<quote> tags were occuring inside <p> tags, which they are not allowed to do. Initially <quote> tags are the only thing I need to move out of <p>. So: <body> <!-- case 1 --> <p>text<p> <!-- case 2 --> <quote> text <p>text</p> text <span>text</span> </quote> <!-- case 3 --> <p><quote>text</quote></p> <!-- case 4 --> <p> text <quote>text</quote> text <span>text</quote> text </p> </body> should become: <body> <!-- case #1 --> <p>text</p> <!-- case #2 --> <quote> text <p>text</p> text <span>text</span> </quote> <!-- case #3 --> <quote>text</quote> <!-- case #4 result #1 --> <p>text</p> <quote>text</quote> <p> text <span>text</span> text </p> </body> I'm not sure if the last p actually turns into three p's: <!-- case #4 result #2 --> <p>text</p> <p><span>text</span></p> <p>text</p> Result #1 would be best, but result #2 this is also acceptable. I'll check tomorrow what is actually happening. In any case, it validates against the DTD used and the result is working as expected. -Jostein 2009/10/21 Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Jostein, > > At 08:33 AM 10/21/2009, you wrote: >> >> Nice.
