RE: Repeating data after applying style to SGML document

[Dan Hable <DHable@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That was the problem. Thanks! I'm still having problems with the
following code from my DSSSL stylesheet:

(element digest
  (make sequence
    (make paragraph font-family-name: titileFont
      font-size: 20pt
      start-indent: 0pt
      line-spacing: 26pt
      quadding: 'center
      (literal: "My Digest"))
    (make simple-page-sequence)))

When I use the following code, I get the line "My Digest" running into
the next line of text like so:

 My DigestBy Dan Hable

and then the document continues on as normal. I think I'm formatting
everything correctly in this stylesheet but I can't be quite sure. Can
anyone please point me in the right direction? All I want to do is add
the title My Digest and then continue with the document as normal.
Thanks in Advance!
