RE: [xsl] FO to format unstructured XML containing "tabs"

["Kyle Partridge" <kpartridge@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ASCII art sometimes doesn't reflect a lot of nuance ... are you just 
showing that item5 begins to the right of item2?

	Yes, exactly.

Where do you want item3 if item2 is longer than the tab location?

	Hmmm... That's a good question.  

	What I want is for these "tabs" to behave like "tabs" behave in
a word-processing program...so, if item4 runs over it's allotted space,
then, "pressing" tab should just bring you to the next "tab stop".

If <p tabs="0.2 1.2 2.2"> then that should indicate "tab stops" within
the paragraph block? Sort of like (* indicating a "tab stop"):

-*-------*-------*------------------------
 item    item2   item3
 item4   item5 blah blah and if i say <tab> now, nothing happens, there
are no more tabs

If item2 is longer than the tab location:
-*-------*-------*------------------------
 item    item2 goes on too long...item3 (because the tab before 3 is now
meaningless)

Thanks again,
KP
