Hi,
The validating tools could assume that the end of a paragraph closes the
tagged text. There is RTF markup that indicates that.

Great point Ann.

I tend to agree with you on the tags. However,--because I am lazy--I would
prefer to see .h1 instead of <h1>, because that's one less character to
mess
up. What about the tag endings (</h1> to end a heading 1 section.) Would
these end tags be necessary?

Yesterday someone (I think it was Jim) posted a link to mark down codes.
Though this is interesting, I found it too confusing. Sorry Jim.

Just my take on all this.
Bob
