My understanding was that <strong> and <em> were the alternative, no? As I've mentioned before, I believe that <b> and <i> are inappropriate in both xhtml/ and xhtml-1_1/ for any markup of db.titles (blockquote-title, for example). Transforming other instances into strong and em seems appropriate, but will be tricky in the html2xhtml.xsl. """ The following HTML elements specify font information.

If you feel that the stylesheets should be changed, please do so for 1.76.1 and clarify the change for this bug reporter https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2873153&group_id=21935&atid=373747 Keith --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
