Christian,
I've been using the version in the repository. It seems to work for
ordinary material. At least emphasis isn't broken. That is important to
a lot of people. Perhaps it isn't broken in a more recent revision. What
is the revision in which the changes you pointed out were made?
I'm working on a scripting language that will replace the present
emphasis algorithm. I wouldn't mind waiting a bit to see how that goes
and to investigate the changes.
John
