Paul, Your input on numbering in CSS is very interesting, we're studying the various proposals. I have a few questions regarding the DSSSL examples you posted: > (element P > (if (modulo (child-number) 5) > (make sequence > (literal (number->string (child-number))) > (process-children)) > (process-children))) > > Which outputs a line number for every fifth line. Being able to do stuff with lines as they are formatted is often requested (that's why we have the 'first-line' pseudo-element in CSS) so I support your goal. However, I'm unable to see how the above example achieves it. Doesn't '(child-number)' return the element's logical position, not the line number? Also, will the modulo function ever return #f?
