I've learnt some very useful basic html from posting here.  For example, that was a double space between sentences: a text editor like Notepad will give you only one space that will show up in html; if you want another you can add: &nbsp; -that'll do it.  A "blue clicky thing" is <a href="URL">something to click on</a>  etc.  I also got sufficiently interested in it to find out how to display the html instructions; anything that involves learning a new skill has a lot to be said for it!

<PRE> does work, but it's a bit limiting: for example:

Here is a line    

followed by 2 carriage returns     followed by 5 spaces.

Not very interesting to look at.  There may well be a case for making it easier for people to post formatted lyrics, but I don't think it's much of a priority; if I can learn to do it, then anybody can; it's not difficult.
