If it is for Pillar, then you don't really need a full-fledged, paper oriented layout engine. A web-like layout environment is probably enough, and much less costly to build. > For me the problem with the TxText model is that it blocks the possibility > of doing > that later, if and when there is enough development capacity to invest in > this. There is enough technology in the Pharo universe to do it (or at least something approaching). Sometimes, what you need is the ideas / the rationale from a project to do it. And I do believe TxText has some of it, even if you consider that TxText can't be extended to do it (and I'll consider that you are right on this). Now, it's on nobody's roadmap, so it may take a while to emerge (if it does at all). Thierry
