Re: OT: where lines align

Hi

Frank Mittlebach managed to implement this in some (experimental) code 
which also looked at better float placement in single- or multi-column 
documents.
See his article on the topic 
<http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb21-3/tb68mittel.pdf> for an 
example of its use. You can get it from the Experimental Code section 
of the latex-project.org website. It is in experimental output routine 
bundle (xor.tgz).

Another package to do a similar thing is ltxgrid.dtx, part of the 
revtex bundle.  However, it's also apparently undocumented (for the 
user), although you can get a pdf from 
<http://www.csit.fsu.edu/~mimi/tex/source/latex/revtex4/ltxgrid.pdf>. 
Its author is Art Ogawa (with some of the code by someone else), who 
has asked a question or two here once or twice, so he might be able to 
help if he's still around.

Hope that helps :)
If you get somewhere using either of them (or even better, comparing 
them!), I'm sure there'd be some interest in what you can get out of 
them.

Regards,
Will
