My browser window is as big as I can get it. I guess I'll request a bigger monitor, or shorten the tag line.
looks better now. I thought maybe the board didn't like Avril Lavigne.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

I know you guys have working on the "on" problem. I can now create it consistently.
Take the example of the t pre tag.
If I something like this: t pre one t /pre
no problem:
But the following verse which is wrapped in "pre" tags:
1) This old man. 2) He played . 3) He played knicknack on my thumb..
Note that the "one" on the second line of the verse poofs, but he "on" third does not.
Only the first instance gets stripped.
I don't have your stripping code to debug. But I think this info may give you a clue as to what is going wrong. It is a lot easier to find a solution when you can define with some precision what the problem is.
I think it may also have something to do with preceding the "on" word with a space.

Whee! Looks good, folks.
Minor cosmetic suggestion -- I'm wondering if maybe the text-entry box should be centered? What do people think?

The text entry box, and the instructions above it, and the "post message" button, should all be left-aligned in the middle column. Maybe even above the invisible asterisks.

Left-aligned in the center column is a better idea than centering, yes. And perhaps the two lines of information about the box could be separated by a "br" rather than a "p."
If it's just HTML, I may have some time to code if needed.

I'm just wondering, if you have the time to say, why are there white-fonted asterisks instead of a collection of s?

Oooh. Secret asterisks. it's like the prize at the bottom of the CrackerJacks!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You'll have to wait for Jon to return to get an answer. I'm pretty sure they're there to help get one browser or another (probably Netscape) to display the page properly when there are no full lines of text on the page.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes -- it's for table width. It used to be a sentence. Spaces wouldn't have the same effect.
