Either <fig>, as Nikos has suggested, or > <table-wrap>, as we do, alleviates some of these problems. See, e.g., > https://doi.org/10.1364/BOE.9.001423, Algorithms 1b4 Shading and color in <code> are handled the same way as shading and color in <table>, using <styled-content>. <code> does not allow inline math. <preformat> does allow inline math. None of this means I advocate you change your practice, I just wanted to make it clear what JATS CAN do and to understand your requirements a little better. When I wrote algorithms, they were pseudo-code, no more, no less, using shading and color definitely. But I was not in the OSA field of study, and I was a programmer rather a long time ago in a limited number of programming languages. Mirkobs post convinces me that I do not begin to understand the range of typography inside an algorithm, but they sound more and more like art, with keywords for searching rather than searchable text. bDebbie ================================================================ Deborah A Lapeyre mailto:dalapeyre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mulberry Technologies, Inc. http://www.mulberrytech.com 17 West Jefferson Street Phone: 301-315-9631 (USA) Suite 207 Fax: 301-315-8385 Rockville, MD 20850 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mulberry Technologies: Consultancy for XML, XSLT, and Schematron ================================================================
