[Robert Page IV]

Gunnar:
Thanks. I read this before in Lincoln Stein's CGI book but it did not 
register
the first time.

Thanks for the help as this solves my current issues.

I added pre('executive summary') and pre('details') to the

Thank you very much. I am weary about the fact that HTML tags are 
permitted inside PRE. Apparently, &, < and > must either not be
present or handled somehow according to 
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/block/pre.html.
Can someone recommend a solution to this problem?
Use CGI.pm's escapeHTML() function.
