>The FIG tag is a paragraph tag itself. >It implys the content is a paragraph on its own. >It cannot go into another paragragh like the IMG tag can. Yes, but *why*. There's no logical reason at all why a figure should be a separate paragraph. Wouldn't it be far better to _not_ have fig as an implicit paragraph and allow authors to explicitly denote a fig (ie.,within <p></p> ) if the semnatics of their document demand it. It seems best to keep entities as (logically) simple as possible and not place (il)logical constraints on them that can't be rolled back later. Or as William of Ockam had it: "Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem". regards -- Jon Wallis Senior Lecturer in Information Systems Engineering School of Computing & I.T., University of Wolverhampton, UK - WV1 1SB Tel/Fax +44 (0)1902 322203/322680 http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~cm1906 ------------Opinions are mine, not those of my employer--------------
