The extension works well enough for me, but I just have a minor quip:  
addHTML() seems to be ignoring any newlines I put in. Is there a way  
to get around this? I also can't figure out how to remove the  
"<p><br /></p>" on either side of the listing when it's included  
within a page. Is there a way to get around either of these things?

Thanks.
