Can I remove them > from the skeletons, or is there something I'm missing? Some (many?) of our documentation files already don't use the para's around these elements. The only thing that happens in the output when removing the extra para's is there is no vertical spacing between repeated elements. See http://us.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.autocommit.php for an example. The following CSS snippet (for line 867 of site.css) puts that spacing back in without impacting examples that do have para's around them: div.refsect1 div.example { margin-top: 20px; } Thanks, --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
