I'm just reading my May issue of "The Wolverine" and this came up.
Interesting?
As an aside does anyone know why when you want to bold all it takes is a B, but for others such as quote, you have to write it all out?
Montoya (apparently their new goalie) will be joined by 20-year-old Chris Gartman, who went 27-15-3 with a 3.02 goals-against average during this year's regular season with the Des Moines Buccaneers of the United States Hockey League. The 5-10, 165-pound Gartman spent two years at Cornell before returning to junior hockey.
Gartman and Ruden (a third recruited goalie) are recruited walk-ons, so U-M coach Red Berenson cannot comment on the two until they arrive.

Not sure, but I'd guess that when they were writing the html standard they cribbed a lot off existing word processor/text editor technology, and the "b" and "i" notation looks a lot like antedeluvian WordPerfect markup, while more complicated concepts like quote (which involve multiple text manipulations) had no simple equivalent.

Actually, it's cause I felt like it. If it makes you happier, I'll add just Q for quoting.

I thought he meant html, not Atml.

There's no quote tag per se in html. There's blockquote which just adds margins on both sides, but that's not all the Quote thing does.

Greg, Some us still swear by Word Perfect. Now I know that using it has kept the flood waters at bay.

Hey, I remember WP .9, or somewhere thereabouts. It has one of the best bugs (er, features) in word processing history. If you block deleted with the backspace rather than the delete key, all markup would keep its absolute rather than relative address, which meant that all your font changes would migrate through the document. It made for some very non-intuitive results.

Was WP .9 a beta version of WP 1? 
I just tried WP 9 and didn't get that to happen, but I know that my version has several set of fixes applied to it. Now if you say that WP 10 sucks, I'll agree. I do have a lot of fun converting WP files to Word and sending them to other people, especially those Mac versions of Word.

Umm, the last 3 versions of Word for Mac have created and read files identical to the Windows version.

It is supposed to be that way. So maybe the problem is something to do with the way that WP creates Word files. However, I have no problem editting a Word file created by WP using Word on a PC.
