Do we need to close smart tags
e.g.
<rename="Ealing">...... </recname>

e.g.
<curdb="products">
.....
</curdb>

No, closing tags aren't required. Can you cut-and-paste some of the
exact code that is not being replaced? Perhaps something from the
original custom page, and what that section of code looks like in the
resulting published page?

Here is a page that doesnt seem have the <recname> tags
being replaced properly.
Mind you, FWIW, the <curdb> tag seems to disappear okay.
Oh, BTW, I am using a dreamweaver template to help
generate the source HTML.

I tried a two liner smart html file that just said

<curdb="products">
<rename="Ealing">

And shopsite stripped out the curdb but left the recname!!

Dont worry I have now abandoned the <recname> tag
completely because it screws up browsers if it is left
behind. I now use the parameter record="...."
e.g. within the <order> tag but it's much messier and more
work for me!

Ship,

I tried the same thing and it worked. Except I spelled 'recname' with a 'c' instead of
'rename'. My resulting file looked like (between the '-'):

----------------------


----------------------

There are a few little things that someone can do to screw up the tags besides
misspellings, the other day I saw a case where someone forgot to put a closing quote
after one of the values and that screwed up the parsing of the file for the rest of
that page.
