Thanks for mentioning this. Just so you know for future reference, patches against the HTML are useless, as that is actually generated from an XML file which can be viewed by appending ?passthru=1 to any page on our website, e.g. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/conky-howto.xml?passthru=1

I'll fix this.
