It wasn't a waste of time. I think I was just over-reacting to a small
problem. That's what waking up at 5:00 am and coding straight for 12
hours and then repeating for a few days will do to you. Sorry for being
such a joker about it.

You are totally correct. I figured this out Sunday evening. I was only
looking at the problem in front of me and not all solutions. Again,
definitely due to too many hours and not enough sleep. But I did want a
text block and just didn't want to force myself to iterate over a list
and pick stuff out of it. So, I think the best solution is mixed = false
and a new element called text or something. This would solve the issue
nicely.
Thanks for the response and sorry again for being lame.
