Use the str-split-to-lines template (file strstrSplit-to-Lines.xsl) from the FXSL functional programming library. It is based upon a functional tokenizer, which given a text and a set of possible delimiters for words produces a list of words. Thus the str-split-to-lines template can easily be modified to produce justified text by distributing the necessary number of additional spaces between the words that form a line. The FXSL functional programming library can be used with the Saxon, MSXML and Xalan XSLT processors and can be easily customised for other XSLT processors. It is freely available at: http://www.topxml.com/xsl/articles/fp/ or http://www.topxml.com/downloads/default.asp?id=v20021156554 Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
