Yes, I was aiming at that sort of generality.  Putting bold text in the
middle of plain text counts too.

I was thinking of the "put a transparent hollow object around it" method.

Ha ha, well that was a big "maybe" I said there.  Mostly because to really
know how well I answered I'd need to know more exactingly what is in POV-Ray
to be sure of my answers.  15 might be more accurate.

I'm waiting for the official (non-beta) release, although I might
use it for this round of the IRTC (for a media sampling feature).

Hmm, 9 for the first test, 16 for the second.... (and two points for something I
did for the first time last week).

Oh, I thought maybe it was a general macro for DNA following a curve. I
was gonna use it in my IRTC entry, but I've changed my subject now, on
advice from my brother. Which reminds me; I have a lot of work to do!
(and less than a month to do it in!)
Thanks anyways!

Damn, I score between a 20 and a 25. Some questions I give myself half
points for.

Well, I had to make up my own questions so that I could get at least few
points AND brag  like other people ;-)
