Re: CForms

[Peter Sparkes <pe...@didm.co.uk>]

Hi Robby,

Thank you for your help, however, my programming skills proved not to be up to doing as you suggested.

What I have done instead is using the techniques in:

http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/cocoon21/samples/blocks/forms/do-taskTree.flow

to eliminate the <br /> and replace them with sub paras as in "sub 1" and " sub 2" below:

  <p>para 1
        <p>sub 1</p>
        <p>sub 2</p>
  </p>

The xslt formatting the html pages will then format the sub paras appropriately.
