But I am a little wary of having lots of (it could be some 30-50) files of size 16-600bytes on a system with 1K blocks as its smallest file storage unit. That is 30+K for what might only be 2K of real data, and that is before I have to go and put all this into RCS. > Whether you display equations as bitmap graphic or PS/EPS > vector, there'll > still be a problem with some uses of the document, because > what is -- in the > source -- highly structured have become an opaque blob in the > presentation. > You can't point to or from structural parts of the equation. > Also, how do > you align the style (font, size) of the body text and the > style (font, size) > of the equation? Which is why we want the mark-up. Though, you could use the present textobject for the links as long as you did not mind the lack of automatic propagation of changes. > -----Original Message----- > From: M.
