aardvark, :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ : From: aardvark : : good thing that in the future, synopses will be a : different field... right? :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ not only is it a different field, but also if you don't include a synopsis as an author then it strips all html from the article and stuffs the first 200 in as the synopsis effectively eliminating this problem. thanks, .jeff name://jeff.howden game://web.development http://www.evolt.org/ mailto:jeff at members.evolt.org
