Newly subscribed, I'm Dave Pawson, AC for RNIB, http://www.rnib.org.uk and very new to SVG, so please excuse my inexperience. I'm trying to convert an XML file to (amongst other media), a graphic format for visual presentation. The DTD is for a process map, using well known flow-chart type symbols. I'm using the IBM SVGView v0.3c 12/08/1999. A need I have recognised very early on is that of wrapping text within a constrained area, usually a rect. Since I'm using XSLT to convert to SVG, I have no idea of the size of the text content of an element, so direct coding of SVG is not an option. Questions: 1. is there any way to do this today? 2. If not, have the group considered adding a 'constrained' text element / attribute to provide this functionality? TIA for any help. DaveP
