By using the <pre> and </pre> tags (for people viewing this post in html
format, that's the "pre" and "/pre" tags), you can easily display your ASCII
drawings in HTML. Nya.

Nya. I didn't think that that was a question... there are many websites which display ASCII art in HTML format... A listing of many sites can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/2695/links.htm And my ASCII art website has been up for over 2 years... the ASCII art is on html pages-- and yes, I used the preformat html tags...

Not nearly as prestigeous/important as netscape netcenter, but you are my
web site's "Featured Site of the Day" (picks at random each day from a list
of what I think are the best sites on the net). This means that possibly 2
people were turned in your site's direction by my site!

Read the header Veronica... also, if you go back into Dejanews, the question referred to both ANSI and ASCII... hmmm, I just went back and checked... looks like the original posts have been pulled... I can't find them.. .but I know that I didn't start the thread! ;) And you're right, noone claimed that converting ASCII to html couldn't be done... just a revelation on someone's part. And as for ANSI,-- well, I have no idea... but this is an ASCII art newsgroup, right? not an ANSI art newsgroup. -joan -- _ {_} /*\ /_*_\ {('o')} Just Clowning Around...

|Mr. Atkins:
|
|For your information, I'm the "someone by the name of" you're
|referring to. It seems my name was ISO-8859-1-encoded so that my
|middle initial, the "a" with the acute accent in my last name
|("Beltr�n"), and the initials of my titles came out all wrong. (It
|should have read: "Luis D. Beltr�n, M.S., P.P.L.") Anyway, my actual
|intention (as a Netscape user, at least until the other day, and as a
|follower of this newsgroup for about a year and a half) was to praise
|Spunk1111's web site being elected as a Netscape Netcenter's Site of
|the Day. (Incidentally, she replied with a thank-you note, which I
|appreciate very much.)
|
|As I write this, I'm changing my "From" header to avoid further
|confusion... that is, if I have to address this newsgroup in the
|future.
'----------------------------------
My Newsreader didn`t interpret the ISO-8859-1 encoding again so I`ve pasted
in the message from my Outlook Excrete (sorry, Outlook Express) which can
understand the encoding.
Nice to actually be able to see your name now... Free Agent's a cool
newsreader but it doesn`t even support MIME never mind ISOthingywotsit
encoding! :o)
Thanks for clearing that up...
