Re: The <PLAINTEXT> HTML tag: Good for ASCIIArt?

Your lines were too long, I had to reformat them for 80col. 2. The <PLAINTEXT> tag is obsolete. Use <PRE> instead. 3. Your pics are fine if your just remember to substitute the < etc. 4. As for the rest of the site, it's awful both in Lynx and as source. If you must use a HTML editor instead of doing it yourself, get a better editor. (I can't comment on how it looks on graphical browsers, but bright yellow on black isn't really my favorite color scheme..) 5. I might try to redo your index page by hand, but first I'll have to make sense of the tag soup it is now.. :( 6. For HTML reference try http://www.w3.org/ and http://www.htmlhelp.com/ In conclusion, most "WYSIWYG" HTML editors I've seen suck large boulders through several kilometers of garden hose, and yours seems to be no exception to the rule. -- __,,,------._ ,-/| `-.
