Pictures

ltpictur.dtx

The ‘\picture’ does not offer text substitute (too much pain to create them). Also note that ‘\Picture+{}’ puts the picture in a box, but not so ‘\Picture+[]{}

DON’t we need in the following \LaTexEnv

<..latex ltpictur..>
 \let\lt:pic=\picture
 \def\picture{%
    \ifx \EndPicture\:UnDef
       \a:picture
       \let\end:lt:pic=\endpicture
       \def\endpicture{\end:lt:pic \b:picture}%
    \else \let\EndPicture=\empty
    \fi\lt:pic}

Picture environments, and other also, can be indirectly nested in setbox comamnds. Hence the setting of \EndPicture to empty for nested occurances of \endpicture.

<..latex ltpictur..>+
 \NewConfigure{picture}{2}

The BR tag is used to force line breaks within text. Normally, linebreaks are treated as a space by browsers (except inside the PRE tag). The optional CLEAR attribute is used when you have an IMG image in your text. If that image uses ALIGN=LEFT or ALIGN=RIGHT, the text will flow around it. If you have text you want below the image, you can do this with <BR CLEAR=LEFT> or CLEAR=RIGHT to force scrolling down to a clear left or right margin, respectively. Using CLEAR=ALL will scroll down until both marings are clear. CLEAR=NONE is the default, and does nothing.
