Hello,
David's excellent example about changebars made me curious and so I am experimenting with Prince's JavaScript engine now. The Box-tracking API is really great for finding out more about the layout of a document.
However, I have one specific question: how do I detect whether a column break appeared between two boxes (box 1 on the left column, box 2 on the right)? I guess that's not possible, because only the coordinates change, am I right? Or is there an attribute that gives a hint about the next box (the following box) will appear in a different column?
Greetings,
John
