That's only half the battle. The tricky bit is knowing the schema of the document type that you're editing. If I have my cursor "between" two paragraphs and I try to insert emphasis, it's got to know that either (1) I can't or (2) some additional markup (perhaps a containing para) is implied. And it has to do this in a way that users don't find totally annoying or totally inexplicable. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | All things are contingent.
