Hi all,

Thanks for all your help, it was worth and timely. Now I have my thesis 
printed and ready for Monday morning (well some tweaks are still needed 
but they're not urgent now).

It seems related with the way that TeXmacs manages pages sizes. Finally 
it gets solved in some way using A4 paper size and proper margins.

When I tried that TeXmacs just crashes. Joris points me that I don't 
need to use spaces and points after width and length dimensions as is 
said on documentation. I translated a major part of the TeXmacs 
documentation to Spanish long time ago and may be I read that part, but 
I didn't remember yesterday. Would be nice if TeXmacs gives a hint about 
improper use of markup in minibuffer for page parameters for example.

No problem :-). When I was changing manually the tags on TeXmacs doc the 
editor says that it doesn't seems like utf-8 and in the translation to 
another format the Spanish accented characters get crazy.

I want, after Monday, change some things for the last printing:

* I would like to quit the word "Chapter" in the beginning of each 
character.
* I used long descriptive text on some images, but then is difficult to 
generate the Table of figures. Its possible to get a short text in the 
figures as a reference in the table of content, and at the same time, a 
longer descriptive text in their caption?
* The APA rules for documentation suggest a short title that could 
appear in all the pages, is this possible with TeXmacs?

Thanks a lot again and Cheers,

Offray
