<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi Ken,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You are quite right, of course. I was
playing around with different ways of causing the change in page geometry
and forgot that pmsi uses a wrapper rather than a switch signal.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">For some applications I think a switch
signal is preferable to a wrapper:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. It is more flexible, as transitions
do not need to be balanced</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. The return to the original pageset
is sometimes not wanted, especially if the first page has different headers
and footers</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3. If several elements in succession
need to be in A3, then they can all be included in one pageset (if they
are in different pagesets blank pages could be emitted to keep the number
of sides even)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">One the other hand I can see that a
wrapper has other advantages, and for many will be easier to implement.</font>
<br>

Yes, and the PSMI would be used for the nested B above.<br>

Careful! You've used PSMI above as if it were a signal of some kind,
when <br>
it isn't ... it is a wrapper ... you'll have to mimic what I quoted from
<br>
you first above:<br>
<br>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="A4Portrait"><br>
<fo:flow<br>
A<br>
<psmi:page-sequence master-reference="A3Landscape"><br>
<fo:flow<br>
B<br>
</fo:flow<br>
</psmi:page-sequence<br>
C<br>
</fo:flow<br>
</fo:page-sequence<br>
<br>
I hope this helps.<br>
