[imc-uk-tech] Please correct HTML in an article I posted ...

[yossarian]

Hi Dennis,

I took a crack at fixing up the HTML in your article yesterday
afternoon, spent about an hour on it - it appears that we have a problem
with our server that is causing the problem.  We are running a utility
that is supposed to clean up HTML posts, but for some reason that I
can't quite fathom it is having difficulty with your code.  The site
isn't really set up to deal with HTML posts, I think another admin
ticked the "HTML" box on your posting as it was showing up with all the
code etc on the site.  Fixing this is a little beyond my capabilities (I
don't have server access and the problem is apparently a little bit
complex), so I'm sorry to say that there's not much I can do except make
sure there is a bug report filed (somebody else had done this already
for the same bug). 

Please bear with us while our techs work on the site, and for the time
being it might be better to not post HTML if you can avoid it. 
Apologies once again, and thanks for your contribution,

Yossarian
