that are marked.

Ah. Sounds perfect. I'll look into that (no, I won't ask you how to do it -
this time I'm gonna find out for myself :).

Ah, that's what it is (I've seen the same thing in other texts). Thanks! :)

No :) But I didn't feel like finding out what to do about it
(I guess a quick invokation of sed would have done the job...).
Thanks!
