Is there any way to this with View at the moment? I can't remember a 'bold etc. tag for rendering text. If it's not possible it sounds like we need a rich-text-style with a nice dialect... oh, could we use the make-doc-pro dialect for this ;-)? > I must add that rendering to a pageless scheme (eg. html) is significantly > easier than a "page-aware" format (such as PDF), as you don't have to worry > about how to determine where your rendered text is going to appear (and by > implication, *when* you need to add page break(s)), but for printed reports > PDF (or rtf if I ever get around to it!) is greatly preferable to html. That's right. Especially if you don't have sizing information. For this stuff I would have a look at the TeX/LaTeX stuff. > So, after all that, how is make-doc-pro PDF support going Robert? I can > certainly appreciate the difficulties you will / are encountering! ;) Still no progress yet. I'm goig to stablize make-doc-pro first. Than I have to have a look at the LaTeX algorithm, try it on view and than PDF. Maybe Flash should be done first...
