text to html

Mon Aug 25 19:37:52 EDT 2003

Not very good advice, Sina.

let's not go around inventing this stuff out of ignorance. There are
some pretty clear guidelines about what constitutes accessible HTML at
http://www.w3.org/wai. I suggest that meeting those guidelines needs to
be a priority.

Let me make it real clear. We talk about accessibility here on this
list. We must give as we expect to receive.
