As most of you are aware, I have been posting a series of recipes to
the net over the past few months.  These recipes were originally set
up for phototypesetting and included controls that generate nice
symbols for 1/2, 1/3, and the like.  I have not changed these, but when
the recipes are formatted for the net, nroff is not smart enough
to put a space around them.  So measurements like

	2 1/2 cups    come out looking like     21/2 cups.

I hope that nobody has done anything too extravagant because of these
unusual measurements; they are always understandable from context
(and a little thought will give you an unambiguous way to parse them).

Bon appetit,

Charles
