    The ">" here means "greater than", as in: throw an error if trying to convert a greater than 1-bit BMP file to XBin. A monochrome BMP is a 1-bit BMP file.

    You told me that xbimage.js converted a non-monochromatic BMP file for you, when it should not have even tried (it should have rejected it). That's now fixed.
