    Recently, when a space insertion is located in the endline, there is no trace and bar displayed in Xyview. I would suggest to add an option in JT/DT to choose to display it or not to display it for different purpose.

    Yes we currently do have Perl as the default replacement for the XPP macro language when we are using CSS (and that is nice and works fine). But the natural companion to CSS is JavaScript and not Perl. So it makes a lot more sense to build the future...

    To be able to control appearance, position and any other configurable features of PathFinder via a resource file (aka XYwyg or .ini) Perhaps the 'configurable features' should be a separate idea post? At a minimum, such a file should enable the size...
