too long???

I've posted to the Innodata Isogen Web site a simple Saxon extension that lets you estimate the formatted length of a string. This lets you do this kind of simple copy fitting, such as making sure a list accomodates the longest term in a definition list.

You may have to register and create a user ID, for which I appologize--I have no influence on our marketing policies.
