That's a good suggestion!

Concur.

Yes, thanks.  That handles the html nicely.

Any other suggestions out there? What I'm actually trying to do is wc
a docbook document. So I can process the docbook to html, then use
Al's method to wc that. That gives me a working solution, but I'm
always interested to know if there are other tricks I'm missing.

Thanks,
Ian
