Ah, so it's about multiline text. Yes, pdf has a "newline" operator that could be used to lay out simple paragraphs. I'll take a look later today to see how complicated it would need to be. > The current interface looks easy enough to use -- it just needs to be > advertised better, eg in a FAQ ( I had to read the source to find it, > which works well enough for me, but not for everyone).

I seem to recall that the ReST docstring of backend_pdf.PdfPages was included in the documentation at some point, but it is missing now from <http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/index_backend_api.html>. Of course the "backends" chapter may not get read by many users, so there could be a pointer to it from some suitable place elsewhere in the documentation. -- Jouni K.
