Sorry Charles but Word is designed to produce HTML, no quote is valid.

In order to be XML the Quote marks are required. No quote marks means it is not a well-formed XML document. Reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-common-syn What Jeff says below is correct for SGML languages such as HTML versions prior to XHTML, but as far as I know Word is meant to produce XML. cheers Chaals On Mon, 15 Oct 2001, Heather Swayne wrote: FYI... "Remember that "bug" we found while talking to the W3C's accessibility committee when they visited a while back that pertained to dropping the quotes around the longdesc attribute. Turns out it's not a bug. Quotes are only required if the value contains a space and the string we tested with was "foo" which doesn't contain any spaces." - Jeff (Microsoft Word Program Manager) Heather Swayne P.S. this e-mail was written using voice dictation technology so please excuse any "voice mistakes" -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
