Hello all,
I have a small formatting problem. I want to do something like
Keyword --- a short explanation that might run over several lines,
and hence should be treated as an ordinary paragraph.
A more elaborate exposition, possibly consisting of multiple
paragraphs.
Another keyword --- and so on...
This obviously is a kind of list. But @TaggedList with @DropTagItem
doesn't work: it apparently treats the tag as if contained in @OneCol.
(Not quite, however, since the tag text runs `off the paper' on the
right hand side. Even stranger, in plain text mode the rest of the
tag text is displayed on the *previous line*. Is this a bug?)
Am I perhaps overlooking a simple way to get the desired format?
A related question: I'd like to use
xxx Again, this is an ordinary paragraph, with the left margin
xxx indented by @ParaIndent. The `xxx' stands for an arbitrary
object (e.g. a @Fig figure), the *top* of which should be
aligned with the top of this paragraph.
Is there a simple way to do this?
And finally: is it possible to use ordinary text within equations? I'd
like to be able to say something like
{ -1 for negative x
x = { 0 if x is zero
{ 1 for positive x
The simplest way to write this down would be to use
@Eq { minus 1 @XXX { for negative } x }
where @XXX is the operator I'm looking for.
Groetjes,
