Since the content model of P includes Q but the content model of Q does not include P, that is not a problem ;-) Since you are talking of quoted material arranged in paragraphs, blockquote would be appropriate. A stylesheet could arrange for an open quote to be applied before each blockquote and a close quote to be appended to the last one (in CSS, using a special class to identify the last blockquote of that quoted section. Or you could surround the section with a div and generate the closing quote on that. -- Chris Lilley, W3C [ http://www.w3.org/ ] Graphics and Fonts Guy The World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/people/chris/ INRIA, Projet W3C chris@w3.org 2004 Rt des Lucioles / BP 93 +33 (0)4 93 65 79 87 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France
