Hi Marcin,

At the first CoTeXt meetin i gave a presentation on this subject. But  
I can't find the link on the wiki ;-(

For this purpose I prepared a sample file, with wich  you can easily  
test the different outcomes. I attach this file. I hope that will  
help to answer your questions.

Willi
