This is HTML Art
I'm new to this ASCII Art and I've never heard of HTML Art before.
I've just recently been learning how to write HTML and when I saw the ASCII
Art, the thought occurred to me that I could write a HTML version
of it and send it by Email or post it on Newsgroups. I'm very curious
to know if this is a new idea or if HTML Art already exists, and if so
where would I find some? Please let me know if you know anything
about this.If not this could be a first!
I'm no artist but I'm sure all you ascii artists could have great
fun with HTML
INSTRUCTIONS
If you COPY the section between the lines to you're CLIPBOARD,
PASTE it into a text editor/word processor, and save it somewhere
convenient(such as the desktop). Then open it in NETSCAPE 2.x
(or similar) by selecting OPEN FILE in the FILE menu.
It works best for me using the "Courier size 9" font and to get the colors
right you'll need to have: "Let document override" selected in Preferences/
Colors.
I think it should work with any platform. I'm using an Apple Mac. I'd be interested to know if it works for you and what platform you're using.

I viewed it in Netscape 1.1 The ferry looks great. I haven't seen the stars blink yet. I can't wait! How did you do the moon? Jon.
