Good advice.  If this doesn't work, we've got problems, and you should
report them.

The style changed between issues 5:1 and 5:2.  Instead of section headings 
being boxed as they are now, they were preceded and followed by a line of
spaced-out asterisks, and a similar line was used to separate articles
when the new one started in the middle of a page.  (If the exact coding
is wanted, I think I can probably find it or recreate it.)
