It is not just the full redraw that causes the trouble, but there are several stylesheet items which cause a partial redraw as with Robert's docbook example. If I change a value which causes a rebuild of an element, and that element contains others which are collapsible, these all revert to their default state.
I would like something like: collapsed: yes | no | preserve; Could this be added to the wish list? Philip Hussein Shafie wrote: > Philip Nye wrote: >> I have been struggling with a similar issue.
