An archive of plaintext messages, for example, would mark up each message as <pre>: the message is formatted by plaintext conventions. (You can't use <l> in this case because each line of a plaintext message is not a semantic line, as it is in poetry. The line breaks within a paragraph are determined solely by how much text fits within the wrap width.) ~fantasai -- http://fantasai.inkedblade.net/contact
