SDS Features and Benefits Linked to Welch Publications

Rod,

Sorry about not providing explicit links, but there is nothing like "purple numbers" in the standard documents, so the best I could do was to quote from the papers to provide context.

Thanks for the follow up. It gives me a better idea of what SDS does and how it goes about doing it.
..
FYI - The reason that SDS records do not render in Opera is that Opera is more standards compliant that Explorer! I ran and HTML validator over the pages and there are numerous errors. The most common one appears to be created by staring every font change by closing a presumed open font when there isn't one.

Every font markup in SDS starts with /font>(font)....

When a font section is closed early, the (/font) generates an error. This interacts with the pre tag in Opera to destroy the rendering because the mismatch of the font open and close hides the pre tag.
..
I have much to consider.

Thanks,

Sincerely,

Garold L. Johnson
