Hmm..., Yes..., I see what you mean! To a limited degree, running a forum, I do change things from what the textedit box may say to HTML (in my case I just add a <br> and dont use <p> at all) and reversing it, perhaps to enable easier editing of a thread, and attempting (perhaps badly) to cater for HTML wanting a "<" as an opening tag but abc needing "<" as part of broken rythym notation... BUT, I'm of course only trying to deal with my own "rules"... Jon To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
