The generated HTML should look fine in less-featureful browsers, too, 
since there's nothing that's really dependent on the DHTML or CSS for 
display. It looks fine under both 'w3m' and 'links', for example. The 
code-hiding is done with CSS, so if a browser doesn't support it, it 
just appears inline as it would with the (current) default template.
