Thanks, but I've very recently become acquainted with tidy and have begun
using it on my main index.php--thought.org's "www" page. This page
was an almost unreadable rat's net of by-hand coded html. (as i move
toward another mark-up standard.) using your script, or mine, based on
Roland smith's, will be a great help.
I knew there were ways of embedding \n's in scripts and signatures, &c,
but until your posting, i had forgoooten exactly how. thank you for
the refresher!
I'll check the FBSD Docs for `Separating Tags'; that level of obscurity is
beyond amazing, :-)
