If intermediate results from the FO tree and the Area tree are buffered to disk, the distinction between single pass with back-tracking and multiple pass begins to blur. For things like page number resolution a straight-forward multi-pass solution may be best, but I would like to see where we go with the other more localised problems before considering a full-on multi-pass model.

Peter, This brings back to light the possibility of needing to do multipass layout, doesn't it? I had suggested something along these lines previously.-----Original Message----- From: Peter B.

In the latter cases, the layout process is effectively a probe to see what the dimensional requirements range for this piece of layout is. However, problems like rivers, last page and footnotes turn all layout into probes, and all layout must potentially be undone and redone in the light of the knowledge gained. Peter -- Peter B.
