Further questions about linenotes
Hi all, further experiments with linenotes have brought up two further questions; one specific, one general. Here comes: 1. Is it possible to have linenumbering automatically reset its numbering to 1 at the top of every page? I have a dim recollection that something along these lines was asked on the list recently, but can't find anything in the archive. 2. General: I had to experiment quite a bit with the before= and after= keys of \setupnote to make them really do what I wanted. Here's what I found: a. before=\blank[1cm] % texexec will fail with an error b. before={\blank[1cm]} % does nothing c. \def\myblank{\blank[1cm] before=\myblank % works I guess it has something to do with TeX's expansion mechanism, but I found it confusing, and I think (hope?) that others will find it a bit confusing too. Is this intentional, can it be made easier for users? All best Thomas

way=bypage should do that (hopefully)

dunno, i need a test file for that to see what happens / interferes H -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
