We used to allow anonymous bug reports, but it's too hard to track
down the originator that way :-)

Thanks.

Sure, it's easy to explain even if it's a royal pain in the tokus.

Questions and answers are supposed to have labels. For example,

  Q: How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

But if the markup is:

 <qandaset defaultlabel="qanda">
   <qandaentry>
     <question>
       <para>How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?</para>
     </question>
   </qandaentry>
 </qandaset>

The "obvious" implementation produces something like:

  <div class="qandaentry">
    <span class="label">Q:</span>
    <p>How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?</p>
  </div>

which renders as:

  Q:
  How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

So the first child of question and answer need all this special gook in order
to attempt to get the label inside the first block. It sucks totally, but I
don't know of a better answer. I'm open to suggestions.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
