These are all interesting ideas and will surely help in my planning for this.

Thanks all

Mary

Hi, Mary:



I think, your decision might depend on the complexity of algorithms.
We did consider using <code> and rejected that approach because the
<code>'s content model is not rich enough for our needs. We use
<table-wrap id="algo1" content-type="algorithm" position="float"> for
displayed algorithms and <table-wrap id="algo2"
content-type="algorithm" position="anchor"> for in-text algorithms.
There are business rules related to id's, labels, captions, and
content of algorithms that are checked via Schematron. We use
<table-wrap>, rather than <fig>, because we make full use of alignment
mechanisms and other table facilities to deal properly with the
elaborate nature of algorithms published in OSA journals.

Good luck,
