Along with punctuation, so many of the older stories (and some not so old) are also in need of proofreading (typos, etc.) but that is far beyond the capability of a script.

I looked at a couple stories I remember having the formatting issue and... *poof*, it's all gone. Splendidly done! Splendid!

In particular - in many stories quotation marks and a few other punctuations are just question marks; the browser can't figure out what character to use (chrome, firefox, and whatever it is microsoft uses these days all have the same issue). Is there any way to run them through more modern document software, or HTML compiler, to replace the broken characters with functional ones? Or would that require extensive manual editing?

When he updates them, they should have those symbols replaced with the correct ones. I'll do another check afterwards to make sure I got them all. - Rimme _______________________________________________ MKGuild mailing list <a style=" font-family:'arial'; font-size: 10pt;" href="mailto:MKGuild@lists.integral.org">MKGuild@lists.integral.org</a> <a style=" font-family:'arial'; font-size: 10pt;" href="http://lists.integral.org/listinfo/mkguild">http://lists.integral.org/listinfo/mkguild</a></td> </tr> </table> -- Best regards, AmigaDragon <a style=" font-family:'calibri'; font-size: 10pt;" href="mailto:ejolson@wiktel.com">mailto:ejolson@wiktel.com</a></body></html>
