In defence of FO it is designed for one thing - producing book-type documentation - and actually works very well for that. It's also designed to be a transformation target - you don't write FO, you write XSL-T to transform many pages of simple markup in to FO, and when you do that the complexity makes more sense. However, for a magazine-type layout, a brochure, or anything that doesn't follow the flow model it's just not going to work well. -- Phillip Hutchings http://www.sitharus.com/ _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
