Guidelines for Submission

If you would rather submit your article in HTML format, that is perfectly acceptible and in some ways preferable.

Anytime an article is modified and resubmitted to me I have to go in and insert the HTML by hand. This is a time drain that I would like to avoid in the future. Thanks for your understanding.

SAMPLE ENTRY:

**Abstract**
(A brief description of the article. This is not optional.)

Section Title

{Note: The number of "-" signs beneath "Section Title" is equal to the number of characters in that line. This markup denotes a Subhead. Subheads are not optional.}

Also called ~Tol Eressëa~ in the fairy speech. The Gnomes called it ~Dor Faidwen~, i.e. the Land of Release [1]_. The origin of the word ~Eressëa~ is not known but it means "lonely." etc. etc. etc.

You get the idea...

If you have an questions about setext, I will be preparing a list of web sites which offer descriptions of the markup language and its purpose.
