To do this well would take much work -- TeX produces publishing-quality output because is the result of two decades of development and refinement. Unless you plan to embed TeX's composition engine into a Postscript/PDF backend, it is unlikely that you will have the time or resources to manage better than, say, Netscape's "Save As" Postscript output. In the mean time, using Jade with TeX is not a great hardship, especially now that TeX can write PDF directly -- it's simply a matter of Jade -> PDFTeX rather than Jade -> TeX -> dvips [-> ps2pdf] All the best, David -- David Megginson david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.megginson.com/ DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
