But given a certain SGML document instance it still did not give *me* a clear idea of how the grove is organised. I had to go over the sgml property set line by line making notes and drawing pictures showing the dependencies and parent-child relationships. Only after going over it several times I felt I had some understanding of the global structure of groves. This helped, at least for me. I'm not saying that this particular section is badly written in the dsssl specification, on the contrary it is a carefully written section. What I'm trying to point out is that perhaps the contents of the sgml property set is not that easy. Therefore, one cannot expect to understand the grove concept after going through it only once. No matter how nice one presents the sgml property set, it will never be an easy piece. pieter -- Pieter Rijken E-mail: pieter.rijken@xxxxxx CMG Telecommunications and Utilities B.V.
