Why not 5 {caret}, not just three {caret} plus ^^? No real reason; the asciidoc parser accepts two together so I left them there. Anyone reading a transformed version should see the real ^s, so the question is whether it's clearer for someone reading the .txt file to see a mixture with a passing resemblance to a few lines earlier, or just to see {caret} consistently. 5 {caret} is fine by me. For more consistency, there are three other ^s in the file could which could also be changed, but none of them cause breakage now. f -- Francis Daly francis@daoine.org
