Actually, I took bowerbird's plea to mean simply that he wanted *some* indication in a plain text version of where images appeared, and which image was used. E.g.: text text [image: xyz.gif] text text This would not seem to be too much to ask, and I think Lynx will do this if you use the -dump option to save HTML as plain text. Incidentally, at what point did the world decide to indicate italics by placing underscores before and after text? The canonical usage used to be to use a forward slash (solidus), / to indicate italics, and underscores to indicate underlining. (And * to indicate bold.) Steve Joshua Hutchinson wrote:
all of this is just to resubmit a plea that i have made before (and will _continue_ making until i get a positive response!) for information about the name and location of graphic-files to be included in the _plain-text_ versions of the e-texts...
And now it is no longer a plain-text file. With the added penalty of having no existing validators to make sure that the markup used is done correctly.
Basically, you're reinventing the wheel for no purpose here.
