The reason I want to get rid of the grid lines is they basically screw up the display. But ":class: borderless" just seems to be a total waste of time! Sorry, I do appreciate all the help, but it's just not doing anything! So what is the correct syntax for declaring a literal block? And here's hoping it actually does what it claims! Sorry, but I'm really getting totally jaded at getting absolutely no-where! Here's hoping I won't be hassling you with more problems trying to get literal to work! Cheers, Wol |
