I think this is an irrelevant point. A parser creates its own parse tree. A parser that puts newlines in the parse tree (presumably as text nodes) will have them, and this will in no way affect a parser that does not put them there. THe parse tree is an in-memory structure. In any case, ``Jane WebMeister'' is probably a human and has no need to look inside the software at the parse tree. Lee
