One way to balance the author's need to have nice-looking output, and your need to keep the content/html under control is to provide the authors with a variety of template layouts with varying number/placement/sizes of images and blocks of text. Build a half-dozen of them, allow only ASCII text input, let the author pick their poison, and Bob's yer uncle, for many clients/projects. Make them generic enough and re-use them forever. :-) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
