Okay, but I still don't understand the link between GTK+ theme and the help

that we only have one stylesheet for our documentation, and that it be a11y
happy from the start.


The problem is that there is no one "accessible" theme-- some people
need big print, some need high or low contrast, some need both.  I dunno
much (well, anything) about stylesheets, but I'm guessing the only way
we could get away with a universal stylesheet would be if Yelp had
buttons to increase/decrease font size on the fly, and the ability to
choose the document's foreground, background and link colours.
Otherwise I assume we'd need to provide different stylesheets to meet
different users' requirements, and provide some way of choosing which
one to use either in Yelp or some centralised desktop location.

Could an html stylesheet be tied into the metatheme system?

The following gives a lot of useful information about designing accessible stylesheets:

I don't know how many of these CSS things are actually useful with gtkhtml2 at the moment though.
