Did you preserve the original html formatting, or type it in again?

For stuff like this, which has decent html formatting to start with, I usually

  1. highlight the text of interest
  2. right click
  3. select "View Selection Source"
  4. a second window comes up, with the raw html, and the html source for the selected text of interest is already highlighted
  5. copy and paste the ready to go html from that second window, right into the FR posting.

This is in Firefox -- I don't know about Internet Explorer.

Sometimes I have to fix up Links, if the original used relative links, by adding the rest of the URL (the http://www.example.com/ base) to them. Other than that, the html formatting often comes straight across.

I didn’t type anything - I just had to delete all the extra line spaces which were appearing (in the code). I use Firefox too.
