Thanks, the replace option from @Anthony worked pretty well, it got the new lines but didn't provide indentation (as expected). The <pre></pre> tags get both, and I like the font well enough except that it is a lighter gray on a gray background so if I can manage to get that changed I'll probably go with that option.
Yes Dave, you were right it wasn't stripping the asterisks but wasn't rendering them the way I would like.
