Help with \setuplayout[grid=yes]
Hi all, Attached is an example showing my misunderstanding about grid alignment. The attached works as expected when \setuplayout[grid=no] is used or the 'Author table' is commented out. The inclusion of the little table in the text is really just to convince myself that I can have a table with the grid enabled. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

\placeongrid{% or e.g. \placeongrid[{broad,high}]{% your table } vit

Many thanks for the suggestion Vit. In this case, however, I've split the \starttable and \stoptable commands in the \startAuthors and \stopAuthors definitions which may well be the root of my problem. This means that I cannot easily wrap the whole table with \placeongrid{ }. I cannot see a way of getting the \domoveongrid and/or \snaptogrid\vbox to work either. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can clean this up so that \starttable and \stoptable are not in separate definitions but I can still use variables to define the table elements as is done in the \Authors definition? Cheers, Randall
\placeongrid{% or e.g. \placeongrid[{broad,high}]{% your table }

This should do the trick: \def\startAuthors{% \placeongrid\bgroup ...<>... } \def\stopAuthors{% ...<>... \egroup } Taco

OK, in this case use in \startAuthor \placeongrid[...]\bgroup and in \stopAuthor \egroup cheers vit

One more quick question. When using a grid, I gather that I should wrap all floating content (tables & figures in my case) with \placeongrid to ensure \snaptogrid is being used. Does this also apply to formulae? i.e. should I be using: \placeformula \placeongrid{% \startformula ... \stopformula } Thanks, Randall

no, actually most environments hald grids themselves (for math on grid, see details.pdf) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
