[Rivet] Rivet first use

Hi all,

I just installed Rivet the first time and used the bootstrap script.

Given my HepMC files, I ran rivet according to
https://rivet.hepforge.org/trac/wiki/FirstRivetRun with the
OPAL_2001_S4553896 analysis.

At first, it hung at rivet-mkhtml without clear indication what is going
wrong. By following the code, I finally found that it was due to missing
texlive-pstricks. Shouldn't a working latex installation be checked for
in the configure script? At least I assumed that it would.

Having fixed that I know see nice plots in
plots/OPAL_2001_S4553896/*.pdf but the index.html is rather empty:

<p style="font-size:smaller;">Angles between the leading (in energy)
four jets defined using the Durham algorithm with
$y_\mathrm{cut}=0.008$. The data is presented at the parton level and
includes the Bengtsson-Zerwas, Korner-Schierholz-Willrodt and
Nachtmann-Reiter angles as well as the angle between the two softest
jets.</p>

No attempt to show the generated pngs? Any idea what is going wrong here?

Finally, a minor bug. Your link in the menu bar to Troubleshooting
doesn't work.

Otherwise, keep it up! I really like the idea and plots of Rivet :).
