 Put your stuff between <pre></pre> tags, or use <tt></tt> for that. CSS
is a good try but not all browser can use it - especially netscape 4.X
has huge problems when it comes to stylesheets.  Don't forget to escape
the following special characters between these tags:

 & -- &amp;
 < -- &lt;
 > -- &gt;

 The rest should be fine and has no special meaning within HTML. If you
use search and replace be sure that you substitute & first with &amp;
before you substitute < and > for you might end up with crap if you do
it the other way round ;)

 Btw., what has this to do with ascii-art?  Some webcoding related
newsgroup would have been better.  Just because ascii-art is about
monospaced it doesn't mean everything about monospaced things is ontopic
in here.  At least you lacked an obASCII.

 obASCII:

      ,i.
   ,-' | `.
 .< ,-' `. `.
 | `.     `. `.   Someone got any mail for me?
  `. `.     `.|
    `. `.   ,-'
      `.|,-'
        '

 So long!
