Originally that was a design requirement. getKnuthElements could only return one list, which was interpreted as one paragraph or page sequence. For the BlockLevelLMs that is still the case. The InlineLevelLMs now return a list of lists, each of which represents a paragraph or a sequence of inline blocks. Therefore they need not return after a forced break, but it does not hurt if they do. Regards, Simon -- Simon Pepping home page: http://www.leverkruid.eu
