- Eelco,
-
- I agree that it would be useful to have a mono-spaced litteral
- text format which would still accept tags other than the closing
- tag. Because tags, especially if
- automatically generated, can easily produce very long lines
- unless they are broken up, it might be useful for
- thiat format to have explicit new lines. (The paragraph
- mark <P> could be used, with hte convention that it
- represents only a new line). Like you, I have come
- across the need for it mainly in converted information.
-
- It would be very easy to put in the browsers.
-
- By the way, have you seen the Gnu Info convertion
- which Philippe Defert does, on http://asis01.cern.ch:80/info/ ?
- He uses a perl script. Would you both like to publish
- your scripts? They would be useful examples for anyone
- writing converters, and people might wantto set up their
- own Gnu Info servers too.
