Guiguts wasn't designed to convert existing texts. It's purpose is to help a DP PPer turn the output of the DP rounds into the final product seen on PG. In this case, the DP text for a piece of poetry would have had the poetry wrapped in poetry markers, signifying to Guiguts that it had to treat the block of text as non-wrappable poetry, and not just a straight paragraph of prose.

I see. I was told the output of DP was text and the html generated from it. Now I gather DP uses some sort of proprietary internal markup and can produce HTML without having to produce TXT? Am I right? -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
