Subject:Text alignment and good/bad ideas. From:Reuven Frank <reuven -at- E-AND-C -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 29 Jul 1998 09:10:59 +0200
Dear Dick
I just hate it when you're reasonable.
Especially when you're right. too.
Text alignment does get out of hand when continuously more and further indented. In fact, I sem to recall a document where that was done which was rejected for publication. I think that this particular document is supposed to be an "internal"
Still, better to go with sense than style.
Thanks for the advice.
It makes good sense.
You're hired.
"Wisdom begins when you discover the difference between
'That doesn't make sense' and "I don't understand.' "
-Children of God, by Mary Doria Russell; pg 142-143
PS--I know what an ampersand is. What the h-ll is a "virgule?"
Thanks again,
