Some extra info: I needed this in the context of parsing XML. For instance: <font face="Comic">test</font>. When the opening tag is encountered, I create a Phrase, define a font for the Phrase, and add it to the stack of objects. Then the parser discovers the content of the tag, and adds it to the top object of the stack: the Phrase. The String gets the font of this object. When the closing tag is encountered, the object is removed from the stack and added to the document. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
