I started an HTML thread, however this was about displaying 'real' asciiart on the web, a
problem that has been discussed before, and will be discussed again.

I simply suggested the <PLAINTEXT> tag as a way of displaying what are basically text
files with body colours and a heading.

I have since discovered that it is out of date, and therefore was a good idea, but fatally
flawed.

You, on the other hand, are talking about a way of changing ascii art to something it can`t
usually be by 'cheating' the web browser into moving the lines a half space, therefore
this is not 'real' asciiart.

See you......
