Re: new markup remark.

[Juergen Reuter]

Hi!

Just wondering: wouldn't it me more consistent to rename "\line" into 
"\row"?  Then we have "\column" and "\row" as a complementary pair of 
commands.

Since there is currently a "word-space" property for "\line", maybe there 
should be an according property for "\row" for vertical spacing.  If you 
do not want to invent yet another property name, maybe one wants to call 
this property "cell-space" or "padding" or similar for both, "\column" and 
"\row".

Greetings,
Jürgen
