For those who know more about this than I do, here's an example of the .html of this godawful file:

Quote:
<div height="1em" width="1em"><font size="3">“So I could leave you hanging out to dry.”</font></div>
<div height="1em"></div>
<div height="1em" width="1em"><font size="3">“You could.”</font></div>
<div height="1em"></div>
<div height="1em" width="1em"><font size="3">“But if I did that, we wouldn’t find the traitor. And since you’d died in his place, he’d be free to continue operating. More people would get killed, and the next person he framed—”</font></div>
<div height="1em"></div>
(Every quote is encoded with & #147; em-dashes are & #151 -- the editor here is converting them automatically -- is there an equivalent of <nowiki> here?)

This file uses no CSS stylesheet whatsoever, just very badly thought out <div> coding in every paragraph, with a blank line purposefully coded between every paragraph.

Penguin should be really embarrassed -- did they actually pay somebody to do this? I'm no professional, but I guarantee I could do a better job.
