XML allows this. You can define any legal XML string in the entity declaration. In the case of your parameter section you will have to deal with escaping < and > as they are parsed as XML tokens without. The link I included references this, albeit in the obscure language of a specification document. Perhaps visiting http://wwww.w3.org and locating a quick tutorial to get up to speed with XML, using James' config.xml as a test case would help? -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
