The HTML5 spec says of <pre>: "The pre element represents a block of preformatted text, in which structure is represented by typographic conventions rather than by elements." <pre> sounds ideal for both examples to me (in conjunction w/ the <address> element in the second example. It preserves the line breaks w/o adding any overhead markup to the mix. -- ----- Bryce Fields www.royalrodent.com "Do or do not. There is no try." -- Yoda
