Whatever is done, there should be good illustrations. In Neil Bradley's "XML Companion", he has a section on DSSSL styles in his dicsussion of what was carried over to XSL. He describes a few flow objects used by XSL, and each (or most) of the examples have illustrations showing the components or processes involved. This helped me quite a bit. DSSSL is quite abstract and hard to visualize, no matter how good the description is. A text that describes a standard that deals with layout should by nature contain illustrations of almost Everything. --Allan > -----Original Message----- > From: DPawson@xxxxxxxxxxx [SMTP:DPawson@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 1999 10:46 AM > To: dssslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: Scheme Programming Reference > > >Even if annotated, the DSSSL spec will still be unreadable.
