I use IMG inside of PRE on my "Directory of Files" page. It works
perfectly, though I use it in a "relatively safe" way, I think. :)
The algorithm Netscape uses is pretty simple:
1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9--0--1--2--3--
_____
|:::| s--o--m--e-- t--e--x--t--
|:::|
'---'
a--n--d-- m--o--r--e--
The image is 1.5 characters wide, so the following text begins at the next
"whole" character position. With a monospace font, the relationship between
characters and pixels is a very short arithmetic formula, so laying this
out is child's play for the browser.
