If I delete all the newlines and spaces (aside from spaces around "=" signs) it works... Maybe there's some feature to ignore whitespace? <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 21, 2012 at 10:36 AM, Laurent <<a href="mailto:laurent.orseau@gmail.com" target="_blank">laurent.orseau@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">(replying to list) Thanks, that was a good idea, but conversion to unix format (I'm on linux) did not help unfortunately.

I tried adding "," after the pages, after the last "}", change {} to "", but no success. Do I use it incorrectly? (Plus I'd like to use it in slideshow, if anyone has something for that...)
