Hi guys,

It's kind of a bit more tricky than that.

The Press Release for PG 7.3 page is being worked on as plain text, and
is stored in Zwiki (the software we're using) that way.  HTML inside it
doesn't work.  :-/

It turns out that the "Add Comments" system automatically adds the
needed seperator, but does so in HTML without checking if that's
appropriate.  Have asked the Zwiki guys if they'd consider altering it,
and think it's been added to the "wishlist" area of their bugs tracker,
but that's it.

If anyone here is good with Python, that could be fixed though.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
