It works, but I prefer ConTeXt and the LaTeX version takes a painfully long time to converge on optimal column widths. I'm now using TeXLive 2009, rather than 2008 - has anything changed in ConTeXt that will meet these requirements? > > Can you show a example from the LaTeX output. If I remove a few sensitive items I can generate a sample PDF. Is this what you mean, Wolfgang? I've never seen attachments in mailing list - is that allowed? I could also include a link to it hosted somewhere else. That's probably the better solution but it will take a bit of time. The LaTeX itself is a series of templates with mixed Ruby code, and so it doesn't seem practical to post the LaTeX code itself. cheers, David Richardson ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
