I hope I am not boring the list members with a discussion that is maybe off-topic, but I want to get a point clearer.

I suggested to use <p class="heading"> in place of hN, because this allow to treat all headings in the same way, ant to process them according with the context. But, you could use h1 for all headings, provided the CSS process them according with the context. What I dislike in the use of h1, h2,..., h6 is that it hardcodes the level of the division (section) containing the heading. And another point is that there "only" six levels, while you can recurse div inclusions as far as you wish. > I'd be interested in hearing why OpenJade might be a better solution, > but... IMO, Tidy is a tool to tidy up and "beautify" HTML/XHTML files. Openjade is a tool to process SGML/XML files and output others formats, and it has backends to transform SGML/XML documents, this is to modify their structure. If you agree, we can discuss this point off list, or join on the dsssl list ------------------------------------------------------ Jany Quintard | Et les enfants de choeur IBM Paris Laboratory | Branlant du chef, opinent Tel : 33 (0)2 51 16 40 36 | G.
