[oXygen-user] Recursive Root Element In CSS

[Betty Harvey]

Thanks George!

That did the trick.  I wonder if it wasn't working because I didn't have a
standalone 'topic' declaration.  I am not sure why I couldn't get it to
work.  I have to work with CSS once every 5 years.  Much prefer XSLT or
XSL-FO!

As usual you are the greatest!!!  Hope everything is going well with you. 
Most of my time these days is working with Obamacare and NIEM (not a fan
of NIEM).

Hope to see you soon!

Thanks again!

Betty
