That will probably be the hardest part if you want to do it automatically. As for putting the [BREAKARTICLE] into the text, why ever would you not use xml markup indicating in - as in <BREAKARTICLE/> or even a processing instruction <?BREAKARTICLE ?> ? After all, you have xml markup in the article already. Your [BREAKARTICLE] amounts to a non-standard markup. Use a standard instead. As for hiding it, that depends on how you will be displaying it in the first place. If you are going to run it through an xslt stylesheet, and you use xml for the break indicator, it should be trivial to hide whatever you want to hide. Creating the daisy chain of continuation links will depend on your processing system, whatever that is. Cheers, Tom P XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
