Seeking 'layout' corpora
************************

We are investigating the role of layout features such as lists,
tables, indenting, and placing of figures in the information structure
of documents. We have a corpus of public information leaflets, and
are analysing the use of different layout objects with a view to using
Natural Language Generation techniques to produce the layout as well
as text of leaflets automatically.

Can anyone direct us to corpora containing material where layout plays
a major role and where particular attention has been paid to markup of
layout objects?

Thank you,
