Further to my previous posting to the list on this thread:
     is it actually necessary for SL to count the number of line  
items in an invoice?

It's kinda late here, so please just throw caffeine at me if I'm  
waaaaay off base with this, but it seems to me that SL does this  
because the "\begin{tabularx} ... <%foreach number%>  ... <%end number 
%> \end{tabularx}" table (ie the list of items being invoiced) might  
span multiple pages. The impression I get is that LaTeX can handle  
this natively using the longtable package.

I think that if the main invoicable items table is ported to  
longtable then <%itemnotes%> could be properly printed by SL. The  
itemnotes could be as long as the user wishes and there is no need to  
count them. More details will surely be in longtable.dvi, which I  
find to be installed on my system; I'll have a look at this & try  
using it tomorrow.

Any thoughts?
