You might try "The Schematics of Computation", by ????. Typesetting/Layout etc: Something else newcomers might find useful is the FOSI documentation. Of course FOSI per se won't do you any good in DSSSLville, but much of the language related to page layout, typesetting, etc is the same or similar, and the FOSI handbook and reference has much more explanatory material than the DSSSL spec does. Contains a good general discussion of how floats should be handled, for example. I suspect some of the language of the DSSSL spec would be easier to take for somebody familiar with FOSI concepts. Groves/Property Sets: Section 4 of Appendix A of the Hytime spec might be of some use in understanding property sets and groves. I think there is some narrative coverage of them in the intro as well. http://www.ornl.gov/sgml/wg8/docs/n1920/html/clause-A.4.html The complete standard is at http://www.ornl.gov/sgml/wg8/docs/n1920/, and http://www.hytime.com has some good stuff. Go to http://www-cals.itsi.disa.mil/core/formal/fps.htm and get "MIL-PRF-28001C; 2 May 1997" (the FOSI reference, which is an appendix to the CALS standard), and "MIL-HDBK-28001; 30 June 1995" (the handbook). Both are in PDF. DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
