Well, mixed in with lots of derogatory remarks which distract from
the technical support.

If it's impossible, should I continue to ask questions whether
specific things are possible or not, or just assume
*everything*whatsoever* is impossible and give up totally?
I thought that really simple things like choosing where there will
be blank lines between sections of text and where there will be
forced line breaks without any blank line would be covered by the
basic HTML markup language, but I guess not, sigh.
By the way, somebody in this thread suggested the CODE element as
an alternative to the PRE element. I tried it just now: It doesn't
do any line break at all, just runs all the code inline with the
paragraph, so that's definitely not the effect I want, not even
close. I think whoever suggested I use a CODE element was just
trying to disrupt everything. I think the Sci-Fi term is "berserker".
