Wow, this is terrific. Thanks!
On an unrelated note, there's another thing I can't seem to figure out how
to do, and that is to insert a full-page illustration in the middle of a lot
of text. (I'm using 'mom' and 'mwww', by the way.) I know how to use the
www module's .PIMG to put an image somewhere, but:
- The text won't flow around it (.MPIMG is unavailable to me, since I'm
going to postscript).
- I don't know where to put the image within the text, since basically I
want a full-page-sized image to start on wherever a natural page break
happens to land, not some specific point within the text.
For example, some way to say "display this image as soon as the next natural
page break occurs, then continue the text after the image" would be exactly
what I need. But if that's not possible, maybe there is some other way to
accomplish this, I don't know.
Basically this is for a novel with illustrations. In a pinch, I can insert
the illustrations on chapter breaks, where I'm specifically inserting a hard
page break anyway, but I'd rather have the freedom to put them within
chapters if I can. Any thoughts?
Thanks again for the underlining help!
