The way we use it in the Elsevier journal DTDs is as follows: accents are always over/under/through one symbol or character. Overline and underline can be over multiple characters. Default ornament is a line; other possibilities are ^ ~ { [ and a few more. There are also styles: all ornaments can be bold, some can double (line, [ () some can triple, be dashed, dotted. I can provide more details if people wish. Nico ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Nico A.F.M.
