Booth, David (HP Software - Boston) scripsit:

Or for that matter just "_". I *never* understood why that was
such a problem.
> I know you (or someone else) mentioned that publishers do not want to

> no different from other XML syntax that surrounds the original codes and
> must be parsed away to retrieve the original codes.
