Thanks a *LOT!* :-) This is what I needed. Now I can play with finding the best data structure along with what elements to translate each tag to. This is for a rewrite of PyDoc.py. I'm hoping it will be as easy to write to other formats from the XML as it is to html. Cheers, Ron -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
