There's a lot of ways HTML can format text - I think much more so than text client can render.. A text client for BBSing (from what I've seen) typically doesn't do things like italics, underline, fonts and font sizes, frames, etc.. There's a lot of HTML formatting that would just have to be ignored to display it in a BBS text client. Text colors specified in HTML and CSS could probably be used to some extent, and breaking up paragraphs (with the HTML
tag), etc., but I think it would be fairly limited. Nightfox --- þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com .
