320.0. "Avoid <P> between <example> and <callouts>" by JARETH::SCHUPMANN () Thu Apr 19 1990 13:52

    Beware of <p> tags between <example_attributes> and <callouts> tags.

I had a peculiar problem when trying to build my book
for the bookreader. I didn't have any serious processing 
problems until the Device Conversion when I got 
this BOOKWRITER ERROR:

I checked the source elements and found that the "vol_set_example" symbol was 
defined properly. I also checked for symbol-name arguments after all chapter,
appendix, head, figure, example, and table tags.  All of these tags had symbols
and everything appeared to be okay. 

Then I noticed that in this particular example, I had a <p> tag between the
<example_attributes> tag and the <callouts> tag.  

***************************************************************************
*  <example>(Mounting a Shadowed Volume Set \ vol_set_example)            *
*  <example_attributes>(keep\wide)                                        *
*  <P>                                                                    *
*  <CALLOUTS>                                                             *
***************************************************************************

When I removed the <p> tag, the book built successfully. 
The following shows the "corrected" source code:
