OK, it's up . .
. . linked from the top of the recipe list and from the bottom of each recipe (click on "U.S. Measure"). Engineers with anal retentive problems be warned - there are deliberate inaccuracies.

"deliberate inaccuracies"? Still seems over-accurate to me.
I'd round your 1/3, 1/4, and 1/8 cup from "83-cl", "63-cl", and "31-cl" to 80 cl, 60 cl, and 30 cl, respectively. And in practice, I suspect your 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 teaspoon would become 2 cl, 1 cl, and 1/2 cl, in stead of "2.5-cl", "1.3-cl", and "0.6-cl", most of the time. (Unless it's something *really* sensitive -- like, say, some very strong spice in a small batch of a dish that's supposed to taste only moderately of that spice.)
So who has the "anal retentive problems" here, Andrew -- me, or you? :-)
OK, only to prove to you that it's still me: WTF is up with the hyphens, in "xx-cl"? What new-fangled linguistic theory says that there should be hyphens there?!?
Otherwise: Very kool, thanks! (I'll try the chakshi-- shackshu-- Tunisian breakfast thingy some time soon. :-)

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]

Yeah, your right on those . .
. . and I'll round 'em off (still refining the chart - just added termperatures).

What, does General Motors have its own temperatures?
OK, OK, I figured it out: It's "Gas Mark", right? (Whateverthefuck that is.)
But honestly, General Motors was what I first thought of when I saw it.

Definition isn't really required . .
. . since it wouldn't mean anything to anyone who wouldn't know what it means, but since you've ruined the annoyance value I guess I'll have to define it now.
I presume Gas Mark is a British thing, since I've only seen it in a couple of older cookbooks published in England.

Aaargh - am I blind, or what???
Like, I didn't happen to notice you're off by a factor of ten?!?
500 cl would be 5 l, not 0.5... And so on and so on, all the way through. But I didn't notice that on the cup/litre level; actually, only the tablespoon/teaspoon measurements stayed spinning in the back of my head. ("Hmm, wasn't that unit wrong?")
Ya gotta either divide all your metric amounts by ten -- or, the easier solution, change all occurrences of "cl" to "ml".
If you planned this as a test of how "unintuitive" metric units are, Andrew, then you can crow over your vindication now! :-)
Otherwise, if you just screwed up a little, then so forsure did I! (My excuse is, it was 2 AM my time when I read your page -- what's yours? :^> )

Well - that's what happens . .
. . when I'm paying more attention to the form than the content (isn't page layout with nested tables fun?). Thanks for noticing. Will fix immediately.

Don't use nested tables then.
That's what CSS is for.

This should let you easily change the layout of all the recipes at once. I think it's easier to work with the ingredients like this than with the huge columnar td tags you have as well, YMMV.
Note: untested in IE.
