I don't think your glibness is justified. There is a legitimate appeal to this notion. The fact is that MANY APIs can be completely and adequately described by HTML. It provides a very natural separation of presentation and behavior. Without style sheets, you can describe simple APIs very compactly and let the renderer do positioning. With style sheets, you can get very complete control over the look and feel. This is very similar to what Microsoft has done with Windows Presentation Foundation, except that they are using a more sophisticated XML DTD. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
