Thanks for the feedback. Now, what to call it? drama? (what if it's a comedy?) play? script?
I think the part level sounds intriguing, section makes sense. Both? Preference? Any additional markup needed to support it? We intentionally left out dramatis personae and stagedir, as other markup could be used for the same purpose.

I think it's needed. <drama role='....'/> Then what level to put it at? Multiple? sect1..? section? Suggest higher than para. One more for the formal block grouping? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
