397.0. "Note without a title?" by COOKIE::WITHERS (Le plus ca change...) Tue May 19 1987 18:56

Is there a better way to do the following?

In the MEMO doctype, I was trying to get a note without a title.  In the
document I was producing, I needed to list a definition as a quotation so
that it appeared as 

		To be or not to be?
		That is the question!

The problem that arrises in MEMO is that <NOTE>() generates a note heading
of NOTE.  The documentation doesnt say how to suppress this, but I've
found that the following works (unfortunately leaving a blamk line):

<NOTE>(<EMPHASIS>())

As a workaround, this is OK (I got my memo out) - is there a more
supported ``official'' way to do this?

Thanks!
BobW

    It won't exactly center the text, but you could use
    
    <line>(indent\3\smallskip)
    To be or not to be?
    <line>(Indent\3)
    That is the question.
    
    ?? Note that <line> is a concession to the need for flexibility
    in formatting that generic markup languages usually lack. Since
    it is a formatting tag, there's not going to be any confusion as
    to what that <note>(<emphasis>()) is doing the file! (And it
    would certainly do different things in different document designs.)

    Thank you very much.
    
    I just wanted to say that I appreciate the interactive nature of
    this conference and the feedback of the implimentors.  As Rose pointed
    out to me, I tend to want to do out-of-the-ordinary things with
    DOCUMENT and I appreciate both the ability to report bugs and the
    responsiveness of the engineering organization.
