You're right, I was putting those around each line of text. But I didn't use, at the beginning of each line, an &ltpre< I used "<" and ">" with "pre" stuck in between them. Which is what I thought I saw on the Page Source page. I'm going to see what happens if I do it your way: &ltpre<a b c No, that's not right! You see the "&ltpre< and it doesn't work! Now I'll do it with "<" then "/" then "pre" then ">" at the end (I wrote it there, but it did a funny thing with the text!), and "<" and "p" and ">" at the beginning. But not of each line, this time. a b c That worked perfectly! What I indicated at the end, < and pre and > at the beginning, and not of each line. So I'm wondering what "&ltpre" has to do with it, and why when you used it, it didn't show up! Thanks, Sowbug (It was awkward writing this, because the code kept doing things I didn't want done to the text that followed, lol. How you can write these things without them turning into HTML tags is a good question!)
