We should probably create some tables showing what is supported by what backend - and then work to fill the gaps. > > Toby said that he used the page-n-columns characteristic implemented in both > the rtf and mif back ends (did you know that the mif backend also support > this characteristic?

No need to do so, Didier. I have already extracted all that information to dsssl/extensions.dsl. It lists all supported nonstandard FOs and ICs separately for each backend. -- Matthias Clasen, Tel. 0761/203-5606 Email: clasen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mathematisches Institut, Albert-Ludwigs-Universitaet Freiburg DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
