A big yay to having MaryContrary and LFVoy here, but someone needs to fix the formatting for LFVoy's story. It's scrolling right out of the window.

I had a look at the generated HTML source code and its all over the place. It goes completely overkill on font settings and hardcodes just about anything. Fixing that is a major job. Maybe converting the original text document and push ith through the HTML converter again might help, as that thing seems to be rather unpredictable.

Yes, it's readable now. Still kind of odd, though. Was it cut and pasted from another web site?

'Fraid not ma'am
It's now squeezed into a Table, but that doesn't work either, because:
- The style-tag overkill is still there
- The hardcoded font is tiny and if you CTRL-Plus it, the table gets still extended beyond screen boundaries
- The table dimension is hardcoded, which may lead to problems with some browsers
- The table borders haven't been masked out, making it rather weird looking
Do you have any way of posting HTML code directly? If so, I would volounteer to fix it and send it back to you.

I'm gonna pull an Abby here and say "Something is really hinky here." Whatever is messing up the formatting is not getting better. But I am confident that the tech gurus can pull a McGee, or an Eric, or even a Nell, and fix it.

What, do I sense a certain lack of enthusiasm for all that loss and suffering....?
Don't worry, they'll be all right.

That can be a rather optimistic prediction in your writing
Just kidding. It is quite gut-wrenching for the average TnT-shipper, but considering what turd the ENT writers gave you to work with, you did an excellent job

Actually it fits my mood right now. An astronomy club friend died the day after Christmas. He was 67. I'm feeling very blue.
