CSS is not XSLT. XSLT is a file-to-file conversion. CSS just defines how things are rendered; making sure that the right codes are sent to a printer is a job for the CSS implementation and/or the printer driver. >Just a suggestion and I recognize you probably can't use the Unicode notation >without changing a number of other character references. For consistency I >guess you can replace 'U+000A' with 'character 10 in Unicode or "A" in >hexadecimal' A propos 'character 10 in Unicode': Using octal or decimal numbers for Unicode characters is a very bad idea. If CSS does that in any place, this urgently has to be fixed. Regards, Martin.
