hi all

i am asked for more fantasy in the presentation

as saiy my editor "texmacs and company are good for formulas but too academic in the style…"

they want me to put more fantasy

some ideas :

- some parts of the text in a rectangle; but i dont see any possibility for long parts of text so.. because a rectangle is an object and texmacs wont be able to split it across two pages; will it ?

- a vertical line like this

normal text

| remark

| following of the remark

normal text

is there a means to create such lined text easily, with the possibilité of page breaks inside the | ?

- some titles in grey-background rectangles.. is it possible ?

- changing font of some part of the text; for example of each paragraph dealing with commentars

- no color allowed

- using some "flowered" characters; that is still possible i think, by looking across in the mathmeatical menus

- using some logos (like careful ! with a "!" in a triangle) with inserted little pictures or "flowered" characters

- using some greycolored font, something like more clear letters in some parts of the document. How to do this ?

- writing with more tiny characters whole parts of the book. Do the <***|text> let manage more than setences, that is to say serveral pages without typing the instruction <|> everywhere at each new paragraph and is it possible, on certain pages, to change the font of the text and of the formulaes in the same time ?

- how can i change the font of the legends "figure 1, figure 2" etc.

i would be interested to have anserwers to the question above and eventually other ideas

good night
