Re: line up columns on monitor page

The artistic aesthetic is an idiosyncratic beast, sometimes best when arbitrarily imposed by 
the artist as opposed to being democratically decided by consensus.

I am sure Andrew will get around to "pretty printing" his output eventually.

But meanwhile... we wonder how hard it would be to write a browser based on WWWOFFLE?
Does anyone know of any open-source browsers?

Of course, a change in WWWOFFLE output format might then throw the browser parser off.
