However, since we'll probably be switching (back) to proper nested lists there's no urgency. I'm curious: how many people do round-tripping? Our standard advice here has always been to save as AWML and to export a copy as XHTML. That's the best way to preserve formatting. One of my desires is indeed to create an XHTML importer/exporter pair that preserves as much as AbiWord's native format, but we certainly didn't have that in <= 1.0.3 Regards, Frank Francis James Franklin [EMAIL PROTECTED] `Medium atomic weights are available: Gold, Lead, Copper, Jet, Diamond, Radium, Sapphire, Silver and Steel. `Sapphire and Steel have been assigned...'
