090801 - Follow up ref SDS 18 4292, ref SDS 14 1437.

090803 - Made corrections to the SDS code to fix access problems on Web site.

091201 - We need to make following changes.
091202 -
091203 -   1.  Change htm to HTM for coding links in 070405, per work on
091204 -       980318, ref SDS 18 2190.
091205 -       ..
091206 -   2.  Change font from Courier to TM for headings so it looks a
091207 -       little better. ref SDS 0 3115
091208 -
091209 -          [On 980324 changed SDS linking and archive to support putting
091210 -          link anchors on segment headings. ref SDS 21 1114 ]
091211 -
091212 -       Was only able to change major and indented headings.  The
091213 -       subject descriptions for some reason do not work.  Some of this
091214 -       is browser related, so that even stuff that looks good on my
091215 -       browser may turn out poorly on other browsers.
091216 -
091217 -          [See solution on 980324. ref SDS 20 1253]
091218 -
091219 -   4.  Make all Action Items left justified. ref SDS 0 3769
091220 -
091221 -   5.  Eliminate italics on custom SDS anchors so headings can be
091222 -       anchors, and they do not show up as italics.

Action Items

240401 - 0704050 - Change format for Action Items
240402 - ..
240403 - I want all Action Items to be left justfied.
240404 -
240405 - This is different from Executive Summary lines, because the latter
240406 - are telling a story, and structure is part of the story.
240407 -
240408 - Generally, Action Items should be number consecutively, and need no
240409 - structure because they become control criteria.
240410 -
240411 - Line 1085, ref OF 1 2219, -label lp2 the standard subroutine is
240412 - called here, that is used for headings, except it has a flag 11 = 2.
240413 -
240414 - Line 1740, ref OF 1 3439, -label cfAI, added code to collapse the
240415 - description for Action Items to left justify them.  This will make a
240416 - uniform appearance and ensure that each line is numbered.  Indented
240417 - lines are not numbered and we want every Action Item line numbered.
240418 -
240419 - Decided for now not to change the font face to times roman because
240420 - often Action Items are embedded in text and if we change the type
240421 - face it is too distracting.  We are now making Action Items bold and
240422 - underlined with Courier font face.  Will see how that works.
240423 -
240424 - We still need to do a little editing occassionally on Action items, as
240425 - when a line that is not at the beginning of a sentence is identified
240426 - as an Action Item.
240427 -
240428 - If we send out something individualy, then this is cuatht.  But in the
240429 - data base, the program will format this without human attention.
240430 -
240431 - We can assuage some of this by trying to be careful about starting
240432 - Action Item lines with the beginning of a sentence.

250407 - Line 1310, ref OF 1 4110, -label spLLT, trying to change to Times
250408 - Roman for description of Control Field Subjects.
250409 -
250410 - This may not work because lines are consecutive, unlike headings
250411 - which blanks above and blow, so if they are bigger they look okay.
250412 -
250413 - It didn't work.  The font change does not change smoothly between
250414 - Times Roman and Coureir for each line.  The browser likely gets
250415 - confused.
