Guessing: This is either a source document of text where "@" is some kind of markup indicating a keyword (so that keywords can be e.g. bolded in the output) or this is a snippet of code from some kind of Python-based HTML templating language where "@" is used to indicate Python keywords that need to be interpreted instead of static text. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "as long as we like the same operating system, things are cool." --piranha -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
