As usual, a video showing it:

.. raw:: html

   <object width="660" height="525"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gXE3vNlyQKs&hl=en&fs=1&hd=1&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gXE3vNlyQKs&hl=en&fs=1&hd=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="660" height="525"></embed></object>

The current status is that the infrastructure required for the stylesheet editor is in place:

* I figured out how to turn the StyleSheet object back into a JSON stylesheet.

* The changes are done and merged back into the same file.

* There is UI for 3 of the 6 required pieces. The missing ones are text styles, embedded fonts, and config options (like, break subsections to odd pages)

* The UI for the whole app is pretty rough, I am in full make-it-functional mode right now. It **will** be rethought later on.
