For all,
A cheat that can be done. Use your favorite html editor, and create
the page the way you want. (HTML editor, not a word processor) cut and
paste everything between the <body> and </body> tag non-inclusive of
those two tags. Poof it works fine. It's not true TWiki format but it
is within intended parameters and does work without problems.
