RE: unwelcome SPAN in text output

Gentlemen,
The problem is solved: it turns out (as Michael
surmised) that my IDE -- Stylus Studio -- is at fault,
that the processors are indeed blameless. The reason
the microsoft processor works is that it is launched
as an external process, and its output was not mangled.

I upgraded to the latest version (see note from Ivan
below) & it works like a charm.

Many thanks. This forum is great!

Arthur,

Are you using Stylus Studio to run your stylesheet ?
If yes what version ?
I am aware that an old version (before 103q) had this problem.
You can download the update for free at
