put this in cont-new.tex (after \unprotect) \chardef\gridboxlinenomode\plusone \chardef\gridboxlinemode \plusone % 0:nothing 1:all 2:lines 3:frame \def\gridboxvbox {\ifcase\gridboxlinemode\vbox\or\ruledvbox\or\vbox\or\ruledvbox\else\ruledvbox\fi} \def\gridboxwidth{\ifcase\gridboxlinemode0\or.5\or.5\or0\else.5\fi\testrulewidth} \def\setgridbox#1#2#3% {\setbox#1\gridboxvbox to #3 % given size {\forgetall \resetteststrut \offinterlineskip \hsize#2% \baselinerulefalse \gridboxvbox % calculated size {\getrawnoflines{#3}% \getnoflines{#3}% \vskip\topskip \vskip-\strutht \scratchdimen#2\advance\scratchdimen \lineheight \dorecurse\noflines {\strut \hskip-.5\lineheight \ifcase\gridboxlinenomode\or \rlap {\hskip.2\bodyfontsize\hskip\scratchdimen \infofont\hbox to 1em{\hss\recurselevel}}% \or \llap {\infofont\hbox to 1em{\hss\recurselevel}% \hskip.2\bodyfontsize}% \fi \vrule \!!height \gridboxwidth \!!depth \gridboxwidth \!!width \scratchdimen \par}} \vfill}} \def\doshowgrid[#1]% {\chardef\showgridstate \plusone % downward compatible default \chardef\gridboxlinemode \plusone \chardef\gridboxlinenomode\plusone \processallactionsinset [#1]% [ \v!reset=>\chardef\showgridstate \zerocount, \v!bottom=>\chardef\showgridstate \plusone, \v!top=>\chardef\showgridstate \plustwo, \v!none=>\chardef\gridboxlinemode \zerocount, \v!all=>\chardef\gridboxlinemode \plusone, \v!lines=>\chardef\gridboxlinemode \plustwo, \v!frame=>\chardef\gridboxlinemode \plusthree, \v!nonumber=>\chardef\gridboxlinenomode\zerocount, \v!right=>\chardef\gridboxlinenomode\plusone, \v!left=>\chardef\gridboxlinenomode\plustwo]} now you can use keywords, like \showgrid[lines.left] \input tufte ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
