I agree. It's good for the Tutorial to cover the basics, but
this sort of thing strikes me as a perfect example of "cool
stuff you can do with Cat" that people would _want_ to do, and
thus would be good to demonstrate tutorially.

Jesse and Octavian,

Thank you very much for your input. Devin Austin (dhoss) and I are talking
about working on such a thing at the end of the tutorial. If anyone has
ideas they would like to input, let us know.

It sounds like people are OK with the simple wrapper.tt2 and css I proposed
for the earlier parts of the tutorial. Jump in if anyone has comments on
that.

Thanks!
Kennedy
