I suggest a different approach: upgrade tidy to know about processing instructions, and allow the passing of the open and close delimiters in the config file. For XML and XHTML, the delimiters are <? and ?> For RCS SGML (i.e., the default), the delimiters are <? and > For HTML, there are no delimiters For HTML as allowed by some servers for server-side include, the delimiters are <!-- # and --> For ASP and JSP, the delimiters are <% and %> Processing instructions are a good thing: they allow embedded messages targeted at distinct processing-phases. Server-side includes are just processing instructions: they don't use <? and ?> because HTML is a delivery format and has (until XHTML) rather shied away from document construction issues. But the delimiter issue is secondary to the functionality. Rick Jelliffe
