This has come up before and I entirely sympathize. I have often expressed the same reservations about the whole DSSSL/XSLFO model. You *do* have the multi-switch/multi-case stuff in XSL FO (6.9.3 ff), which could maybe do some of what you want, but so far as I know its an entirely unexplored area. I do not think any of the XSL FO implementations do anything with it. > So, what XSL experts would say? Am I missing something? Or am I, with my > designer needs, out of luck in XSL world? I think the jury is out. We need more experience in doing real-world design using FO. Sebastian Rahtz XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
