David, I am not deaf. Indents do have no structural meaning. And likely have no place in a content markup language. They are presentation, which can mark a significant break in paragraphs. My initial paragraphs do have a meaning, they are paragraphs intended as an overview of the following paragraphs. So I create and element <p class=initial> so I may have the opportunity to mark them by separate presentation or search for them if we ever have an intelligent search engine. In the same way I might create a <p class=notice> element (because that is what sub classing does) to mark a paragraph containing important information. I am not interested in indents in HTML. My headings are mostly negative indented but that has nothing to do with their meaning. I do not care whether I indent my paragraphs or paint them red, I want them marked for their content so I may search for or present them like any other interesting element -sk >INDENTS HAVE NO STRUCTURAL MEANING IN STANDARD HTML > _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ Steve Knoblock _/ City Gallery - History of Photography http://www.webcom.com/cityg _/ Member NSA http://www.3d-web.com/nsa/sw.html
