So, if you say (make element gi: "br") , it will be treated like (make element gi: "br" (process-children)) To avoid this, add an empty sosofo as content: (make element gi: "br" (empty-sosofo)) However, in this particular example, you'd better use an empty element, since HTML declares BR as EMPTY. A more complete example would be: (element foo (sosofo-append ; Or (make sequence if you like (process-children) (make empty-element gi: 'br) ...)) (The make expression is described in §12.4.3 in the DSSSL spec.) Best Regards, /Peter Nilsson -- '(#\P . (#\e . (#\t . (#\e .
