Juergen, flattering won't get you anywhere either [check weekday]. Actually you and Angus have no small part in this work. And all the others that broke in with their critique. This is the perfect learning environment. Actually I agree with you. The thing is ready, useable, and proposes a reasonable and clean extension to the document format. The only dangling end, colour, has a proposed consensus solution that is unimplemented still but similarly unproblematic. Lars, what do you think? Can this go in? Latest patch attached in toto. An interesting experience, though... I would have been perfectly happy with my first, pseudo-charstyles-based solution. (Actually I preferred its UI, even if it required maintenance of metadata in the user's head.) The present solution represents 10x the effort, 10x the LOC, and presumably a contribution to binary size that is similarly large. Ah well, memory is cheap. I *am* happy that what we now have is reasonably clean OO C++, even if the end user will never see it. It pays off longer term. I have read that in implementing a typical feature, 90% of the effort goes to the user interface. Perhaps this is typical... - Martin -- Martin Vermeer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Helsinki University of Technology Dept. of Surveying, Inst. of Geodesy P.O. Box 1200, FIN-02015 HUT, Finland :wq
