: For example:

: <pre>

: [the ascii art here]

</pre>

In HTML, you don't have to close off a <P>.  But you probably 
would want to include </pre> at the end of the ASCII work.
Otherwise the rmainder of your file will look like plain .txt.
And any HTML-checker would probably give you a "BAD HTML!" icon.

 I've heard the only time that hair interferes with the music is when
 it gets tangled up in the instrument.  There's been a lot of debate
 on that from the bluegrass camp.   -- Norman Blake, Live at McCabe's
