Ah. I probably should have been a bit clearer in my original email - not 
the <inlinegraphic> element itself, just the "class" attribute which had 
been added to the element within the PostGIS documentation. (Although as 
you quite rightly point out, it is deprecated in v5).

I did have a quick look at FOP, but then got cold feet when I realised 
I'd have to install a load of Java packages at the same time. Hence the 
quick fix of putting the OpenJade system back into place, so at least 
there is something to work with until someone can come up with something 
better (if applicable) ;)


ATB,
