Attached is an html document.  My first one, actually.  I hope it
attaches properly.

It contains my interpretation of the POV-Ray syntax.  It also has most
if not all of the limits for the various parameters.  I believe someone
was looking for those.  Some limits may have been overlooked, especially
as some parameters seem to have an implied positivity but the official
documentation isn't specific.  Interesting effect of having one positive
and one negative radius for a cone, for example.

ANYhoo...  Perhaps someone will find this useful while creating a
texture editor, or something.  Corrections and criticisms glady accepted.

This could be very useful Robert. I haven't checked it for accuracy - I am sure
that others will do that :-)
What it does need, however, is a hypertext index referring to  each section with
a jump back to the index at the end of each section.

I hope so.

Well, I hope they don't spend too much time studying it.  If anything is
obviously missing or wrong, though...

Good idea.  The index will be in the next version.

Rather than post several versions with incremental adjustments, I think
I'll wait for other suggestions and corrections, if any.
