Hi John,
I'll take a look at that, thanks.
The magic numbers are annoying,and it would be nice to get rid of them
completely.
I would like to add extra emphases, such as subscript/superscript, underline in
a different colour, double-strikeout, etc. , and the codes would then become
even more inscrutable.
Cheers,
Andy
