While playing with TeX the other day, including some graphs, I wondered
if the following was posible and how to do it in TeX.
|<----full width of page ----->|
Start a paragraph at the normal
width and go down the page, then
at some random point issue the
command \fig{} and at the end of
the line, the
left margin
would be moved
over for a
figure or
\special.
After enough
space was made
for the picture, the paragraph
would go back to normal.
This would be for primarily small figures 2in x 2in. on a 6.5in page.
The problem is to arbirarily get tex to wait for the end of line and
then make two vboxes, one for the pic, one for the text and only put
the required amount of text on the right, and then go back to normal.
Thanks to all for the help.
