I see lots of stuff in the Wiki about page breaking, but can't see the original. As Jeremias told, there isn't much official documentation about the basics of the new breaking algorithm. A wiki page, or maybe more than one, could be very useful, even to keep track of the points that could need some more work. I have thought of writing it some times ... but unfortunately I never found the time to do it! :-( Thanks Luca.

Is your boss supporting you or have you simply become addicted to FOP? :-) Just curious. Jeremias, Thank you for your kind words. If you mean 'boss' in the domestic sense the answer is no - she certainly doesn't like me doing any more work on computers than I am doing any way. If you mean 'boss' in the business sense then there is a big problem: I am my own boss and any time I spent on fop I am not earning money to feed the bunch at home. But seriously - I have been lurking on the fop-dev list for many years and even provided some minor patches back in the days when 0.20.4 and 0.20.5 where hot property. This all started when I introduced and used fop in a high volume document centric server application for a customer. As a result of that success I always wanted to contribute back something to an open source project whose 'fruits of labour' I was using commercially. However, fop didn't appear to be going anywhere for a long time (apart from some at times not so friendly discussions on this list). Finally, you wrote on this list that fop 1.0 may be nearing a first pre-beta release. That's when I got encouraged to look at it in more detail again and then decided to help with the push to get it 'out of the door'. Does that satisfy your curiosity? Manuel
