Hi,

I downloaded reportlab a couple of days ago, and am just getting to grips 
with it.  I have read through the docs and some of the example source code, 
and it looks really cool.

One question I have (probably the first of many) is what is the best way to 
generate outline/bookmark entries from Platypus?  The docs only show how to 
generate them when using the canvas directly.  I know it can be done 
because the userguide itself is created using Platypus, but I could not 
find in the source code where it happens.

My guess it that the best way to do it would be to create an ActionFlowable 
class that inserted a bookmark at the appropriate point, but I do not yet 
know enough about the internals to be able to write one, and I would be 
surprised if it had not been done already.

Sorry if this has been answered in the past, but the mailing list archive 
is not searchable and my brief scan through did not throw up any posts on 
this topic.

Regards,
