Hi Allan, Allan said: Whatever is done, there should be good illustrations. In Neil Bradley's "XML Companion", he has a section on DSSSL styles in his dicsussion of what was carried over to XSL. He describes a few flow objects used by XSL, and each (or most) of the examples have illustrations showing the components or processes involved. This helped me quite a bit. DSSSL is quite abstract and hard to visualize, no matter how good the description is. A text that describes a standard that deals with layout should by nature contain illustrations of almost Everything. Didier says: I agree with you. I read this book and liked the flow object illustrations. In my current article about the "flow object of the month : the paragraph Flow object". I' ve been inspired but this book. I am currently illustrating also the area concept and the area container concept. I discovered that these two spatial objects are fundamental to DSSSL. What remains to discover now is: What are the common properties for all areas? In CSS all objects are based on the box visual object. The box object has been defined with a core set of properties. I am trying to dig if this is the case for the area object (which is equivalent to the CSS box object). I am trying to see if, even if this is not said, in the specs, there is implicit commmon properties to all areas. Or maybe someone already has the answer? regards Didier PH Martin mailto:martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.netfolder.com DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
