|  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?
|   `. `.     `.|
|     `. `.   ,-'

Cheers mate,

twas a great help! :)

It's just that I may be putting some of my own ascii, on my site. Sorry if
it seems a little off topic, but the people at alt.html weren't helping my
plight [yet again]. So I thought I'd cut ot the chase and ask the good
people here, who evidently have the know how to solve the mystery of
applying fixed width in HTML - seeing as many people have ascii in their
sites.

what's obASCII?? Never heard of that before now.

Thanks
