RE: Re: Using command in section

["Martin Kolarík" <martin@mii.cz>]

Thank you,

I will test it and I suppose your solution will work. But I think that
simple TeX-only solution should work too. Maybe I am a bit foolish :-) if I
try to do things as simple as possible and if I try to use thing with
understanding them...

The behaviour surprised me and as I did not expect it, I discussed it here.
And sure, if it is a feature, I really should use \tbox :-)

Have a nice day,

Martin
