??: Topic Name.....(padding chars)......Page Number

[John Burton]

Hello Cee Ess Essers,

I'm prepending a TOC to a large HTML file derived from a CHM so that the
whole mess can be converted to PDF. The topic names will of course be of
different lengths. I would like to have a row of dots, dashes, whatever, in
between the topic names and page numbers to assist in visual alignment:

My Topic..................................88
Another Topic Yadda................96

Absolute positioning works fine on the page numbers. Is there a way to cause
the text background to be opaque so that the rows of dots won't show thru?
Or whatever?

John
