You're right, sorry. I am interested in 1. How useful is it In advi, you can hit w to switch between document view and sliced view. I find it very useful (since otherwise I think it must be done withing emacs). What's more, the default mode (slice by section) is a bit puzzling for people who would like to see the real layout. Moreover, it is documented, and the user can be surprised that it doesn't work (which was my case). 2. Would it break existing behavior? This advice actually comes straigth from upstream (I'm his phd student). If you browse the source, you will notice that this value will be set to false for any viewer which is not advi (barring any bug). So the change should have no effect, except for advi. -- Boris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
