Hi Taco, I've found the miscreant. In my stylesheet I have \def\eDroppedCaps {\DroppedCaps {} {ptmr8r} {2.2\baselineskip} {2pt} {\baselineskip} {2}} and in my XML I have: \defineXMLcommand [dropped-caps] \eDroppedCaps and for some reason this screws up all paragraph indenting. Has this changed recently, because it used to work? Christopher
