I've already got my formulas for any size I provide on the command line like: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- .in (\n[.l]u + 2i - 7.4c) .if (\n[dl]u > 5.4c) .in (\n[.l]u + 2i - 0.5c - 1c - \n[dl]u) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Your example will surely help me. Thanks a lot. I'll publish my macro As soon as I polish it. -- Było mi bardzo miło. --- Rurku. --- ... >Łukasz< --- To dobrze, że mnie słuchasz.
