Reading stolen code
Right, some of it is near
impossible to read. There is no perfect solution to this but
there are two obvious ones. A good text editor or a little
programming. With a text editor you simply have to do it by hand
which can get tedious.
What you do is do a search for
every >, cursor to the next character passed it and insert two
carriage returns. When you have done that for every > go back
to the top and reformat everything to paragraphs. So obviously
your text editor is in the insert mode and it has to be set to
form paragraphs.
If you are more comfortable
with your favorite word processor by all means use it.
But if you want to see the effects of your changes you
have to save the changes as a text file otherwise you are going
to see all the control characters that it inserts in its own
format. Your word processor knows to ignore them, HTML does not.
For folks using intel based
machines, or can emulate software that runs on it, I suggest
QEDIT. If you are not good at reading fine manuals, find a
friend who is as some of the configuration options are cryptic at
best. I will mail you a
configured version that will work if you write. I also
charge for answering questions about using it at the rate of
$4000.00 and hour chargable in fifteen minute increments, one
hour retainer required.
