Change parent of FOText from FObj to FONode?

2004-10-09 Thread Glen Mazza
Team, FOP's fo.FOText class is used for text nodes (PCDATA) found within the processing stream. For example, with: This sentence is really simple. "This sentence is ", "really", and " simple." become three separate FOText instances. We have this class extending FObj but I would like to have

That's a good idea. I don't think RenderX could do anything against us adding such a similar feature, unless they have a patent filed on that particular feature which will (hopefully!!!) be difficult. Sooner or later we will need something like that. Dave White is quite right to ask for an extensio

Only a small number of people have upgraded their Acrobat Reader to version 6. Start time of AR6 is a PITA so I personall
