[reportlab-users] Styling within platypus flowables

[Nick Moffitt]

Given that we're now clearer on what sort of page layout I'm describing,
is there any advice on how best to handle this sort of layout with
platypus?  Or should I just stick to writing to the canvas directly, and
do my own reflowing and line/page breaking by hand?
