I needed to have multiline footers for a style sheet I wrote some time ago --- our client wanted to put a table(!) in the footer. With the RTF output engine, this was pretty impossible, so we had to convince them to change the layout they wanted, if you can believe that. So, yes, I agree that multiline headers/footers are a common requirement. But before you criticize the holy grail--- I mean, the DSSSL online standard, you should note that it is, after all, for online display and simple tasks. While I know that there are many HTML pages now that have something resembling headers and footers, these things are not exactly natural concepts for web pages. And they aren't needed for simple documents, at least according to my definition. Of course, multiline headers/footers are child's play in full DSSSL. --FC DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
