I traded a few emails off list with Chad and he seems to basically be
only interested in telling everyone how wrong they are and how he
doesn't understand our 'inadequate' explanations.

Just killfile the annoying bastard, you've explained symbols great already.

By the way, I'm currently working on a sort of abstract document class
for Ruport that will let you use XML, YAML or pure ruby to set up a
structured document and then output it as a PDF using your library, or
in other formats.

I thought you might find that interesting.  Ruport will soon depend on
PDF::Writer, as I'm going to begin putting some major PDF support to
it.  If i make any progress in the way of things that can be
generalized down and put into PDF::Writer (such as charts), I'll let
you know.

Any word on the SVG status in PDF::Writer?

Cheers,
Greg
