Not sure I understand. XML attributes are be formatted however you want, even on several line, as long as whatever 'interprets' the attribute value accepts it. There is no 'continuation' character in XML. If you write an XML attribute's value on several lines, indented so things line up, you just have extraneous whitespace as part of the attribute value, but this usually doesn't matter. In this case, nothing is done with a <macrodef>'s attribute description, so you can write it however you want. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
