It should be pretty clear what errors there were , I posted a link to the  
validiator at w3c I used and cut and pasted most of the errors it showed.

The fact the text was coming out other than intended could be due to any  
mark up error screwing up the parsing near the text concerned. It may  
misinterpret quite a bit before it gets back in sync.

I saw no point in working out extactly why it was wrong until the  
maintainer of the page got it to validate.

Some of the more recent links in this thread seem to be fixed since that  
text is coming out much more readably and "gnuplot homepage" is no longer  
wrapping.

I'll wait for the dust to settle on these changes and post back if I still  
see anything out of place.

Use of the w3c validator should get things in order anyway.

regards.
