I looked over it (very briefly), and it does look pretty clean. It fits in with how I've been thinking about layouts and formatting, and I think it would be easy to port. I don't know how well it would fit in with the direction in which our formatting system is going, though. >> If this code is Ruby, i'd *love* to see it.

I'd still love to see it, if you can find it. :dudley _______________________________________________ Ruport mailing list [email protected] http://lists.stonecode.org/listinfo.cgi/ruport-stonecode.org
