setupformulas: make indentnext=auto the default?
The default for setupformulas is indentnext=no, at least from a couple experiments and this line in core-mat.tex (in version 2006.08.08): \c!indentnext=\v!no, What's the view on changing it to indentnext=auto, which seems intuitive at least if one is used to TeX or LaTeX? From the archives, it seems like 'auto' was the default a few years ago, but maybe there was reason to change it to 'no'. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

I do not know why 'indentnext' was changed to 'no'. I would also like the default to be changed to 'auto'. However, I do not know if it breaks backwards compatibility of someone else's existing project. You can ofcourse change it in your cont-sys.tex file, but remember to add it to your environment file if you want to share your documents with others. Aditya

normally i have no problems with changes that make thinsg look better (improvements in macros) however, this is a functional change and that's not going to happen if a lot of users want it, we can consider making some styles that use (and/or comment) different defaults, 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
