One last remark, if you change a font face then the code breaks for
that part as the font face tag precedes the size tag.
for example: font face=Courier size=11

I've been following this one from the sidelines.

And this is my final effort, for tonight, anyway. My earlier

dealt with Wouters observation that it would all break if there were
font face tags present.
