I just tested it and I noticed a few "glitches"

- When you click in a browser column, the item is highlighed GOOD,
  but also the column is scrolled such that the highlighted item is 
  the last visible item.  I would not expect any scrolling.

- Clicking in the browser does not screem to scroll the textview.  
  I expect that the item I select is at least visible but nothing happens.

- The nice symbols like the ! > I see on the screenshot on your website, well
  I do not see them on my computer.

Well, you could look at http://www.xs4all.nl/~wim/GNUstep/autogsdoc.html,
there are now Base.help and Gui.help as generated with autogsdoc.

Disclaimers:  The xlp files generated are not correct xlp files, so there
are a few quirks that are completely my fault.  
My priority when I work at autogsdoc is the TeX output, so quite a few 
autogsdoc tags are not implemented for xlp.

It would help if you could find the time to document the xlp format.

Thanks.
