We were taking into account one of your old letters, thinking that you are talking mostly about the problem which is common to both usecases and makes is OK to be solved on the level of FOs. As to whole running heads stuff. It may be interesting to render such ( exotic ) usecase you are talking about. It seems that we both may get better understanding on how easy is it to switch from the typical 'day-to-day' formatter to XSL FO based formatter if: You will prepare the XML testcase and the expected result of rendering in PDF format using the existing day-to-day formatter ( also I'm sure that you'l use some package around the core formatter. I don't think there is some formatter that supports such an exotoc fuctionlaity in the core API ). You'l send us the .xml and PDF file ( no need in any stylesheets, macroses or scripts you use. Just XML input and PDF output is fine ). We'l then render it and provide our comments. I think it's fair enough, because we'l spend much more time solving the puzzle than you will spend preparing the puzzle and we have no clientes who are interested in anything like those runnig heads. I consider it to be kind of scientific experiement. If you have no time for preparing such an experiement - please ignore this message - we have no time either. It's up to you. All the best.
