Re: Getting current setting of columns per page

[John Kellogg <johnk@SQRIBE.COM>]

Scott,

You should probably by using a #define variable in each of the layouts
so that you can refer to it when printing the text. For example:

Include file layout1.inc
------------------------

#define maxcols 75
declare-layout default
max-columns = {maxcols}


SQR Program
-----------
#include
begin-setup
include 'layout1.inc'
end-setup

begin-program
let #print_position = {maxcols} - 10
print ...
