Kangax is a simple publishing tool which leverages cocoon technology. Please contact Dean McGowan to discuss, this would be a free service to the community, however editors and contributors are still necessary. If you are using a win 32 operating system with ie6.0 installed please download and trial Kangax from http://www.kangax.com/client/kangax/downloads/setup.exe Regards, Dean McGowan -----Original Message----- From: Diana Shannon [mailto:shannon@apache.org] Sent: Thursday, July 04, 2002 9:10 AM To: cocoon-users@xml.apache.org Subject: Re: Website documention problem with page widths On Wednesday, July 3, 2002, at 06:55 PM, Scott Bussinger wrote: > Many of the pages have severe issues with page widths.

This is a known problem with source snippets that are made up of CDATA sections running longer than the designed screen width. We're addressing this in Forrest. Right now, the only solution is to manually break these snippets in the source XML file for "pretty printing" in docs. I always fix this when I encounter such problems in the existing files I edit, and I screen these problems out of all new submissions, but I simply haven't had time to fix *all* problematic files, yet.

Also a Forrest goal. Thanks for your input.
