| How does one go about recognising and handling processing instructions | using DSSSL? Indeed, is it even possible? I do not have any | documentation regarding this matter. There's no easy way to match PIs. You basically have to walk through node lists and look for them. This issue has come up a couple of times. Search the archives for Chris Maden (crism@xxxxxxx)'s posts about (process-text). (The only code I have handy that does it is extremely convoluted because it looks for _paired_ PIs used as psuedo elements ;-) | A question regarding DocBook, what is the best way of requesting | explicit line and page breaks? | | DocBook doesn't seem to have any builtin support for that sort of | thing. Is one obliged to make additions to the DTD? Those really should be PIs. If you really want to avoid the process-text solution, you could engage in tag abuse. Although the DocBook documentation states explicitly that the <beginpage> tag is for marking legacy page breaks, not informing the processor that a page break is desired, you could still use it for the latter. For line breaks, I suppose <phrase role="linebreak"></phrase> could be made to work. --norm DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
