Once upon a time Benjamin C. W. Sittler shaped the electrons to say... >A style and semantics language like dsssl could solve this, at least for >a known DTD. Each DTD can refer to a dsssl program which renders it. Something else that has never been answered in any satisfactory manner - An author uses "HTML 3", Netscape, M$IE, and Bob's Browser markup tags in their documents. None is a superset of all of the others. What is the DTD? And "Well the user shouldn't do that" is a bullshit answer, because in the real world this *is* the case a great deal of the time. Good browsers deal with this fine - they just don't use tags that they don't understand. And that is most browsers I've ever used. No need for a DTD. A pure SGML browser would choke on this with no DTD to follow. -MZ -- Although I work for Livingston Enterprises Technical Support, I alone am responsible for everything contained herein.
