That sir, is a minor inconvenience. In my experience, conversions tend to fall in one of two directions:

A) The converter doesn't even try to intelligently merge paragraphs into a single line to be wrapped up on display and you either end up with a horribly narrow display or with single words from the end of lines orphaned onto their own line.
B) It tries and fails. The end result that every paragraph not broken up by a section header gets merged into one horrific blob.

Either way the centered/split headers and footers you create get mangled.

P.S. We seem to be playing the same video games. I just noticed the Borderlands stuff in star-crossed.
