I'm not sure if balloons are available in all viewers. \startcomment hello beautiful\\world \stopcommentaar \startcomment[hello] hello \<< \'e\'erste \>> beautiful world \stopcomment \startcomment[hallo][color=green,width=4cm,height=3cm] hello \<< \'e\'erste \>> beautiful world \stopcomment \startcomment[hello][color=green,width=4cm,height=3cm] hello \<< \'e\'erste \>> beautiful world \stopcomment \startcomment[symbol=Balloon] Do we want this kind of rubish? And, why isn't this and some more features related to text annotations so poorly (actually not) documented? Anyhow, by providing this functionality we demonstrate that \pdfTeX\ can do it. By the way, it's funny that when in Acrobat we scale up the text, the symbols scale down. \stopcomment >(Let's just assume that no more than one comment are available per line) Why. They now stack in the margin, unless you use the \comment alternative inline. Isn't this in the up to date document? I should check -) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
