They | could define: <FONT>, <COLOR>, <MARQUEE>, or whatever they want. --- But if the DTD included tags like product-id, product-vendor, product-price, etc., then indexing tools could pick up the commercial parts of the advertisement and build an appropriate super catalog of the net, for instance. So, I don't think PDF or RTF would be a better choice - most advertisers want their data accessible andmeaningful tagging is the key to intelligent accessibility. scott -- scott preece motorola/mcg urbana design center 1101 e. university, urbana, il 61801 phone: 217-384-8589 fax: 217-384-8550 internet mail: preece@urbana.mcd.mot.com
