Hi Bob, thanks for these clarifications. My document has several chapter and section titles that require line breaking, but everything seems to work as expected even without those fo:inline elements. But it is quite possible that none of my titles triggers those border cases where the fo:inline elements would make a difference if they were supported properly by fop. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
