That may be a newer version than I've looked at; ISTR you could sort of do it with older versions but things like the one-page vs. multi-page selection was only available in the html version. > Well, you are saying that for some reason you can't get the print > stylesheet to work right, correct? This was a DTD I wrote from scratch (that being the point of the exercise, to show how easy it was :-) so I needed to concoct a stylesheet as well. The main problem was that TeX is really good at doing a lot of things (like paragraph flow) that I had no need for; it has a lot of design and is generally suitable for something else entirely. For slides, I really wanted to put everything onto the page in specific ways, and I needed a lot of control for that -- and I was in a hurry :-) Raw postscript let me really tweak the appearance well, and perl simply has a bigger toolbox than jade-scheme. (Yay regexps - do you want to try and parse %%BoundingBox without them?) On the otherhand, HTML is so primitive that getting jade to output it nicely is easy... I don't *need* much control there, and 100 lines of DSSSL gave me everything including META tags and substitution of jpg files for ps inclusions, by name... the perl code was closer to 200 lines, but included at least 50 lines of raw perl preamble, and is relatively simple. Getting jade+tex to do what the postscript does would have been a challenge, but if someone wants to demo another path, they're certainly welcome to :-)
