[Mono-list] Need help: writing a COM control.

So finally I'm finished with the class library.
I have now 39.279 Files, taking 242 MB.

I'll take some time until mono has so much documentation itself...

The start-file is cpref_start.htm and it looks ugly and a window pops up.

There needs to be a css files created, that makes the thing look better and
the non-html-tags (and the popup-window) must be removed perhaps trough
xslt.

Here's a screenshot of the class lib doc in Mozilla.
