You can see my progress here: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=wip/koha-chris_n.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/label-create-html The work was begun some months ago and is cold a the moment, so you will have to read through it to figure how it works. It is actually pretty far along. Be warned that in its current state it breaks the pdf printing capability. It is probably within less than 40 hours of completion. My premise for starting this work was exactly that you have mentioned: Browsers display unicode very well. From that point one can do whatever one likes with the output. Kind Regards, Chris
