JFYI, the output with this patch looks fine to me but to be honest
I do not mind much about it.

I sent a patch that helped me a lot with parsing. If it is accepted
in some form, it would be great. I am sure that more improvements are
possible.

But all this is matter of personal taste. I am afraid that this theme
is prone for bikeshedding and I do not want to get involved if
possible :-)

Best Regards,
Petr
