pov 3.5 b 144 on win
I was interested in default values of povray35.css and therefore searched for
instance of this file on drive of installation. There is no such a file on my
drive. So this file is inlined into documentation by help compiler. I wanted
to read about it so opened help, then switched to search part of html help and
typed 'povray35.css' text to search. Only one page was found. The title of
this page was 'Stylesheet Modifications'. When I doubleclicked this subject
HTML Help warned me "This page provides potentially unsafe information to an
ActiveX." This can be fault of my settings so I clicked OK. Finally apropriate
page appeared, but ... The page had no chapter number. The page had no links
Next, Prev. The page is broken (not closed body etc.) It looks like it is lost
page of documentation.
And additional note, I wonder. if there is no text, link, vlink, alink values
defined in body (or in default css), why there is bgcolor="#ffffff" in body ?
It can cause white letters on white page with some user defined prefered
default values.

Because older versions of IE used to view the help don't support style
sheets...?

There can be such cases
1) so called 'older' version of IE without css support with default values -
bgcolor rather not interfere becouse default value of text color was black
2) so called 'older' version of IE without css support with text
color/background set by user to white on black schema - forced bgcolor causes
white letters on white background
3) so called 'newer' version of IE with css support and default values - there
is no specification of color in body neither in css so default values are used
and result is visible as in case 1)
4) so called 'newer' version of IE with css support and default values
overwritten (inversed) to white on black - it cause white text on white
background - I have checked this case in my IE 5
Of course there is a possibility to define own css file but how can I know
this if it is written in documentation as white on white text ?
bgcolor removing could be wrong solution becouse some css entries have color
defined and can interfere with default values of user so my suggestion is to
add text, link, alink and vlink parameters to body
