That wouldn't be necessary normally - C and C++ are sufficiently far
removed from English that it's rarely difficult to tell the
difference!!!!

HTML would actually probably be a better option that RTF simply because
it can at least be read without NEEDING a browser... RTF makes a mess.

But what's wrong with plain text, anyway??? Most people who post in HTML
change swiftly back to plain text as soon as they get flamed!
