And so does this: <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd"> <article> <title>foo</title> <para></para> </article> I'm quite puzzled now. I'll have to drop back to that series of versions and see if I can reproduce the error. In the meantime: Werner, my memories of what I've seen still say that nobody uses adjacent .P/.LP/.PP tags as vertical spacers, but what I thought was mechanical verification was not. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/">Eric S.
