The problem is there are hard returns everywhere, which tell WWST to stop for-
matting.  Hard spaces don't help either.

The trick I used, which worked reasonably well, was to do a replace of a space
for a space.  This would replace the internal representation so you'll have SOME
formatting capabilities.  It won't fix everything, but I doubt that is possible
anyway.

Hope this helps.
