If a stylesheet is provided. In XML, there's no real difference between <table> <row><entry>A cell!</entry></row> </table> and <foo> <bar><baz>A cell!</baz></bar> </foo> These examples create congruent markup, with different names for the objects. A stylesheet could create a visual table equally well from either one; it's just more likely that you'll find a public stylesheet for the more common table markup schemes. -Chris -- <!NOTATION SGML.Geek PUBLIC "-//Anonymous//NOTATION SGML Geek//EN"> <!ENTITY crism PUBLIC "-//O'Reilly//NONSGML Christopher R.
