Re: Getting textShift To Shift Down?

Tested now and it works here: LC 's textshift does exactly what it *can* do (with the primitive typesetting system of HTML which it uses): [1] It takes the baseline, moves the chunk relative to that up or down, leaving the surrounding text on that baseline. [2] After that it gives the whole

Getting textShift To Shift Down?

Anyone have any insight on getting textShift to shift text downward? I need to vertically align blocks text on a line that use different fonts. Whether I select a block of text, or all the text around the selection, things shift up, but never down. Here's a simple stack that demonstrates the

Re: Getting textShift To Shift Down?

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately no -- I have the field set up as a table which needs a specific top margin so the first line is spaced down a distance equal to all lines in the field. As often happens, Bernd N figured out an arrangement that allows downward shifting of text, but

Re: Getting textShift To Shift Down?

Unfortunately, what textShift *should* be doing, and what's it's actually doing are two different things. Trying my simple test stack in 5.5, 6.7.8, and 8 dp 11 shows the same behavior, so apparently this has been broken forever. TextShift should never adjust the lines around a selection, but

Re: Getting textShift To Shift Down?

Right out from my head, can not test at the moment. The hard way: The direct input of the htmltext should always work (as long as your on one line with the chunk). wordOne put me down wordThree" -- down wordOne put me down wordThree" -- up If I remember right "sup" instead of "sub" (what
