You are right; in my dialect, indeed, options FOLLOW the
command
. It's just that I decided to make "solid box" a
different command from "box": they even accept different options;
this is not just because I'm crazy, :) but because PDF uses
different commands to stroke or fill a path and because things
like the inner color make no sense for a normal "box".
This way I can handle defaults differently in the two cases; that
is:
box 255.0.0 ... ; box with red edge
while
solid box 255.0.0 ... ; red box
and you don't have to write:
box edge color 255.0.0
box solid fill color 255.0.0
Anyway, since I don't have any backward compatibility problem yet,
:) I'll change to that what makes most sense to you all. So let's
discuss it together and let's take a decision! :)
Regards,
Gabriele.
