Thanks Hraban,
These don't work though... It appears that a decimal will work with a
dimension (like em) but not with small. \blank[0.5*small] causes this "fatal
error":
["lasttexerror"]="! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted)",
I had tried em then pt, then mm. But it won't get any smaller than small = 3mm
= 10pt = 0.9em = small. Except packed, that is...
Surely there is something in between small and packed??
I looked at the Command/blank page multiple times and searched the wiki and the
web in every way I could think of. I only ask the list when I absolutely can't
find anything. (Of course, at least once, it was there where I had already
looked but I didn't understand enough to realize it!) I even gave searching
the mailing list archives a shot.
Thanks again!
