: Doesn't seem to be a problem where I use ascii art, at least under
: netscape e.g. I have some in /x/clam/people/troutman/index.html
:                       and    --------------/koos.html

: If nothing else, stray '<'s just have to become '{'s
:      OR
: you could say
: click here for an <a href="anotherfile.txt"> ascii picture </a>
: and of course the browser doesn't care WHAT ascii chars you put in .txt

Remember ... when netscape rules the world, it's time to leave.

Would you believe there are still people out there who can't use it,
because the computers can't cope with netscape.

However, I actualy wanted to help, not talk philosophy :-)

In HTML, < is a control code. However, you can "encode" a "<" as
"&lt;", and ">" becomes "&gt;". A qoute """ is "&quote;". Just do
a search&replace on your ascii-art, and DON'T forget the ";" behind
the entitities.

Hope it helps ...
