John, could I ask you to revisit this for me, I've made a few changes and
things have fallen apart again.
I've put the european 'quote' marks in as next page / previous page on two
pages (08/??/63 WWvA and 08/11/63 WWvA Diary) clear and float aren't doing
what I expect them to - but that isn't anything new.
To add insult to injury, the image alignment which was working has just
fallen apart again - and since you've understood what I've been trying to
do, I'm imposing - if you would be so kind.
