I think that's right: any such use is not sanctioned by the spec, and shouldn't be used on anything trying to be portable, but..... As I just mentioned, xmltex does allow this but that's just the way it works, and how it comes to be able to read FO files. It isn't specifically an FO renderer It is designed to take arbitrary xml input. HTML TEI MathML (and I'm told DocBook) are all supported to some extent. TEI and XSLFO are by far the most complete due to Sebastian's efforts to build the FO and TEI formatters on top of xmltex, but you can (but it's not recommended) drop an fo:block in the middle to an html table, in the bottom of a MathML fraction. xmltex will probably do something more or less sensible with the mess. More seriously supporting mathematics by supporting MathML inside arbitrary other document types is an important consideration (and SVG would be as well if I had any good ideas how to do SVG in xmltex) David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Control Centre.
