Yep, exactly. It's a little Perl script I wrote for this purpose. So the raw pages contain self-defined non-HTML tags (like <NEW_PARAGRAPH>) which are parsed and replaced by the final page content (like <TABLE> or <DIV> etc.)...

I think I'll adopt the same technique: I've just discovered that my way of adding the navigation links to the pages (via JavaScript) hides all of them to the spiders, so that even if one of my pages is indexed, the bot isn't able to follow the structure - because it doesn't execute the scripts.
Anyway, by the way, have fun!

Thank you for the link, Zomis, I've heard something about, but didn't find a good reference yet.
I'll pull out JS anyway - at least for the navigation - as seeing the pages with JS turned off "orphanizes" them to normal users' eyes.
Anyway, by the way, have fun!

Of course, not all servers support it...
