Hi all ! let us imagine we have defined the following command: \def\SideFigure#1#2#3#4#5% { \placefigure[#1]{#2}{\externalfigure[#3][width=#4\makeupwidth]} #5 } which can be used to put a figure aside a companion text... but, what happens if the text is to be typed... ?? I guess this won't work: \SideFigure{right}{pack2}{../figures/tcltk/pack2.jpg}{0.25} { \starttyping pack .ok .cancel .help -side top \stoptyping } How can I make it to work? thanks ! ------------------------------------------------- Jose Ignacio Marín Alberdi Bayes Inference, S.A. c/ Gran Vía, Nº39, 5º, E-28013 MADRID Tfn (91) 532.74.40, Fax (91) 532.26.36 ------------------------------------------------- email: jimarin@bayesinf.com -------------------------------------------------
