I would guess that the extra 'newlines' (paragraphs) are probably appearing because you have <item> within <item>. If you simply put: (element item (make paragraph ... (process-children))) then each <item> will produce a paragraph flow object, and you are effectively asking Jade to produce nested paragraphs. Of course, RTF, having a pretty flat model for the document, can't do that, and probably generates an extra paragraph instead. >when I put this thru jade without a DTD, I get a whole >lotta extra space and newlines. With docbook3 and >itemizedlists, there is no extra whitespace. So, I assume >that a proper DTD is the way to slurp up the unwanted >whitespace. Correct? If you use (process-children-trim) rather than (process-children), a DSSSL engine will chuck out all leading and trailing space from each element - this might allow you need to deal with your well-formed input 'as is', rather than having to write a DTD. Do you know there is a DSSSL list (dssslist@m...)? Hope this helps, Richard Light. Richard Light SGML/XML and Museum Information Consultancy richard@l... xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
