Thanks Kehvan and Stephane. I don't use it myself as it's not available for
Linux, but can either of you tell me if it is possible to turn OFF the
adding of
the hard returns (we suspect 0A binary) from within Homesite? I'm getting a
filter written to convert accents, currency symbols etc to their HTML
equivalents, and it will be able to strip these returns out as well, but it
would make things easier if I can tell the Homesite users how to turn it off
in
the first place.

These guys are completely new to HTML, some are even inexperienced with
computers, all are using european keyboards and composing sites in French,
German etc (hence the proliferation of accents and mix of currency). I'm
providing them with templates, but the pages are coming back mangled and in
some
cases in need of considerable TLC before they are ready for the web.

Anything that could reduce the introduced problems would be appreciated.

Cheers,
