This I could handle.. maybe if someone takes what I've done so far and
converts it, I probly wouldn't have a hard time figuring out how the
formatting works.
Since I've never really used anything like this (cept html of course) if
someone could convert it ( heh :), and then tell me what I need to do to
get things done, that'd be great.
I'll post my changes again in 4 hours or so.. hopefully I be able to get
something more done today besides just fixing old stuff.
