Hey i been frusterated by how formatting is very limited in our 'X-ed' out languages... everyone seems to tell me its not needed or there is something simliar in XSL-FO at least but i dont think so... this is my suggestion but u may say its dumb and i wont be offended :) Was wondering what u guys thought about an xHTML element that can be used like this to make our documents more standardized <xhtml:formatting type="space" number="100"> would basically stand for etc... 100 times <xhtml:formatting type="tab" characters-per-value="3" number="5"> = 15 'spaces' or 5 tabs (3 chars each tab) <xhtml:formatting type="newline" number="2"> = 2 returns and it would be soooo nice if XSL had a element like this so when we are transforming files and trying to format them correctly... we can just do something similar to above (different namespace of course, xsl:) ; much easier than <xsl:text> </xsl:text> for a newline. or <xsl:text> <xsl:text> for 15 spaces (easier to change and we would know our formatting without counting spaces) XSL-FO should have an element like this for formatting PDF's. BAD idea? Good idea? _________________________________________________________________ Scope out the new MSN Plus Internet Software — optimizes dial-up to the max! http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-us&page=byoa/plus&ST=1
