In that case I withdraw everything I have said, for I have no view about that. When best authoring practices are being discussed, then I'll urge that authors be told to either avoid q elements altogether, or to set the CSS quote property to none and type in quotation characters. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org This great college [Trinity], of this ancient university [Cambridge], has seen some strange sights.
