I couldn't agree more with Walter's assessment. If I remove the Netscape
from the doctype, then I no longer have access in HoTMetaL Pro to the
Netscape specific tags such as <CENTER>, etc. Since the browsers generally
seem to ignore the doctype anyway, I could probably create my pages with
the Netscape doctype so HoTMetaL uses the correct rules file, and then
manually change the doctype to the standard default. Of course, I won't do
this... but it is tempting... ;-) SoftQuad, are you listening?
