converting text to HTML. For this reason, avoid using horizontal text scaling other than
100%.

Choosing Text Sizes

Since HTML is restricted to only seven different text sizes, it is a good idea to use only
these in your documents. These are the point sizes commonly used by browsers: 9, 10,
12, 14, 18, 24, 36. If you use these sizes in your documents, the resulting Web pages
will look very similar to the original document. If you use different sizes than these, the
closest size will be substituted and the Web page will look different than the original
document.

Do not use tiny text (smaller than 9 points)
There are several good reasons to avoid using tiny text:

1. it is illegible on the screen,
2. browsers only display text at 9 points or greater,
3. Terry Morse Myrmidon converts tiny text to 9 points which requires more space and
   alter the document layout,
4. tiny text causes round-off errors that may result in too many or too few spaces being
   output.

For all these reasons, converting tiny text is not recommended.

Subscript and Superscript Text

Most applications automatically increase the line spacing when a line contains
subscript/superscript, but some--Microsoft Word for one--do not. Terry Morse
Myrmidon can correctly convert subscript and superscript text, but only if the lines of
text are not too close together. If a line below is too close to the current line, it's
impossible to tell the difference between subscript on the current line and superscript on
the line below. If you find that subscript or superscript text is not being properly
converted, simply increase the space between the lines.
