Subject: LINGUIST List Book Reviews:  HTML Tags

Those of you who receive LINGUIST List issues by email may have noticed html
tags appearing in the text of some recently posted book reviews. The review
editors have been experimenting with using the html b and i tags to indicate
boldface and italic font shifts, and the pre tag to preserve alignment in
glossed text examples, and simple charts. These tags are correctly 
intepreted if
the issues containing them are opened in a web brower, or in an 
html-aware email
program. However, if you open these issues using a plain-text reader, 
these tags
will not be interpreted; i.e. the tags will show up as they were entered.

The b and i tags have appeared so far only in the following issue: 
http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-3588.html

The pre tag has appeared in: 
http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-3391.html and 
http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-3587.html

If you have any comments or suggestions regarding the use of these 
tags, please
