WHY put normal text in <PRE>? That tag is for _preformatted text_, e.g. ascii art or text which is already formatted as plain-text tables. Normal text in html is best presented with <P> for paragraphs, <Hx> for headers, etc. This makes it easy to distinguish what is a header (because it is rendered with a big font / a different font / centered / indented / whatever your browser and/or stylesheet uses to distinguish headers). It also makes the text in the paragraphs wrap when it reaches the right edge of the browser window (which is one of the Good Things about well-written html). -- (, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ /|__--__ . __--__ |\ '__ /|\ _{ _ `.' / `.,_ _________ | _________ _,.'
