Hi, ok I see. I have to think about this.

That's what I was thinking about too. 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 ;-)?

That's right. Especially if you don't have sizing information. For this stuff I
would have a look at the TeX/LaTeX stuff.

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... Robert
