Hi all,
I'm trying to define a macro \Command which can either have four or
five arguments. If it has five, I want to define them as
\Command1[#1][#2][#3][#4]{#5}
if it has four, as
\Command2[#1][#2][#3]{4#}
I thought this would be the way to go:

Hi,
Is there a font dependant dimension, similar to 1em = width of an M,

Hi all,
for a presentation, I would like to have a series of images as
backgrounds for my slides, and I want to use them in a randomized
order. The images are named 1.jpg through 20.jpg. So I was
thinking of using this code:

Hi Hans,
my problem with \sometxt appears to be solved; I get properly aligned
labels again. Thanks a million!

Hans, thanks a lot for your reply. Amazing - the lua code is so simple

Hi all,
cleaning up the code in my module, I run into a very interesting
problem. I want to pass a user-defined value to Metapost. Until now,
the value scale had to be numeric, and I used it like this:
draw fullcircle scaled \MPvar{scale}mm
and Metapost was happy, and I was too. Now Aditya

You need to make the formats for these as well:
texexec --make --all --xtx
(and run texhash again after creating the formats; when you think
