Hi Eric You mean where, for example, I have put <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> click ... rather than &LMB; click ... ? It has been done deliberately, because &LMB; would get expanded to <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> mouse button click ... which IMHO is a rather ponderous way of expressing things in en_US, especially when it occurs many many times in the text. I seem to remember that this point was raised soon after the &LMB; etc. entities were introduced, and some translators also raised potentiol problems with the use of &LMB; and its friends. But, I wasn't aware that doing this leads to markup problems and more complicated translation, perhaps you could explain this more fully so that we can arrive at an optimum solution. -- Pam R: Don't put off until tomorrow what you can leave to the day after.
