Sure, that's the case at the high end, but a lot of people can recognise crud at the low end. A few years ago I saw an article in the paper that was honoring a war hero who as a pilot, had both his legs blown off but still got the plane down, saving his crew. In the space of about 10 lines of text, the paper had managed to hyphenate legend to leg-end not once but twice. (Once for each stump?) I'm no sub-editor, but on my worst day I'd spot a small problem with that... -- 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 *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
