If he's an editor, then use that element. If he's a coordinator, I see it as "<collab class='coordinator'>...</collab>". If he's a contributor, then he's what is called a 'collaborator'.

If the stylesheets are or not doing something with that is another question we can discuss. > It's on my list of things to do, but if someone else wants to > provide some insight, that would be appreciated. As I said, I think it's only needed some customization on our stylesheet... -- Godoy. godoy@conectiva.com Desenvolvimento de Soluções -- Solutions Development Conectiva S.A - www.conectiva.com.br - +55 (41) 360-2600 Conectiva Inc. - www.conectiva.com - +55 (41) 360-2600 _________________________ http://list.linuxdoc.org/
