Instead of: <li><q>Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps.</q><br /> -- <cite>William Hazlitt</cite></li> Consider: <li><q>Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps.</q><br /> (William Hazlitt)</li> Reads equally good, if not better. Bibliographic references are a topic of its own, and it is not going to be solved with the CITE element alone. Bibliography is a form of a database while hTml is mostly about text. The best HTML approximation to a list of bibliographical references is a table, except that tables tend to be unreadable when they are too wide. You could also use <A HREF="urn:ISBN:." ><CITE >A brief history of time</CITE ></A > and let the UA figure out the details. Removing the default style from CITE is too fragile: using the style attribute makes the code messy and using a class will not survive copy-paste. Chris
