Hi again TeXmacs folks,

I'm having trouble with line-wrapping of items inside floating figures, 
which is perhaps related to this thread, though what I've seen of this 
thread has not enlightened me as to a fix, since I'm not writing a macro.

See the attached .tm and .pdf for details.

Thanks for any help you can provide,
    Dave Wonnacott

  <chapter|In Which we Attempt a List in a Figure>

  I am trying to create a floating figure that contains a list in which the
  items may span several lines, but am having trouble because when I try this
  the items don't ``wrap''. This is with TeXmacs 1.0.7.3 running on Ubuntu
  10.04.

  Here, I create the figure --\<gtr\> <\float|float|tbh>
    <\big-figure>
      <label|fig-long-items>

      <\description-aligned>
        <item*|1a>Create a figure with Insert-\<gtr\>Page
        Insertion-\<gtr\>Floating figure

        <item*|1b>Label and caption the figure, just because I always do that

        <item*|2a>Create the list with the ``Aligned'' style

        <item*|2b>Other styles may demonstrate the problem; I've not checked

        <item*|2c>I'm using aligned because I happen to want slighly strange
        numbering

        <item*|3>Enter some really really long text, to demonstrate that it
        goes off into the margin rather than wrapping each line as I wanted
        it to.

        <item*|4>Create a simplified copy just giving these instructions, to
        veryify the problem

        <item*|5>Get help from TeXmacs-users mailing list.
      </description-aligned>

      \;
    </big-figure|The long-item list in a figure.>
  </float> \<less\>--, known as Figure <reference|fig-long-items>. Note the
  problem reading all of Step 3.

  Here is a copy of the content of the figure, which line-wraps just fine:

  <\description-aligned>
    <item*|1a>Create a figure with Insert-\<gtr\>Page
    Insertion-\<gtr\>Floating figure

    <item*|1b>Label and caption the figure, just because I always do that

    <item*|2a>Create the list with the ``Aligned'' style

    <item*|2b>Other styles may demonstrate the problem; I've not checked

    <item*|2c>I'm using aligned because I happen to want slighly strange
    numbering

    <item*|3>Enter some really really long text, to demonstrate that it goes
    off into the margin rather than wrapping each line as I wanted it to.
