I (questioner) am wondering whether, the markup in question wouldn't be used to drive multiple processes or presentations. So I guess I'm assuming that if (for example) formatting needs to "provide_for" references to objects (graphics, sound, video, code, and "other_stuff_to_be_described"); and if these referenced objects would be processed differently, or not all, or multiply, depending_on_the_processor and media the processor was presenting the data to; then would an external file would allow for more portability of instances? 08:44 PM 4/29/98 -0400, Paul Prescod wrote: >James K.
