I would prefer C because after all most of the tags are enclosing text of one form or another, so TEXT is not a very helpful name. Character-level formatting as opposed to paragraph-level formatting seems clearer. But perhaps that is my FrameMaker background coming through. I think we will see a lot of documents in the future using <p classo> and <c classºr> type markup. -- Chris Lilley, Technical Author +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Manchester and North HPC Training & Education Centre | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Computer Graphics Unit, Email: Chris.Lilley@mcc.ac.uk | | Manchester Computing Centre, Voice: +44 161 275 6045 | | Oxford Road, Manchester, UK.
