Our cascading style sheets are still under development as we have to meet requirements set by another department of the Canadian Government. As they are still setting the standards that we have to comply with...we are awaiting their regulations that we have to meet....It's coming but...for now I am trying to at least make these pages accessible with what I have to work with. I got the idea of using the <pre> tag from my U.S. Social Security Admin. (our U.S. equivalent) see example http://www.ssa.gov/international/Agreement_Texts/grk_agt.html As you can see on our site legal agreements of this nature have a lot of clauses that have to be indented to be similar in format to the actual agreement. http://www.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/isp/internat/countries/aut-c1-e.shtml An good example of the type of formatting for our agreements can be found at: http://www.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/isp/internat/countries/atg-a1-e.pdf But of course we have to have the equivalent in HTML as well.

Why would they be impossible to format without using <blockquote>? I'm confused. If they are block quotations, then they should be marked up using <blockquote>. If they are not, then they should not be marked up using <blockquote>. If you need to, say, indent sections of text, then you should use Cascading Style Sheets to produce that indentation effect. The <pre> tag really should be avoided in most cases. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Tel +1 949-567-7006 ________________________________________ ACCESSIBILITY IS DYNAMIC.
