In the spirit of the upcoming Pt 100 of Red Baron, I got to doing a bit
of HTML art.
Simply paste this code on your website:
<tt>
 ________________________<br>
|   __                 / |<br>

('__`>              /  |<br>
| /=(^^)  <a

href="http://home.t-online.de/home/ulrich.schreglmann/redbaron/">BARON</a>  /   |<br>
| `\_-/             /NOW!|<br>
'OOL---------------'-----'
And it will end up looking like this:
________________________
| __ / |
| ('__`> / |
| /=(^^) RED BARON / |
| `\_-/ /NOW!|
'OOL---------------'-----'
With "Red" and "Baron" as hyperlinks. Spiffy, eh?

Yeah, but then you could recognize it in the source code already, and
that would be cheating!
You know why I didn't suggest "<pre>"? Because I was convinced you
couldn't put hyperlinks into "<pre>" tags! I really have to get back
into practicing HTML!
Thanks, Lllllliz! Thanks Fulgore!

Or, if you rather want complete control over your HTML-code, I'd recommend the 'Phase 5' HTML-Editor by Ulli Meybohm (available at www.meybohm.de). It's fast, has a small footprint and (above all) it's freeware. HTH, Axel. We went to the moon as technicians, we returned as humanitarians. Edgar D.

You can't, but that is only by standard, actually both IE & NS allow you to do that.

The list of tags which may not be used within <pre> is specified in the HTML 4.01 DTD as: <!ENTITY % pre.exclusion "IMG|OBJECT|BIG|SMALL|SUB|SUP"> The standard also notes that this list has not changed since HTML 3.2. >And I think w3c doesn't like the <pre> tag, so it is not implemented in >xhtml. Where did you get that from? Of course XHTML has <pre>. In fact, it pretty much has to have it because every _other_ way of marking up preformatted text has been deprecated even before HTML3. And it still can contain links. Appendix B of the XHTML 1.0 standard, which lists elements that are excluded within other elements, says: pre cannot contain the img, object, big, small, sub, or sup elements.

There are ways to find out, you know. http://www.htmlhelp.org/tools/validator/direct.html Add some code with <a> inside <pre> and hit the "Validate it!" button. "Congratulations, no errors!"
