Osamu: I didn't receive your earlier message. Did you get a bounce ? Also, you've misoperated the BTS and failed to do the reassignment but never mind since I think you're wrong :-).
You write: > You are using short hand notation of SGML. If I use my human text > parser, I think your first <tag/ line is expanded to nsgmls spec.sgml produces this output ACOMPACT IMPLIED (TAGLIST (TAG (TT -if (VAR -condition )VAR )TT )TAG (TAG (TT -elif (VAR -condition )VAR )TT )TAG (TAG (TT -else )TT )TAG (TAG (TT -fi )TT )TAG (ITEM (P -Lines following [etc] which is exactly what I would have expected. The DTD for a taglist has this to say: <!ELEMENT taglist - - (tag+,item)+> That is, an item may be preceded by one or more tags. Your supposition about the behaviour of the processing system may be correct but that behaviour is wrong. In any case, under no circumstances should output just vanish.
