Is there any difference between (#PCDATA), (#PCDATA)?, (#PCDATA)+ and (#PCDATA)* in an element content? I've just recently started to make myself familiar with the SGML background of HTML, so my picture of #PCDATA may be wrong, but I have the imagination that this refers to something of arbitrary length, which would mean that all four expressions would be equivalent. On the other hand, I have found there are HTML elements (TITLE, OPTION, TEXTAREA) that have (#PCDATA)* instead of simply (#PCDATA) as their content, which makes me suspect they are not quite the same. So, what's the right point of view? Holger ____ |__| / Holger // mailto:wahlen@ph-cip.uni-koeln.de ____ | |/|/ Wahlen // http://www.ph-cip.uni-koeln.de/~wahlen/
