I forget if I already replied with how nifty this is. I spotlighted it, I put in
a news article at ILTCO (we're having some domain problems right now, a
temporary url is iltco.northcomp.com) and I added it to the .trains header
That ought to show my admiration for this, I think.
Anyhow... How mandatory is the bridging of the three outputs together? Can one
just route the three outputs independently to different layout sections? Or is
it key that they be connected together close to the source?
