It would be helpful if you could provide more details about what you are trying to do but there is a standard DSSSL function, (attribute-string) that will return the value of an attribute as a string. You can then use this value (appropriately converted) to specify the characteristics of flow objects: DTD: <!ELEMENT p - - (#PCDATA)> <!ATTLIST p indent NUMBER #REQUIRED> Instance: <p indent="2">This paragraph should be indented two units from the left margin</p> DSSSL style sheet: (element p start-indent: (* (string->number (attribute-string "indent")) 1pica) (process-children)) -dan -- Daniel Speck e-mail: dspeck@xxxxxxxxxxxx Systems Engineer voice: +1 301.548.7818 Thomson Technology Services Group fax: +1 301.527.4094 1375 Piccard Drive, Rockville, MD 20850 WWW: www.thomtech.com DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
