It's a solid strategy but I don't know > how you should go about doing something like that. And I am using ASCII text structured using the email-like formatting of reStructuredText (http://docutils.sf.net, also in every decent distribution as a python-docutils or similarily named package.) It absolutely rules, can be converted to XML, html, Tex, Postscript/PDF etc.) I even use this as formatting language in the CMS I wrote for my website, "teeny tiny cms". Personally I don't like seeing <tag>tags</tag> in what I write. I really recommend reST everywhere I go where the topic of text formats comes up. As I recommend Pd all the time. ;) Yes, it handles images just fine. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
