Oleg has done this for Plot, see the Quick Start section of http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Plot. You can do the same for any other sets of pages. See page http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Plot/Full-Text and look at the raw text. There may be better ways of doing this in future, after we upgrade to the latest MoinMoin, but the current way should at least do what you want. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
