I'm not really sure whats going on there. On the edited entries I've
contributed to that have ascii art in them, the pre tags are working, eg:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A510986
So explaining to them how it works isn't necessary. Its a little annoying
for me that I can't edit stuff now since it wont view properly for me.
But at the moment, impending exams means that I won't be editing much on
there anyway. When I get more time, I'll be sure to find out what's going
on and get it sorted out.

PS, anyone remember Andrew Belsey? Just been talking with him by email...
