For the steps that I put in all the data passes through those steps. The Structure listener probably only handles some parts of the data. I would say the StructureListener and the LayoutManagers are equivalent in terms of using the FO Tree and performing tasks with certain parts of the FO Tree. Maybe Structure Renderer is a better term. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
