I agree.  But I changed the border color because the green was not
showing up well against the blue background in the nav bars.

Yes.  I just realized all of the code examples use <pre>, which are
*extremely* difficult to style.  Maybe a future release of texi2html
should use <code> instead.  As a workaround, I converted the blocks
that use <pre> to monospace.  Everything should be scaled fine now.

This would be difficult given the structure of the HTML right now.
Reinhold, would it be easy to add a new class for these @smallexample,
@multitable constructs? (line 393 of pitches.itely)

I also compressed the spacing of the footer and changed the link's
appearance, as Reinhold suggested.
