Re: The BBEdit User Guide, starting at page 222 (PDF page 243)

Thanks, Jim. That section of the BBEdit manual did shed some light. I
wouldn't have looked there for Tag Maker help.

The info in that section suggests two solutions: wrap my
no-parent-element pages in a block element, like a DIV, or add a
BBEdit-special include that declares the doc type, such as:
<!-- #bbpragma doctype="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
root_element="body" -->

My problem with the latter is that I'm the only one of my staff using
BBEdit, so I don't want to litter my pages with BBEdit-specific codes.
I  may have to add an extra DIV to the pages.

However, I was hoping that there was a way to make BBEdit allow Tag
Maker to work within my no-partent-tag SHTML pages. Better yet, I was
hoping to make BBEdit somehow see the includes. It's interesting --
Tag Maker doesn't throw an error until I add the server-side includes
to the file; until then, Tag Maker will work with a no-parent-element
page. So is BBEdit recognizing the SSI statements but I haven't told
BBEdit where to find them, or something?

thanks,
CC
