> I'm not sure how "rigid" these tables would be, ... I think my rough PDF sample shows that groff will format a side-by-side table item completely on a single page. If the side-by-side pair do not fit on one page, they force a page-break to the next one. The only place where I think you might have to manually format an item is if one side-by-side table item takes up _more_ than one page. -- Mike Bianchi 973 822-2085 mbian...@foveal.com
