Good point.  It would be bad if someone posted a 300 position suite and the
script put in a diagram for each one.  But also I want to make it easy so that
new readers wouldn't constantly be asking "how do I make the diagram appear in
my messages?"

Since using < and > won't work properly, how about if I make it something like:

[D]3q3r/3b1pk1/3pB1p1/2r1n1P1/pp1NPN2/5P2/PPPQ4/1K1R4 w - - 0 25

with the [D] instructing the script to insert the diagram.

Also I will need that set of piece gifs we talked about.  I was thinking around
32x32 pixels (or something close to that) for each piece would be good.  Do you
have a set with 26 separate images?  (white pieces on light squares, white
pieces on dark squares, black pieces on light squares, black pieces on dark
squares, and a light and dark empty square).  I could also use a set of white
and black pieces with transparent backgrounds and just use the table cell
background coloring to make the light and dark squares.  This might be faster
because there would be fewer different images to load.
