There's been some discussion about this a while ago and the argument was
that by making the text one cannot simply obtain the web page and extract
the code any more.

There seems, however, to be an easy solution: Escape all '<'s and '>'s
and whoever is interested in the code can simple cut and paste it from
Netscape, XEmacs, or use `lynx -dump`.


OTOH I _must_ be missing something, the solution cannot be that easy,
can it?
