This text is formatted in XHTML, which is almost the same as ordinary HTML, but redefined as an XML DTD. In XHTML, you can't write tags that are not closed. For example, a paragraph must be started with <p> and ended with </p>. It is not enough to simply put a <p> between paragraphs. Tags with no content, such as <hr> may be abbreviated from <hr></hr> to <hr/>. An XHTML file must also start with an XML declaration: "<?xml version='1.0' encoding="iso-8859-1"?>" and the <html> root node must have a namespace parameter xmlns with a value of "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml".
It should be emphasized that the XHTML stylesheet that is supplied with Passepartout is only an early draft. It does not support things such as tables or multi-level lists.
It is possible to do
as well as
entirely using XSLT stylesheets.
The ostrich image is a JPEG with Flow around activated, so that text in all text frames will avoid it.
The lines above and to the left of this text frame are actually EPS images. Passepartout does not yet have built-in drawing abilities.
There is (as you can probably see) an experimental support for rotated raster images. The rotated image is put on top of the ostrich image. You can change that by clicking on the rotated image and pushing the Move object(s) to bottom button on the toolbar or by selecting Object-> Arrange-> Move to Bottom.
