Markup being rather regular when formatted lends itself to scanning by eye at least in the structures. YeOldeRightMissing Quote is the one that is hard to spot and for some reason is almost epidemic. Of course, taking away minimization helped for eyeballing it in many cases. Am I the only one who doesn't like fully endtagged samples in texts? I realize people like to copy them and online it makes some sense, but in a printed text, a deeply nested example takes up a lot of space and as much as half of it can be the end tags de-nesting.

Before the Philipines and India got so good at marking up data, we ran a reasonably sized team of people who cleaned up the anomalies left over from programmatic conversion. We always had plenty of structured editors inhouse, but the vast majority of people found themselves using their favourite ASCII editor anyway. Even for CALS tables, there were a number of people who felt that this was a more productive approach. -- Regards, Marcus Carr email: mrc@a... ___________________________________________________________________ Allette Systems (Australia) www: http://www.allette.com.au ___________________________________________________________________ "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Einstein ------------------------------------------------------------------ The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To unsubscribe from this elist send a message with the single word "unsubscribe" in the body to: xml-dev-request@l...
