Sure they do. You just have to "escape" them as  \n

Of course you can! See for example:

http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/pics/ascii/junkyard/creative/animations/Lizard.html

lots of \ characters in that one...  :)

Apparently you would just love that, or you wouldn't use <font>. The
appropriate way to achieve the same effect, without hurting the display
in older browsers, is to use CSS.

Really? In what way? Could it be that a majority of users simply don't
WANT things like cookies and author specified fonts?

I see it like this:

* Those users who do care about how pages display change their
  settings.

* Those users who don't care about how pages display, well, how
  can I put this... THEY DON'T CARE!

WHY are you working so hard to please those who don't care and at the
same time pissing off those who do care? That doesn't make sense.

*yawn*

"Only criticise me if you have something positive to say." Well, I guess
that's one way to stay incompetent... Please note that so far I haven't
said "peep" about the content of your page. (OK, I haven't _looked_ at
the content of your page, but then, why would I want to strain my eyes
by looking at Ant Print?)
