With respect, Wes, that would be a very silly idea, as such. If the author wanted to include Javascript (or any other client-side script) in the web page, they would have a torrid time if the delimiters for the script were the same as the delimiters for the Ada code! Better that the Ada code delimiters are completely different to those of any client-side scripting language. However, I'm very happy to accept ideas for an alternative syntax to what I suggested, provided it does not clash with client-side scripting syntax (or any kind of syntax that could be required in an HTML page). I forgot to mention an escaping mechanism with my suggestion, but some escaping mechanism would be necessary. -- Nick Roberts Jabber: debater@charente.de [ICQ: 159718630]
