[snipped 5 lines] As a point against top posting supporters,nice, if they get the hint, that is. As a regular post, if it's not monospaced fonts, you might look silly. Come to think of it, even trying to prove a point against top posting, if it's not monospaced, you're probably going to land in everyone's kill file. friend or foe,alike. :-) sivaram -- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Well, if you put the text in an HTML table, like <table> <tr> <td>in the war against top posting, I am sure you'll win</td> <td>Plus it will annoy everyone<p>Ted and then point shr at it, it'll render it like that, and you can post it. :-) -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Just point `libxml-parse-html-region' at an HTML snippet and then feed the resulting DOM to `shr-insert-document'. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
