Unfortunately, this is not valid XHTML as <p> isn't allowed inside <ol>. For a moment I thought there was an easy solution when I was looking for a difficult one ;-) However, this could be quite a good solution for this problem - if it's acceptable to the HTML working group. Conceptually one doesn't find paragraphs in lists - only list-items. One could argue that something that isn't a list-item within a list should be treated as if it weren't in the list, regards formatting at least. Thanks for your reply though, Dave. > Geoffrey E.
