: But are you sure that you put before and after bolded text? Yes. : The usual SGML markup closes with , not . That's SGML (and HTML). Like other dtp software, QXP uses the same code to cancel an attribute. But, additionally, QXP'sattribute is equivalent to ≪mdnm≫. So a complex macro to replace ≪mdbo≫ ... ≪mdnm≫ pairs with ... is unnecessary. When working on files converted from QXP to ascii, some means of converting ... to ≪mdbo≫ ... ≪mdnm≫ would be called for. But that wasn't the question. --ann ie ========================== annie fisher
