Tom,
Another flow problem I see in the latest electronic MRB is related to long "words" such as URLs. These seem to be incompatible with full justification of text, frequently causing the line above or below to have very wide gaps between words. The following is an example of what I'm talking about. It is not an exact reproduction but it is close.
Code:
ESA comments on “horn” on Cydonia Face image Our 2006 September 15 issue
(http://metaresearch.org/publications/bulletin/2006issues/0915/Mrb06c.asp) contained an article about the new 3-D
stereo image of the Cydonia Face – the real image seen by the spacecraft and the “processed” one with selectively
exaggerated vertical relief and a “horn” on the forehead that was released to the world media.
An extreme example of this would be where a (very long) URL was the third word in the first sentence of a paragraph. This would result in the first line of the paragraph having two words separated by one very large string of spaces and the URL on the next line.
Some instances of this effect could be fixed by placing the long word on its own line, but not all. The example above is one that could not, since the distorted text comes before the long word and is the first line of a paragraph.
The only global fix I can think of right now is to use short text (such as "click here") as a link to the URL, in place of the actual URL text. Like a link to a foot note, but when the reader clicks on this link text it is translated into a page at the URL address instead of into a page at a footnote address.
