As a sidenote, I've been extremely busy the last couple of months and so haven't been keeping up with most of the doc improvements. I just clicked over to 4.4.3 in the LM and I have to say that I'm extremely impressed. IMO we've needed fully written-out examples of how the different settings and attributes interact for quite some time. (This is especially true of spacing). And the LM looks to be precisely that. I don't know who authored those particular pages, but I'm both impressed and grateful. I'll look forward to reading through the other LM sections soon. Trevor. -- Trevor Bača [EMAIL PROTECTED]
