Hi Dave, The facility to convert old-fashioned FONT tags etc. to STYLE in HTML Tidy is brilliant, and has certainly helped this novice who was fighting with the STYLE syntax - thank you! I find the font size percentages that are substituted for the old <FONT SIZE="+1"> etc. don't accurately reflect how my browser (Netscape 4.7 on a Macintosh) treats the old integer values: is this a symptom of the PC/Macintosh and Netscape/Explorer incompatibilities? There are some slightly surprising omissions from these "stylising" conversions though: Colour and background image data, traditionaly added to the <BODY> tag, can now be encoded within the STYLE definitions. <B> and <U> tags can also be encoded in STYLE, but Tidy doesn't. Would it be a reasonable request that you add these to the list of extra features to implement on a rainy afternoon? (We *do* get plenty of those in England at this time of year :-) TTFN, Peter Home: Barney.Wol@noctua.demon.co.uk Work: Peter_Vince@yahoo.co.uk PGP id = 0x332B72C0 PGP fingerprint: 3535 9AD9 C0EA 3606 0DE4 3811 422E 10B4 332B 72C0
