"lineage"


Explanation:
I'm pretty sure I know what this is, but I'm not certain about the exact term.

Before, when I've taken out adverts in a newspaper (and YP is similar), you can either have 'lineage', which means basically lines of standard text fitting within the standard column-width, or 'block', which is where you can have an advert that may extend across more than one column, and in the case of YP, usually has a frame round it. Just look at your copy of YP and the advertising section to see what I mean!

So whatever the correct term is, it means the OPPOSITE of 'block'.

Strictly speaking, of course, 'lineage' means simply body text set in column-width lines; but it seems to be extended, at least in printers' informal jargon, to mean this as well.

Inevitably, in directories like YP, this part of the printing IS in alphabetical order; but I don\'t believe that\'s the underlying meaning of the term (or its incidence on the need for a graphic artist or not).

You might want to consider \'listing\' for your translation, in the sense that these adverts are in the \'listing\' section, and NOT set apart, as \'block\' adverts almost inevitably tend to be.
