What benefits would you get beyond the display >(which you could already do inside a literallayout). > That's the main advantage I saw. With sophisticated style-sheets it would be possible to represent the tree graphically instead of with ASCII art. It would also be possible to represent it in different forms. For example, like this: node1----- / \ node2 node3 / \ node4 node5 Which, as you can see, is a lot more difficult to represent than the other form. -- Stephen Rasku E-mail: stephen@tgivan.com Senior Software Engineer Web: http://www.pop-star.net/ TGI Technologies
