yes... it's in the html as

    <dt>^A-i</dt>

    <dd>Like their 'i', 'o', and 'O' counterparts, but any
    autoindent</dd>

    <dt>^A-o</dt>

    <dd>or cmode setting is ignored for the duration of this
    insert.</dd>

    <dt>^A-O</dt>

But changing that to

    <dt>^A-i<br>
    ^A-o<br>
    ^A-O</dt>

    <dd>Like their 'i', 'o', and 'O' counterparts, but any
    autoindent or cmode setting is ignored for the duration of this
    insert.  These are most useful when pre-formatted text is being

gave me this in "lynx", and I probably did something to make it look ok.

   ^A-i
          ^A-o
          ^A-O
          Like  their  'i', 'o', and 'O' counterparts, but any autoindent
          or  cmode  setting  is ignored for the duration of this insert.
          These  are most useful when pre-formatted text is being pasted,
          as when using a mouse.

though I see now that it works with "links" (what I settled on using for
converting tables, etc):

   ^A-i
   ^A-o
   ^A-O
           Like their 'i', 'o', and 'O' counterparts, but any autoindent or
           cmode setting is ignored for the duration of this insert. These
           are most useful when pre-formatted text is being pasted, as when
           using a mouse.

(html isn't a formatting tool...)
