This makes the style-sheet concept a good one. It provides pretty printing that can be easily customized for any purpose, and also avoids the need for heuristics. In the absence of a style sheet, don't bother to align anything. Then CIF files can be optimized for human or computer parsing, and everybody gets what they want. I like the idea a lot. Peter, what do you think of CIF-based style sheets? Although XSLT is well defined, a CIF parser can already parse CIF, so why add a new parser syntax? Joe
