Thanks to all. (Thomas, I keep on customizing the presentation template you sent me one year ago...) -a- On 19 Jun 2006, at 17:40, Hans Hagen wrote:

Thanks Thomas, it works nice. I still have not understood: what does \strut mean? Best -a- On 19 Jun 2006, at 17:45, Thomas A. Schmitz wrote:

Andrea, I'm not a real expert, but what I've understood: \strut is an invisible character with no width but the maximum lineheight (cont-eni, p. 72). TeX discards glue such as \vfill or \hfill at the beginning of horizontal or vertical boxes, so you have to fool it into believing there is something before your \vfill. You could have an empty \vbox, but \strut is the fastest and easiest way of achieving this. HTH Thomas On Mon, 2006-06-19 at 17:55 +0200, andrea valle wrote:

A strut is something with height and depth which is not really what you want, because it takes some vertical space away. Ususally what I use is a TeX primitive "\null" that typesets an empty box; I don't think its typesetting will differ significantly from typesetting a strut: \page \null \vfill text \vfill \null \page Hans van der Meer On Jun 19, 2006, at 18:56, Thomas A.

indeed, but here i always use \startstandardmakeup \vfill text \vfill \stopstandardmakeup one never knows what side effects \null can have, after all, it is a line Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

in addition to this: using \showstruts will make struts visible ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
