I would like to revisit a topic that has come up from time to time over the years but really has not been solved. That is wrapping text around figures and their captions. I write and submit a lot of proposals that unfortunately have severe page limits. Using PSPIC for the figure and caption in a float to keep them together wastes a lot of space that I simply cannot afford to do.
The most recent discussion on this topic was in March 2009, and on the 27th Werner Lemberg posted a macro that gets much of the way there. Unfortunately, his macro has a bug where the figure is displaced to the right of where it should be. It also includes no means to accommodate a figure caption. (It is easy to add an option for the figure width.) Sadly I'm not able to do groff coding, or I would have a go at it myself. Would it be possible to solve this problem? I've used [t|g]roff for 30 years now, and it has done everything I need -- except for this. Unfortunately since our National Institutes of Health changed their proposal format and length (many are but six pages, and these can be million dollar proposals!) this is a killer. And no, the www macros are not good enough. Frank
