| If possible (and it is), I would expect parts of this sentence to be | rendered as <I>italic proportional <TT>italic monospaced and </I> | regular monospaced</TT>. Is NSN "guessing" I made a mistake when it | renders everything from <I> to </TT> in italic proportional? No its not, a good parser would take that as: <I>italic proportional <TT>italic monospaced and </TT></I> regular monospaced<!-- /TT error --> This is because I think SGML is order dependant, but if its not, please tell me what says it isn't... Alas not: the DTD says that end-tags are compulsory on I and TT, so you can't have the </I> implying the end of TT. You _could_ design it otherwise, I suppose... ///Peter
