Today you sent me mail regarding Re: Substitution of asteriks:

i added an extra fixup run after all the work is done ... with -E

.wmlrc:
-E /usr/drwho/netvar/websites/ethrat/.wml/htmlfix.sh


htmlfix.sh:
#! /bin/sh
/usr/pack/wml-1.6.8-to/lib/exec/wml_p7_htmlfix $1 > $1.tmp && mv $1.tmp $1


*> Yours, Florian.

*>     or maybe Gimp, but the version of Gimp (1.1.2) I have recommends
*>     updating perl, and, of course, my Gimp should be replaced by
*>     version 1.1.3.
*>     Update mania, again.
*>     And I don't use images on my buttons, so you should probably go
*>     with his version if you depend on this feature.

we have done the gimp trick as well, but I quite like to be able to use
truetype fonts so I changed to imagemagick ... 

cheers
