John,

I believe that both Miguel and Egon gave perfectly acceptable answers to
your question almost immediately; for example,


Miguel sent (2004.04.11 at 4.33p [+0200gmt]) :

in addition, Geoff Rowland offered the alternative of using HTML, which
prompted me to share my own experience on trying to do both.  I
apologize for not changing the Subject line of the message.

casting aspersions refers to malicious slander, and I hardly feel this
thread qualifies as such.  you have had a handful of direct answers to
your question.  but you are asking to use PP to do something that a
browser and html can do much better.  if you try to put a square peg in
a round hole, don't be offended if someone points out that a round peg
would fit better.


btw, I found the PP articles amusing - did you look at the David Byrne
article that Phil Barak posted?  David Byrne actually uses PP as a new
form of art.  I find it a fascinating example of the connection between
computers and creativity.  again, hardly slanderous.


regards,
