What are you trying to do? XML may be the answer you are looking for but then again it might not be. xml is very good for generating multiple different formats of output from a base document, but is a rather tedious and roundabout way to do things if all you want is to get some well formed html. Docbook is not the only DTD out there, and now that schemas are moving in to the mainstream it's becoming trivial to generate new document types from legacy data schemas (programs that take an sql schema and deliver an xml schema are already available.) As far as being as picky as Javascript, any programming language is, it's the nature of the beast. > > blessedforest.org/cooperative.xml > > Ben > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > --- > Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.363 / Virus Database: 201 - Release Date: 5/21/2002 > http://www.efn.org/~laprice ( Community, Cooperation, Consensus http://www.opn.org ( Openness to serendipity, make mistakes http://www.efn.org/~laprice/poems ( but learn from them.(carpe fructus ludi)
