If the actual user input will be DefaultSafeFormat=".rtf", then you probably want the quotes literally in the text. To me it makes sense that all of this is unbroken text of a userinput element. If you wanted to emphasize that the value should be that string, you might use <literal>".rtf"</literal>, but it seems to me that the entire user input is, in fact, a type of literal, in which case this would be redundant. One useful way to mark this up might be: <userinput><varname>DefaultSafeFormat</varname>=<constant>".rtf"</constant></userinput> which adds more information about the structure of what the user is inputting. The quote[0] element, on the other hand, is meant to represent a piece of text taken from an external source: a quotation. Take care, John L. Clark
