That's life. Well, yes. So? I'm don't know *anything* about SGML syntax and philosophy - I want to make this clear. But nsgmls and DTDs in my machine serve one purpose: to make sure I write correct HTML according to *MY* rules. Specifically, my rules are HTML 3.2 + CSS1, and by CSS1 I mean CLASS and all the other tags and attributes that were missing from HTML 3.2. I don't mind if that's not a W3C Recommendation; It's as backward compatible with older browsers as HTML 3.2 is, and newer browsers support it in full. I don't want to use HTML Pro because it's got loads and loads of stuff that I *DON'T* want to use. And I also write a lot of Greek web pages. So, essentially, my rules are HTML 3.2 + CSS1 with ISO-8859-7. It's not a standard. But if you cut and paste a couple of DTDs (which I *don't* know how to do) then you can get this done. So I *DO* hope someone comes up with these "combination" DTDs. Then I can design pages as I want them and also be able to validate them. -- Stephanos "Pippis" Piperoglou - http://users.hol.gr/~spip/index.html I've never finished anything I began, but this time I'm
