Hi,

Another way to create diagrams with p3 is to create a simple text file that contains the FEN of each position you want a diagram of. Something like this:

2rrOVXk/pp3pp1/1nnqbN1p/3pN3/2pP4/2P3Q1/PPB4P/R4RK1
8/7p/5k2/5p2/p1p2P2/Pr1pPK2/1P1R3P/8
5rk1/1ppb3p/p1pb4/6q1/3P1p1r/2P1R2P/PP1BQ1P1/5RKN
r1bq2rk/pp3pbp/2p1p1pQ/7P/3P4/2PB1N2/PP3PPR/2KR4

Now you can drag & drop (or pass) this file, which we will call fors.txt, on p3 and it will create an Html file that contains the diagrams. The diagrams are constructed from Html code and the GIF piece images -- you don't actually get a 'picture file' (i.e. JPG or single GIF) but you can easily copy/paste the Html of any diagram you want into your existing Html page. Just remember to add a link to the CSS.
Notice that you can use the characters 'OXV' for the special marked squares.
