The example that tripped me up recently. A 'tagless' form of XML, editing docbook. I wanted to close off about 3 levels of tags, say para sect2 sect1 and create a new sect1. Because the end tags weren't there to get my cursor in-between I just couldn't do what I wanted. Nor could I find any way to achieve that. regards DaveP
