The attack of the Rohirrim 2. Eowyn's fight with the witch king + this was already my favorite scene in the book + I really like Miranda Otto. 3. Peter Jackson being shot by Legolas - on DVD only He makes a really funny face when it happens. But in the end, no individual scenes matter but the film as a whole. Important actors in this film are: - @b{Elijah Wood} :: He plays Frodo - @b{Sean Austin} :: He plays Sam, Frodo's friend. I still remember him very well from his role as Mikey Walsh in @i{The Goonies}. #+end_src You'll have to insert normal @b{...} and @i{...} but they will be properly exported. Non-lisp source blocks are treated as @example/@end example in the exporter, as are fixed width blocks (although those escape any @-commands). Example blocks are exported as verbatim since those perform no transformation on the content within. > All the best, > Tom > > -- > T.S.
