It does not recognize the image code typed. There is a PR for this: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=www/99305 August 2006 ... Doesn't seem to be very high priority.

I would fix it myself but I'm not really familiar with perl (And even less familiar with using perl for webpages) and don't have the time to learn/get familiar... -- Martin Tournoij carpetsmoker@rwxrwxrwx.net http://www.daemonforums.org QOTD: A furore Normanorum libera nos, O Domine!
