I gave a look at the draft, and I have two questions: 1) When placing overlays in specific points of specific pages, is it possible to have the text flow automagically around them, even in odd situations? Situations like: +-----------------------------------+ |.................|.................| |.................|.................| |.................|.................| |.........+---------------+.........| |.........| |.........| |.........| |.........| |.........| |.........| |.........+---------------+.........| |.................|.................| |.................|.................| |.................|.................| |.................|.................| |.................|.................| +-----------------------------------+ (two column document, with picture or other object in the middle of the page and text flowing around pictue). 2) Is the new OTR implemented, or is the new feature a feature of the old OTR?
