At 11:27a +0100 08/16/2000, Dave J Woolley didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus: >If there is any way of achieving this in SGML >(unfortunately the specs are not free, and I don't >have a business need to buy them), it would be >with "<?". Commented out material does not exist >at all as far as the parser is concerned.

Ah, but "<%" is for server-side parsing, not client-side. FileMaker's CDML uses "[FMP-*]" -- it all gets stripped before reaching the client anyway. -Walter
