Hi,

If you think that in the current version layers are using too many resources, you're right and may patch:

\def\checkproperty[#1]% {\bgroup \def\currentproperty{#1}% \csname\??py\s!check\currentproperty\endcsname \egroup}

Hans, I tested this patch, but see no difference. For your convenience I include both source and output's, as much documented as I could. The pdf's show the macro in question used. Although the effect wanted (alternating backgrounds) can be reached with the alternating sequence of textbackground calls (apart from adding a \nowhitespace occasionally), I suppose you are a bit like me: perfection dictates that everything should behave well and as expected! Good luck with the debugging! Hans van der Meer
