Note - in the centre of the loops, markup has swallowed my increment operator - should be "iTotal ++;"

Same story for all the for-loop incrementors.

There may be other manglings I haven't noticed.

[edit] I've fixed up the missing "++" operators - let me know if you notice any other manglings.

hubski's markdown implementation is really bad for posting code because it still parses what's inside the code rather than outputting it verbatim. You STILL have to escape special symbols ilke + inside code too. It's very frustrating.

Agreed - not great for code, or for poetry / song-lyrics. I had to bung in two spaces at the front of every line to convince it to use a monospace font.

There ought to be a way to say "don't format this text at all please".
