This sounds like the sort of approach that we need. If possible we might be able to have a "layout processor" which normally reads the fo objects and creates an area tree. An alternate implementation will instead directly create the output document. The fo object tree does all the handling of attributes. So are things like static areas, markers, page numbers etc. possible with rtf or are these type of things simply not possible. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
