I'm finally beginning to read parts of a DTD, and from this: <!ELEMENT table - - (caption?, tr+)> <!ELEMENT tr - O (th|td)*> <!ELEMENT (th|td) - O %body.content I see that the only elements within a table are caption (optional) and row, the only elements within a row are head and data, and in head and data is %body.content (which includes a number of things. The cap "O"s indicate that no closing tag is required on TR, TH, or TD (but beware that NSN needs closing tags in nested tables!). So, the answer is, YES, the TR is required. David Perrell
