136.0. "Question on WIDE in FIGURES" by ATLAST::BOUKNIGHT (Everything has an outline) Sat Mar 21 1987 19:36

    In <FIGURE_ATTRIBUTES>, one of the parameters is WIDE.  In
    <FIGURE_FILE>, the is also a WIDE parameter.  Is there any difference
    between these two? If the attributes tag contains WIDE, do we need
    to put it in the FIGURE_FILE tag also?

136.1WIDE on both <figure> and <figure_file>CLOSET::ANKLAMMon Mar 23 1987 09:088
    
    Yes, you do, for the same reason that if you have a wide <code_example>
    in a figure, both the <figure> and <code_example> tags must have
    the WIDE attribute. I will put this on the list of things to see
    if it can be handled automatically, but it's going to be a low
    priority.

1.  What's the explicit reason?  Because that's the just the way that DOCUMENT
    currently handles it?  Is WIDE not recognized if you don't do it this way?
    Does processing fail?

2.  Are *both* of the following true?

    a.  Specifying <FIGURE_ATTRIBUTES>(WIDE) requires that you also
        specify <FIGURE_FILE>(...\WIDE), assuming you want to include
        an external file.
  
    b.  Specifying <FIGURE_FILE>(...\WIDE) requires that you also *always*
        specify <FIGURE_ATTRIBUTES>(WIDE).

136.3more...CLOSET::ANKLAMFri Apr 10 1987 11:158
    
    The reason that WIDE must be specified in both is that WIDE in
    the figure attributes controls the position of the figure caption,
    and WIDE in the monospaced example controls the position of the
    example.

136.4Then rules and long captions are affected?COOKIE::JOHNSTONFri Apr 10 1987 13:479
So by controlling WIDE in the caption, the rule that follows the caption is
widened, as well as allowing a really long caption name?

If the rule is not affected and v e r y  l o n g  c a p t i o n s are not used,
it seems that the two WIDES wouldn't be required.

136.5does not apply to caption textCLOSET::ANKLAMMon Apr 13 1987 09:357
    
    WIDE has no effect on the caption text (it can be as long as you
    want it, regardless whether you call the figure wide, and it will
    format correctly), but on the left margin at which the caption and
    the rule (if any) are placed.
