On that last point let me clarify and point out that I never suggested that. By definition a line area is a block area that contains only inline areas as children. The quibble was over whether block areas returned/generated by by FO children, and line areas that wrap inline areas returned/generated by FO children, can/must/shouldn't co-exist in a single normal block area generated by the top-level block FO. I was suggesting the "shouldn't" viewpoint; Karen reads it differently. I am off to work so cannot comment more at the moment, on anything. :-) Arved --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
