Karen, I just took another look at this message. You might want to have a look at the mechanism I have in place for managing the communication between the XML parser and the FO tree builder. I am proposing to use the same mechanism to isolate the FO builder from the Area tree builder and, in

Hi all, An initial version of the Layout Manager classes (package org.apache.fop.layoutmgr) is now in CVS, plus some related changes in Area (up for discussion; this is just past the pseudocode point, but at least it builds :-) and in the fo/pagination classes. Needless to say, it does nothing use
