My goal is -automated- conversion of many existing HTML documents to XHTML, while taking advantage of XML to structure the relationship among headings. Nested headings are valid XML, but not XHTML: sorry, I should have caught that... but Tidy appears to be the right tool for the job. Both of the nested "div" suggestions work acceptably in w3c's Amaya browser -- thanks for the feedback. Conversion to "name"ed divs seems more direct than "class"ified paragraphs, but I may be missing some other advantage. The question now is whether either of these solutions could be incorporated into Tidy as an option?: <!-- Courtesy of P. T. Rourke --> <div name="sec1"><h1>First Order Heading</h1>="sec1.1"><h2>Second Order Heading</h2></div> or <!-- Courtesy of Jany Quintard (modified) --> <div> <p class="heading">First Order Heading</p> <p class="heading">Second Order Heading</p> </div> </div> I'd appreciate feedback on feasibility from anyone familiar with Tidy's source code? Thanks, Marc
