None of these should be the way to do it, but: - Use vendor extensions - Do one or more pre-passes to get the size of things from the area tree - Run the XSL-FO formatter from within your XSLT to iteratively size things to fit - Wait a couple of years for CSS to overtake down a different path - Use TeX (some would say that is *the* way to do it) Regards, Tony Graham tgraham@mentea.net Consultant http://www.mentea.net Mentea 13 Kelly's Bay Beach, Skerries, Co.
