Anybody know out there of a program that takes a discography, and translates it into a nice looking webpage? Right now, I have one I'm working on set up, but it's using <PRE> and </PRE>, so it doesn't look very nice. Of course, I can't insert pictures or links without work, so that's why I ask. :)

Right, if you have it in a word doc you can have Bill Gates internet assistant put it into HTML for you. If the disco is in cuneiform however, you'll have to rekey it for sure. On an unrelated note: I'm going away on vacation Saturday June 20th thru Saturday June 27th. Driving out to Detroit where I won't just be playing a Godfather on TV, I'll be becoming one in real life. Later in the week, as mentioned, I'm continuing up to Toronto to catch some of the Jazz Festival including Jack DeJohnette's "Oneness". So, please don't blow anything up while I'm away. Any administrative issues which turn up while I'm away will be handled upon my return. Play hard, play fair and nobody gets hurt. Teep IDM-owner

No you wouldn't.. All discographies are in some type of order.. I offered this dude to write him a script that would convert it on here.. Look at Chris Miller's discography, it's all in a structured pattern that can be looked out for.. the main info is always there, then the "note:"'s can be checked for. All in all it's quite simple to write a script that will output that in a nice HTML format. __ __\ \ / /_\ \ 1cQ<->uIN \_____/ 1.3777993 "..in whatever you do, if you can't break new ground, what's the point?" - James Cameron
