Hi Joe, hi Carlos, yep, both of you sound reasonable - I'll check that one out and will try it. Still the question is: how do the other backends treat it? Would be nice if the output of, say, the MIF or RTF backend would be the same as of the PDF backend... (heck, I see that RTF depends on the 'real' backend as well, so forget that one... :-) ) Christof ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carlos Villegas" <cav@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <dssslist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2001 10:49 AM Subject: Re: (dsssl) scale-attribute - how is it handled correctly? > I think you can have a reasonable default like the one suggested by Joe. > Better yet make it configurable by some option to the backend.
