Some HTML editors automate the > process for <B> and <I> but not for <STRONG> or <EM>! Then why not have: <A> <B> <C> <D> .... easier to type. If you use ASCII text is even more easier because you only need to use * or some other character. Of course, <A>, <B>, <C>, <D>, is meaningless, but so is <B> and <I> because they don't convey structural information. Not that I necessarily think they should be deprecated. -- Steve Cheng elmert@ipoline.com http://www.ipoline.com/~elmert/
