Hi Rob,

first of all thanks for the quick reply.
But then....

Even if I define
<!ELEMENT  ainhalt      (#PCDATA |  tabelle | liste | bild | nsi | 
                        link | publikation)* >

indention still doesn't work.

Could someone point me to a working but _small_(!) DTD where I could
look things up. I tried the (X)HTML DTD's but they are far to large
and it would be nice (for you, too, 'cause I'll bother you less ;-) if
I had a small and correct DTD where I could find the correct
solutions.

Thanks in advance
