Shouldn't be somehow possible to count the embedded topic tags in the topics container and perl print Topic . ($count == 1) ? : s or something like that should be doable, shouldn't it? Yes it would work for English and most European languages, but please read info ngettext to learn why handling of plural forms cannot be done this way. Denis

Btw., the layout of the topics doesn't look too well to me, I would rather even say it kind of sucks. I am thinking of working out a patch for it, though. Currently it seems like the speakers form their own paragraph and the topic titles doesn't really belong to it. Maybe a (invisible) table around it would suffice, like this: Current: #v+ Name: Russell Coker Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Previous Talks: http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/talks.html Languages: English Location: Melbourne, Australia Topics: Security Enhanced (SE) Linux Name: Bdale Garbee Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Previous Talks: http://www.gag.com/~bdale/talks Languages: English Location: Colorado, USA Topics: History of Debian Introduction to Debian Porting Debian Debian and HP #v- Proposed: #v+ Name: Russell Coker Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Previous Talks: http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/talks.html Languages: English Location: Melbourne, Australia Topic: Security Enhanced (SE) Linux Name: Bdale Garbee Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Previous Talks: http://www.gag.com/~bdale/talks Languages: English Location: Colorado, USA Topics: History of Debian Introduction to Debian Porting Debian Debian and HP #v- Or maybe right-align the th part and valign center the Topic(s) part.
