I have put a page on my website that will generate the text that prettifies Mudcat text when previewed/posted
It is basic and the effects cannot be combined (yet)
And it also adds a feature that does not seem to be present on the Mudcat blickie generator - if you do not include "http://" it adds it. If there is no "www" it suggests you try first (some sites still need it)

Anyway ( used it to generate these fillips). Let me know wot U thinks . here it is.
