Based on this I think what is desired is support for the formatting-instruction flow object class in the RTF backend. I modified my copy of Jade1.0.1 to do this as suggested by Vivek Agrawala: Just add a method to RtfFOTBuilder.cxx: void RtfFOTBuilder::formattingInstruction(const StringC& s) { os() << s; } (which, by the way, didn't work. I got an error message from the C++ compiler about not finding an appropriate definition for <<. I ended up iterating over each character in s). When I tried to use the formatting-instruction flow object class in my modified Jade to produce footnotes (sorry, but I really needed to produce footnotes and I couldn't wait until the full page-sequence flow object class was implemented) I got a paragraph break at the point at which I inserted my footnote. I suspect that the implementation of formatting-instruction needs to be a little more complicated... > > James Clark wrote: > > characteristic. What do you need hidden text for?

I don't know what Word's concept of hidden text is but in general the concept of hidden text is common in composition systems. For example, XyVision's XPP has a cancel print command, TeX has \special{...}, Intergraph's ILP has (or at least had) a concept of deleted text that could be restored, etc. -dan -- Daniel Speck e-mail: dspeck@xxxxxxxxxxxx Research 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
