it pas back to play a while with \framed since it is used all over the
place
\framed[offset=overlay,align=normal]{\input tufte\relax}
\framed[offset=none,align=normal]{\input tufte\relax}
\framed[offset=3cm,align=normal]{\input tufte\relax}
However,anyhow.. I put it, but it has no effect
I use contex from tetex from SuSe 9.1, should I move to TeXlive+pragma?
Or is just something relate to my .tex file?
hm, i'm not sure if that version has layers, often linxu distributions
are behind

the best appoach is to typeset the doc and poster indepently, see
attached file
it's far from perfect but it shows the idea; now, if you (and maybe
others) can cook up specs of what you want, i can make a series of
s-pos-*.tex files that you can then built upon; a kind of on-line
tutorial in style writing; when done, you can write a myway document an
article for the maps -)
not sure if I am ready to understand all but I'll be working on..
on what I consider a rather more advanced approch respect to my
experience than your previous poster template with which I have been
almost able to reproduce (with better typo and easy composition) a
previous openoffice work..

I don't think there is an 'easy and minimal way' atm, especially not for pdftex which needs a number of libraries available at compile time. > 2) Basically, I want to learn a little about the internals of pdfTeX to > investigate if I can take the PDF specific C source code out of it and Isolation would be very hard I believe. pdftex makes changes all over (e.g. to allow justification improvements and creation of arbitrary pdf objects). > somehow use then in the TeX++ project (which is a reincarnation of CommonTeX, > which was an implementation of TeX written in C from scratch by Pat Monardo). Tell me more (off-list), it seems we are doing more or less the same thing! You might want to look at the sources on this location: http://www.metatex.org/ The CXTeX sources are not bug-free, but it compiles usable pdf documents cf. "pdfetex". They are based on a manual conversion (by me) of the web sources. It is a lot easier to setup than a full blown TeX installation, but it does use autoconf, so it will need some work to get it compile without msys/cygwin.
