This is one case where I included it in an HTML page (with a ‘viewer’ application): http://map.tni.nl/viewer.php?f=/resources/disk/IDETECH.TXT That file by the way also very well illustrates the need for preformatted text. You can also find even better examples if you browse through the files at http://map.tni.nl/resources/, a lot of them are taken from textfiles and transformed to HTML, but retain parts in preformatted text from the original where it is needed. E.g. see http://map.tni.nl/resources/dos2_environment.php#c2_3 and http://map.tni.nl/resources/msxbios.php#PCMPLY (although I admit some other uses of preformatted text could have better been ‘translated’ better with a table, but never mind that, call it a ‘partial’ transformation if you will). > PS Your "ASCII" Art wasn't ASCII! > :) Arguably, it wasn’t ‘art’ either. ~Grauw -- Ushiko-san!
