It needs a painful lot of work to make free-floating formating not come out with poor results. When I do the above, an ascii arts with 3 lines of text and a box around is broken over from page8->page9 for http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2616.html In order to support free-float formatting, you will have to tag *ALL* paragraphs, bullet points, drawings, sections and what have you with "non-breakability" information (in TeX it is called "badness") so that formatting doesn't "break" badly as it currently will do. HTML may be ok for screen rendering, but it is very poor at printing. This particular free-float HTML-version of rfc2616 also creates some close-to "intentionally left blank" pages (and the purpose of page 120 in the above document is a mystery to me). And while the Headers&Footers that a browser puts on a printout might make sense for printing web pages, I strongly prefer the original headers and footers on RFCs and I-Ds! -Martin _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
