[Document] HTML 4.0 Specification W3C Recommendation, revised on 24-Apr-1998 [URI] http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424 [Download package] html40.tgz [File in package] ./intro/sgmltut.html [Comments] I don't want to look as pedantic, but for clarity of definition you should add the '-' or 'not' operator to the content model definition description list. Yes, you already do provide an example below the list. 3.3.3 Element declarations Content model definitions [section with suggested addition included] <p>The content model of an element is specified with the following syntax: <dl> <dt><strong>( ... )</strong> <dd>Delimits a group. <dt><strong>A | B</strong> <dd>Either A or B occurs, but not both. <dt><strong>A , B</strong> <dd>Both A and B occur, in that order. <dt><strong>A & B</strong> <dd>Both A and B occur, in any order. <dt><strong>A?</strong> <dd>A occurs zero or one time. <dt><strong>A*</strong> <dd>A occurs zero or more times. <dt><strong>A+</strong> <dd>A occurs one or more times. <!-- suggested addition follows: --> <dt><strong>-(A)</strong> <dd>The occurence of A is prohibited. <!-- suggested addition ends. --> </dl> [*] The readability of your document is really high! The recommended definition of HTML-4.0 is very precise and understandable. Kind regards. HvS :-)
