Hi there I've encountered this behaviour a couple of times -- I have this::
<para>Q: asdf <xi:include ... /></para> I want to turn it into this:: <para><remark>asdf <xi:include ... /></remark></para> I can't cut'n'paste the text and the include at the same time, so I do first the one then the other (that's just an aside ;-p). Now I have:: <para>Q: <remark>asdf <xi:include ... /></remark></para> When I delete the 'Q: ' I end up with the situation shown in the attached screenshots: an empty text node before the <remark> starts. I have to backspace to join this paragraph with the previous, and then hit return to restore the paragraph break (may be a hassle if the previous element isn't a paragraph). Or I can close and reopen the document. I think it should be possible to delete a node like that by right-click delete or the delete key, and if it isn't going to be there after save/reopen, I don't think it should be there in the first place. -- jean . .. .... //\\\oo///\\
