[cl-typesetting-devel] multi-page documents

Hello,

 I am thinking about how to tackle multi-page documents with
 cl-typesetting but am a bit stuck as to how to get started.

 Each page needs to end up inside a

   (pdf:with-page ... )

 right?

 So if we have a piece of content (made with typeset::compile-text),
 we need an intermediate step which figures out how to break that
 content into multiple pages, right?

 Or do we need a higher-level thing like "compile-document" which
 transforms into several "compile-text" forms?

 Anyway sorry if I'm thrashing a bit here but I just thought I would
 solicit a bit of discussion before diving in and tackling it. 

 Right now I am looking at a 7-page MS Word document to which I have
 to make some edits and am supposed to get to a customer by Monday,
 and if possible I would love to convert the whole thing into
 cl-typesetting and deliver a nice PDF on Monday ... ;)

Thanks,

 -dave
