Hi,

I'm re-writing for Windows an XML-like application, whose data has a
hierarchical structure which conforms to a simple form of 'DTD'.  This
application has a "display language" which pre-dates DSSSL and has a
rather different logic.

While I have had little success in converting the display language
constructs to DSSSL ones, I can realistically expect to generate a Flow
Object Tree that fully conforms to the DTD which Jade uses.

My question is, if I manage to produce a FOT in this way, can I feed it
into one of the Jade back-ends and so produce paginated output?

Richard Light.
