691.0. "Line Art & Subscripts ??" by SHEMP::HASSAN () Sat Jul 18 1987 20:19

   I have created some "line-art" tables eg.
    
    +-----------+--------+
    |    abc    |   def  |
    +-----------+--------+
    
    However when I use subscripts the rows will not line up
    (ie. a<subscript>(bc) will cause the following)
    
    +-----------+--------+
    |    abc   |   def  |         (bc is subscripted)
    +-----------+--------+
    
    Is there any way I could still use subscripts within line art and
    not lose allignment ????
    
    Thanks

691.2A new one; wish-listedCLOSET::ANKLAMMon Aug 10 1987 16:277
    
    Sorry, I think the answer is that there is no way in V1.0 to
    subscript characters in line-art mode. I will put this on the
    wishlist to look at.

691.3Try this line-artCURLEY::HASSANFri Aug 14 1987 17:4330
    
    Subscripted characters will work in line-art, the problem is that
    DOCUMENT inists on using variable character spacing (letter 'i'
    takes less width that letter 'w').
    
    Here is an example of I am doing:

<line_art>
            __//_____          ____//_________
DRQ H    __/ //      \________/   //          \___________________
                  |<>|
           _____  |T<subscript>(drq)               _____                      _
UP_ALE H _/     \_|_________|___|____/     \____________________/
                  |<--T<subscript>(wl)-->|<->|<-T<subscript>(bc)-->|
         _____|   |         |T<subscript>(rc)|________|                  ______
UP_CS L       \___|_________|___/        \_________________/
        ______|___|         |___|________|___           __________
UP_WR L       |   \_________/   |            \_________/
              |   |         |  ||
UP_DAL  ------<literal>(<ADR>< VALDAT|>)---------<literal>(<ADR>< VALDAT>)--------
              |   |         |  |
              |   |         |  |
              |<->|         |<>|
              T<subscript>(crw)          T<subscript>(hld)
<endline_art>

Thanks for the reply (thought I would never get one).
