> Is it even possible ? oh. never say never, but i can't think of any sensible mechanism off the top of my head:-) If you know the number of rows per page (and you start at the top of the page) then none of this is difficult at all as you can do all the calculations in the stylesheet before FO rendering begins. In the most general case where the page breaking depends on the content though you need a slight extension. If you used markers to get the total sum up to the end of the previous page and the end of the current. Then you have in the rendering engine all the info you need, you just want to take the values of the two marks and convert to numbers and subtract. Unless I mis read the spec then FO doesn't currently allow that although most likely any FO renderer could easily allow such a function. (passivetex could easily do this, certainly) David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
