Sorry for the late response...I was on vacation and even when I'm around I don't follow the lists as closely as I used to. I just wanted to mention that I seem to recall using IGNORE to handle aspects of the conditional text rendering for RELNOTESng (platform-specific details, as well as snapshot vs. release boilerplate text). If this is true, I'd dispute the "not widely used" comment above. No other comments on your proposal however. Cheers, Bruce. --=-w2iDmDIXqwZ34W0uhI8X Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBtMY42MoxcVugUsMRAgFPAKDhx654vxEL96HSsvxqpST/4n0VrgCg/OKo X66WhDpqqJem4AHxORiAwuk= =sMhr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-w2iDmDIXqwZ34W0uhI8X--
