Thanks Fredrik, Peter and John for your help.
John, I especially enjoyed your line by line assasination of my code,
keep it up.
I'm not a programmer, I dislike programming, I'm bad at it. I just
agreed to do this to help someone out, I didn't even know what python
was 3 days ago.

[can happen],
this should be:

Thanks so much, a really elegant solution indeed.
I have another question actually which I'm praying you can help me
with:
with regards to the .jpg conversion to .jpg]] and .gif -> .gif]]
this works, but only when .jpg/.gif is on it's own line.

how about
if line.startswith("==="):
line = line + "==="
or
if "===" in line: # anywhere
line
Cheers for the reply.
But I'm still having a spot of bother with the === addition
it would seem that if there is no whitespace after the ===test
then the new === gets added to the next line
