Perhaps *I* should credit *you* in my paper! But then I suppose I would have to credit Bjarne Stroustrup for C++, Donald Knuth for TeX, Leslie Lamport for LaTeX, down to Gutenberg for the printing press... It would be a massacre. No, of course I can send the stuff to you when its done. But you might even more interested in this [1], namely, how it looks and works in an xelatex-compiled PDF (instead of pdflatex; xelatex is in the Debian texlive-xetex package). Cred to the people at comp.text.tex for helping me with that. >> Also, when typing, that typically screws up the >> figure, so can you make it insert text while >> simultaneously eating whitespace at the other end? > > This is what the venerable ‘overwrite-mode’ does. OK, silly me. Of course. (That, or something to that extent, is applied by default in the artist-mode, by the way.)
