Ah, so we need to define first, what we really want to expect. :-) Does the spec say anything about the expected behaviour? On 02.10.2005 00:57:07 J.Pietschmann wrote: Jeremias Maerki wrote: On 27.09.2005 16:38:23 Luca Furini wrote: [the usual layout oscillation/convergence problem] What is

Hi, (Apologies for the many posts... I'm definitely on a roll :-)) Now that it has been made clear to me that the layout-engine first calculates *all* break-possibilities, IMO this also seems to make implementing page-position=last much, much easier. Assuming that no areas are generated
