The descriptions are plain text, and sometimes have things like bulleted or numbered lists, done in text. - Like this - And this Some of them even have ASCII art... I shot myself in the foot on this issue with a script that reformatted all the READMEs to make them "better". > But why remove the line feeds?

Now they're not, so there has to be a way to preserve the formatting. What else is there besides <pre> or adding a <br> at the end of each line? (That's not a rhetorical question, I haven't paid attention to HTML standards for the last 15 or so years, so maybe there's a proper solution I never heard of?) _______________________________________________ SlackBuilds-users mailing list SlackBuilds-users@slackbuilds.org https://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - https://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - https://slackbuilds.org/faq/
