Section on word breaks now added, so that just about wraps it up, I think.

Hi Bels - love the entry!
A Scout has recommended it, but I just want to be sure you're done. Are you okay for this to progress or do you need more time?

Personally, I think the bit in the non-breaking spaces section which refers to GuideML should refer to HTML, making it more general. It might also be worth noting that 's should always be used in empty cells of HTML tables.

Hi, Dr J
Thanks, I've fixed that.

One final thing - in teh 'justification' section, would it be possible to align each paragraph as its own example? Eg the centre justification para is justified to centre.

Thanks, Jims.
As far as I'm concerned it's done. On the other hand, what's the rush? It wouldn't hurt to let it linger a bit in case there are more comments. On the other other hand, any points that did come up could be handled in subbing. On the next hand, the only outstanding points have been the section, and the title. I'm leaving the section in, but even if it did somehow disappear during editing I could still die happy. The present title has been queried, but I've left it as it is for now. I don't see it as a big problem, but changing it is no big deal either.
In other words, it's entirely up to you. Of course.
Bels

I was brought up in the belief that many of them make light work.

Perhaps too late, as it's already recommended, but anyway:
The dagger as a footnote sign is quite confusing for German readers. In German papers, reading "John Doe " means the same as "John Doe (deceased)" and no-one would look out for a footnote...
Great entry!

Thanks so much, Bossel. I meant to add that point but didn't, for no good reason. I've fixed it now. It isn't only in German.
