* "Horizontal Column" Layout? @ 2000-12-20 18:45 Hraban 2000-12-21 8:52 ` Taco Hoekwater 2000-12-21 9:30 ` Hans Hagen 0 siblings, 2 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: Hraban @ 2000-12-20 18:45 UTC (permalink / raw) Heigh ho! I catched a mail from the german TeX ML, forwarded from a LyX list... I'd like to answer (once again), that this is an easy task for ConTeXt. May I? ;-) --- start forward --- I mean, the top half of the page should contain the main text, the other half should contain footnotes. Lines in the main text should be numbered every 5th (not all lines, the standard edition works in that funny way). But footnotes should refer the real line number (no marks, not autonumbered, the footnote has to refer just the line number in the current page) I have no clue how can it be done, and I know lots of philologists looking for the same answer. LA Garcia --- stop forward --- Someone suggested a plain TeX solution named edmac.

May I? ;-) Watch out with this stuff :-). Two hours later someone wants footnotes to the footnotes and all of sudden you are stuck (this is one of the things edmac does very well). -- groeten, Taco ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
