Hi all,
I'm using private macro for title of section:
\setuphead[section][command=\doTitle]
and if I typeset inside this \doTitle#1#2 something like (test code):
\vbox to 0pt{ \hsize=3cm \hbox{\vtop{#1}\vtop{#2}} \hbox{\vtop{X} \vtop{The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.}} \vss }
I get two boxes -- the first (made from #1 and #2) NOT aligning the first lines of vtop's (#1 is higher) and the second, which is aligned as I expect -- both "X" and "The quick..." in the one "line".
So I traced data coming into #2 and content of \vtop filled with it and I saw the #2 contains some vertical glue at the beginning.
What should I do to avoid this behaviour? (excluding splitting of the resulting box using low level TeX primitives :-),
have a nice day and thanks,
\showstruts \def\doTitle#1#2% {\ruledvbox {\forgetall \hsize=4cm \ruledhbox{\ruledvtop{#1}\ruledvtop{\noindent#2}}}} try this with and without \noindent The interfering factor is (are) a couple of write nodes needed for the list. I'll see if i can make a workaround (quite dangerous to path such code; has to do with timing, so i've now made \chardef\headtimingmode=1 for testing purposes) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
