Would you prefer this one ?

http://212.190.116.26:8080/test_book/intro

then the css would be :

.comment
{
color:#333366;
font-family:monospace;
font-size:8pt;
margin-bottom:10px;
margin-top:10px;
padding:2px;
border:dotted gray 1px;
display:<dtml-var css_comment_display_style>
}

(very quick test, and most probably not worth using "as is". If I find
something nice for the whole css, may I send it?)
