Who wrote that, why and after what discussion? (That is not what the abc2mtex * means). For me it would be a pain in the arse. If you want to use * for anything, use it for the bracketed things (which I won't write anyway so I don't care how ugly they are). > Deprecated line breaking > The abc2win program used a `!' character to force line > breaks, as is currently supported with the * operator > (see section Line breaking). Deprecate !<text>! instead. > Users should avoid using ! line breaks together with > !...! symbols. Easy enough, I have no intention of ever using those symbols. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack> * food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM "Embro, Embro". ------> off-list mail to "j-c" rather than "abc" at this site, please <------ To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
