Hello,
My department
headings are to be index entries. They are printed with a @CenteredList and
each
department as
"@ListItem { cragged @Break {department name}}." This works fine, taking
care of
breaking the long
department names over several lines, as needed.
Now the customer
wants each index entry to be prefixed by a plus sign (+) at the left of the
column
and the department
name still centered as above. I changed from a @ListItem
to:
def @CMCE
named cm { @Char space
}
named str
{}
{
cm
|0.5rt { str }
}
@CMCE cm { @Char plus } str {Department Name}
This works fine if
the department name is less than one column width wide. Otherwise I get
the
message:
29,1: 10.575c object horizontally scaled by factor 0.59 (too wide for 6.330c
paragraph)
and that department name is all on one line.
I
tried:
def @CMCE
named cm { @Char space
}
named str
{}
{
cm
|0.5rt { cragged @Break { str }}
}
but that didn't
help.
What the customer
wants is similar to a "Change Bar," but on each column, not just the
page.
Thank you very
much,
Ed James,
Contractor
