Create a customisation layer of the DTD, and create some prompt.foo entities. Two good ones we use on the FreeBSD Doc. Project are &prompt.root; (becomes '<prompt>#</prompt>') &promtt.user; (becomes '<prompt>%</prompt>') For a DTD customisation that does this, and more, look at http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/doc/share/sgml/freebsd.dtd Hope that helps, N -- If you want to imagine the future, imagine a tennis shoe stamping on a penguin's face forever. --- with apologies to George Orwell
