Hi - I have the impression that I used to be one of the most serious PassiveTeX users out there, but I have now abandoned it in favor of Fop (trunk alias fop1). For me, PassiveTeX is a thing of the past. Are you (or is somebody else) going to port the slides stylesheets also? This would be

FrameMaker's online help index uses this format: cats [1] dogs [1] [2] where the [1] is the hot text that takes you to the point destination. All entries have [1], and any duplicates get more numbers. It is pretty obvious that those are not page numbers. Just another suggestion. Bob
