 Hello Ilya, 

 Most entries in lss files directly correspond to html tags (i.e. "li" is a
style for text containing inside "<li></li>"). Also, it's possible to specify
style for class-extended attribute name, e.g. "span.foo" is a style used
for displaying text inside
        <span class=foo></span>
 There are very few styles that doesn't directly correspond to html tags that
were supported before you started hacking lynx - all of them are IMO
briefly documented in ./samples/lynx.lss.
 It's only you who added special styles that were totally undocumented IMO. So
please documented all styles that you added while you are in :)
 I think there is no need to document styles directly corresponding to html
tags - just state "for each html tag there is a lss style named after it -
see W3C html spec for a list of html tags".

 Just a hint: when you'll be writing documentation, don't use tables, but use
<dl><dt><dd> - lynx displays them in more reasonable way, example:

<dl> 
 .....
 <dt>foo1</dt><dd>description of foo1</dd>
 <dt>foo2</dt><dd>description of foo2</dd>
 <dt>foo3</dt><dd>description of foo3</dd>
 ....
</dl>

 Feel free to ask any questions.
