Hi,

I'll submit a V3 with a logo for the html and pdf docs.

Note, the SVG logos are quite big (2 are required) and converting them to pdf for the Latex pdf docs requires another addition to the makefiles. This is a case where the patch would be smaller and simpler with PNG files and where the images are unlikely to require editing.

It is just as easy to get a link to a subsection from the index. The permalinks are distracting because they blink on and off when scrolling through the docs. Also, I doubt more than a handful of people will know what the permalinks in the Html docs are.

Anyway, I'll remove this part from the patch and submit it separately. If there is any support for it the patch can be applied, if not then you can reject it.

John.
