[reportlab-users] Nested Flowables?

[Kevin D Smith]

I'm working on a renderer that needs to handle nested flowables.  I essentially want to be able to render something equivalent to the following:

    <div>
        <div>
            <span>text</span>
            <div>
                <span>more text</span>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

where each div can have its own borders and padding and can break across a page.  I've got the page breaking worked out, but drawing on the page is giving me some trouble.  I'm not exactly sure where I am on the page when I start drawing.  I did some random translations just to get something on the page and I found out that I needed to translate by -380 vertically to get my content in the right place.  I also had trouble drawing each piece within a nested div.  I'm trying to figure out where I left off on the previously drawn div, but it isn't working as well as I had hoped.  If someone can enlighten me on what might be going wrong, I'd appreciate it.
