Did > you use a page-float with a page-display? that was easy: (element fm ;; ie the whole of my article frontmatter (make page-display (make rule) (process-children-trim) (make rule))) and it is inside a simple-page-sequence with n-columns: 2 I hope you agree that the observed behaviour is a correct interpretation? by the way, can RTF do this sort of thing? incidentally, for vile hacking, i added a non-inherited characteristic `placement' to page-float the value of which is passed straight to LaTeX's float mechanism. and before you ask, yes ideally I need extra characteristics to specify things like length, height, depth of footnote rule, and footnote and float vertical space separation from main text. I start to realize how much i take for granted in LaTeX, which I am going to have to recode in DSSSL. sebastian DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
