In the case of XML, it would probably make it impossible to parse a document without the DTD, which is one of the primary diffferences between XML and SGML. Your change is not going to happen. <style> elemsnts are preferred over style attributes. Style attributes are a pragmatic way of dealing with people converting from font face. Some other things that say make me think that you are treating HTML as tag soup, rather than a structured language. -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS.
