Anne, there are at least a couple of ways of tagging your subsection headings in the existing DTD structure so that they could easily appear in a navigator. You'll have to decide if you're happy with either of the two I detail below. One way you could do it is to have a separate <scopecontent> tag for each of your subsections, each with its own heading. The DTD allows as many <scopecontent> tags as you like within < archdesc>. This would look something like: <archdesc> <did>...</did> <scopecontent> <head>Photographs</head> ... </scopecontent> <scopecontent> <head>Cartoon Drawings</head> ... </scopecontent> ... An alternative possibility is to have several <scopecontent> tags within another < scopecontent>, which may be better as it represents the logical hierarchy more satisfactorily. <scopecontent> is allowed within itself. This would come out something like: <archdesc> <did>...</did> <scopecontent> <scopecontent> <head>Photographs</head> ... </scopecontent> <scopecontent> <head>Cartoon Drawings</head> ... </scopecontent> ... </scopecontent> ... Hope you find this useful. Yours, David -- David L. Clough Reference Assistant, Yale Divinity Library New Haven CT 06511 tel.
