Hallo!
In order to understand the appended puzzle, I am looking for documentations about:
\definefonthandling \startfonthandling \usehandling
I have found the example about 'hanging punctuation', but I could'nt even understand this example. What ist the correlation between 'punctuation', 'alpha' and 'def'????
hanging punctuation is the traditional simple model of - , ; : . and ! hanging into the margin; pdftex goes beyond that and let's you hang any char into the margin, so this is why we speak of character protruding; fonthandling in context is currently used for hanging things but can be used for anything font related; the alpha, def etc setups are more or less derived from my personal prferences, thanh's thesis etc What you use all depends on your taste 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
