Help with web-page?

Hi all!

Im trying to sort an ascii file so I can put it on my web-pages... trouble
is, it has lots of spaces and <'s all over the place. I sorted out the spaces
by using <pre> but now I'm a bit stuck... can anyone make any suggestions?

Thanks!

Doesn't seem to be a problem where I use ascii art, at least under
netscape e.g. I have some in /x/clam/people/troutman/index.html
                      and    --------------/koos.html

If nothing else, stray '<'s just have to become '{'s
     OR
you could say
click here for an <a href="anotherfile.txt"> ascii picture </a>
and of course the browser doesn't care WHAT ascii chars you put in .txt

Hi, I had the same problem with my Web page. Some of the browsers make 
spaces so small that it did not work at all. It was particularly bad when 
viewed with Microsoft Net Explorer. My solution was to take screenshots of 
the ASCII art with a program called wincpy (shareware) and make them 
into .gif files. wincpy is probably available from Simtel or a search 
engine can find it for you.

   I let my word processor (MS Word) do that stuff for me. For MS Word you
can download Internet Assistant from the MS web page and add it to the
word processor. Internet Assistant lets you create an html file just as
easily as a .doc or .txt file.
   You can create a web page by opening an ascii file and then saving it
as a .htm file. The word processor does all the work for you. You can add
links and other things very easily. I think all the major word processors
work similarly so you should be able to do this with Word Perfect or
whatever else you might use. 
   I put the picture below on my page just as I described above. I think
bold text looks better for ascii pictures when using graphical web
browsers such as Netscape so I made the entire picture bold text.
   Netscape Gold has a simple feature that lets you colorize text. I used
that feature to colorize this black and white picture of Goofy for my web
page. Color adds a lot to these pictures and it's very simple and quick to
do.

Try replacing the...
'<' with &lt
'>' with &gt
'&' with &amp
'"' with &quot
(there's a complete list at http://www.uni-passau.de/%7Eramsch/iso8859-1.html)

Hope this helps...

Remember ... when netscape rules the world, it's time to leave.

Would you believe there are still people out there who can't use it,
because the computers can't cope with netscape.

However, I actualy wanted to help, not talk philosophy :-)

In HTML, < is a control code. However, you can "encode" a "<" as
"&lt;", and ">" becomes "&gt;". A qoute """ is "&quote;". Just do
a search&replace on your ascii-art, and DON'T forget the ";" behind
the entitities.

Hope it helps ...
