366.0. "<QPAIR> IN GENERAL FORMAT?" by TOPDOC::HODGMAN () Tue May 12 1987 17:02

I am converting a large GENERAL-format book to DOCUMENT T1. 

In the BL6 version of the book, I used <QPAIR> and <QLIST> to create 
several organization charts.  Unfortunately, in T1 these two tags 
are not supported in the GENERAL book type (these tags are supported 
in the SOFTWARE book types, which are inappropriate for this document). 

The <QPAIR> and <QLIST> tags did a beautiful job of creating 
the following format:

             DEPARTMENT TITLE - Manager's Name

 _________________________________________________________

      GROUP NAME                          Manager

      GROUP NAME                          Manager

      GROUP NAME                          Manager


I have been unable to find a way to create this effect with 
T1 tags. For example, the <TABLE> command inserts a table title 
and number and is, therefore, not usable.  It also inserts a 
final rule and uses smaller typeface. 

The organization charts fall at different places within the 
book so I cannot process them separately.

Is there any way to create the required effect with the 
GENERAL book type in T1?

366.1maybe you can use table..VAXUUM::OTTEWed May 13 1987 17:4815
    If you omit the <table_heads> tag when you construct your table,
    you won't get rules in your table, and if you code the <table> tag
    without any arguments (<table>) you won't get a title for the table
    or a number for it.
    
    I use informal tables like this all the time for this sort of
    information.
    
    To get the first item centered and the rest in two columns, code
    it using the <span> tag in that table row, or preceed the table
    with a <chead> tag.
