Great! Could you then also repair the "align=left|right" issue?

no, because that would affect too many existing things also, you can use flushleft flushright center which more reflect the result ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

at the context meeting it was concluded that there is no reason for mkiv to be fully downward compatible.

one thing that i consider removing is the 'background=screen' option from \framed. After all, screens internally already are just grayscales and the old 'method' mechanism is no longer valid given postscript and pdf technologies

in practice it means that those who use it (in mkiv) will have to use colors (grayscales) instead (the last time that i used screens myself is sometime last century)

Can you now add left|right|top|bottomoffset to \framed.

maybe when core-rul gets two versions, mkii and mkiv (and even then i need to check for interferences); the whole structure system comes first (sectioning, lists, references, numbering, blocks etc) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
