- I need a plain TeX solution for this problem. I want to have
- text displayed on the page like this:
-
- blah blah qwe qwa asd asdf asdf asdf $1000
- asdf asdf asdf asdf sadf adf asdf
-
- asdf asdf asdfasd asdf asdf adf asdf $1500
-
- asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf $3000
- asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asf
- asdf asd asdfas asdfasdf asdfasdf
-
- Of course the text I am using isn't really "blah asdf etc."
- My problem is that the whole thing need to be in a vertical box
- and one can't specify the *width* of a vbox, right? I want the
- text in each subsection to be in paragraph form. Let's say
- textwidth of 5 inches, .5 inch between text and $amounts,
- pagewidth of 6.5 inches. HELP!
