So whose going to volunteer to go round to all the machines on the Internet that have SGML validators, editors, MS Word+IA, etc, etc and update their HTML DTDs for their administrators? Without some force behind it (IETF, W3C, de facto industry standard or whatever), your hacked DTD is likely to only exist on a very few machines and everyone else's tools will still eat your non-standard HTML. That's life. Tatty bye, Jim'll -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Jon "Jim'll" Knight, Researcher, Sysop and General Dogsbody, Dept.
