Yeah, but in your "awful html example" you conveniently "hid" the < > escapes needed to pass "<" and ">" through the html parser, yes, even in <pre></pre> structures. It's no big deal usually, but in an ASCII ART FAQ, at least half the pictures will contain a "<" or ">", sometimes in large quantities. It sounds like too much bother. Now if you were to convert the art into GIFs, and inline them into the html faq--THAT would be something to behold. :) -- /''' Collin Forbes c oo col...@uidaho.edu `` > `'` http://gopher.uidaho.edu/1/users/collinf/
