David, When I was managing a large collection of policy and instructional documents (where the authors of the original MS Word versions just loved numbered paragraphs) I used a H4 & P combo as suggested by Ron. I agree with him that, sematically, your DL method is less than optimal. You really should *describe* the document elements with your markup, not just use what allows pleasing appearance in some output media. This part of the discussions is off-topic though, so I don't think we can progress it here. webdesign-l is a place where you will get considered and practices opinions on the markup choices that could best suit your purpose, and which may also allow for styling the output in ways that satisfy your desire for a certain layout. http://www.webdesign-l.com/ -- Peter Williams ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
