OK, here's one for you. Pre-formatted text displays line breaks simply where you hit the enter key. No <br>s required. EXCEPT at Mudcat. You still need <br>s here.

I have no idea why this doesn't work at Mudcat, but it would certainly save a bit of work if we could just type <pre> in at the beginning and </pre> at the end of a song. The chord positioning would work too.

This is still something one has to learn how to do.

If this were an e-mail list or newsgroup, things would work the way Clinton would want. They could also easily display our return e-mail addresses, real or faked, the way Bruce O wants. It's HTML based, though, and probably will remain so. I don't think all the searches - songs, members' posts, threads, etc, would be possible if this forum weren't HTML based. Even if they were, converting would be nothing I'd even dream of Max to consider.
