Depends what he wants with the text, if he's willing to chain his transformations and how well marked up his text is(or should I say how granular his markup is?). (The path suggestion was because the question was somewhat unclear I had the impression at first that he actually wanted his text spiraled, although after rereading I figured he wanted what is below.) Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Hhhhhh picture hhhhhh Hhhhhh picture hhhhhh Hhhhhh picture hhhhhh Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i.e The impression I got was that he meant that if he had a text This is my great text here that I want to use This is my great text here that I want to use This is my great text here that I want to use This is my great text here that I want to use This is my great text here that I want to use This is my great text here that I want to use Then he wanted to get the following out of it: This is my great text here that I want to use This is my picture picture picture great text here that Ipicture picture picture want to us e This is picture picture picture my great te xt here thpicture picture picture at I want t o use This is my great text here that I want to use This is my great text here that I want to use. Damn I can't even get it to flow by hand! agreed it would be so awful a process it would not be worth contemplating in svg although certainly doable in theory as so many things are, however I also got the impression that he was using FOP for which a float would not be the solution. (I lost his original post as well but I think somewhere back in the thread FOP was mentioned) As there was some lack of clarity I hope to hear that in fact what he wants is the easier This is my great text here that I want to use This is my picture picture picturewant to use This is my picture picture picturewant to use This is my picture picture picturewant to use This is my picture picture picturewant to use This is my great text here that I want to use Which can be done using svg. Although truthfully I haven't tried running an svg like that through Fop, I assume as it uses Batik it should work. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
