Gotcha. I had a feeling that's what you meant but wanted to make certain.

Unfortunately this is how this particular file is setup and I know of no way to correct this short of going through the file manually, in which case I wouldn't need to do the markdown anyway because I'd correct the other sloppy formatting while I was in there. I'll attach a sample below.

I'll keep chugging away. Thanks much for the info.

Code:
<p align=center style='text-align:center'><span class=italic1>IN TRIBUTE</span></p>

<p align=center style='text-align:center'><span class=italic1>Billy Wellington</span></p>

<p align=center style='text-align:center'><span class=italic1>(March 12,
1943–October 29, 2007)</span></p>
