I saw the CSS rules - as stated previously, I am not a coder - I 
can read it enough to hack it occasionally, but to actually 
write it and get all the syntax right is not in my skill-set, 
not is it something I want to spend the time to learn at this 
stage of my life. So, I'm glad I got it all working - in order 
to get the reports in html I had to do one additional thing 
after downloading the latest version of logwatch - it runs as a 
chron job from a perl script in cron.daily - I had to find the 
output line in that script and change it to 'html' 
from 'unformatted' - works great now
