Help with \setuplayout[grid=yes]

Help with \setuplayout[grid=yes]

[Randall Skelton]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2685 bytes --]

Hi all,

Attached is an example showing my misunderstanding about grid alignment. The 
attached works as expected when \setuplayout[grid=no] is used or the 'Author 
table' is commented out. The inclusion of the little table in the text is 
really just to convince myself that I can have a table with the grid 
enabled.

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Randall

Many thanks for the suggestion Vit. In this case, however, I've split the 
\starttable and \stoptable commands in the \startAuthors and \stopAuthors 
definitions which may well be the root of my problem. This means that I 
cannot easily wrap the whole table with \placeongrid{ }. I cannot see a way 
of getting the \domoveongrid and/or \snaptogrid\vbox to work either.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can clean this up so that 
\starttable and \stoptable are not in separate definitions but I can still 
use variables to define the table elements as is done in the \Authors 
definition?

Cheers,
Randall

[Taco Hoekwater]

This should do the trick:

  \def\startAuthors{%
     \placeongrid\bgroup
      ...<>...
   }

  \def\stopAuthors{%
     ...<>...
     \egroup
   }

OK, in this case use in \startAuthor

   \placeongrid[...]\bgroup

and in \stopAuthor

   \egroup

One more quick question. When using a grid, I gather that I should wrap all 
floating content (tables & figures in my case) with \placeongrid to ensure 
\snaptogrid is being used. Does this also apply to formulae? i.e. should I 
be using:

\placeformula
\placeongrid{%
\startformula 
... 
\stopformula
}

Thanks,
Randall

no, actually most environments hald grids themselves (for math on grid, see details.pdf)
