Context manuals
by John Culleton 23 Oct '02

23 Oct '02

As Context continues to expand the number of manuals etc. needed to keep up also continues to expand. Is it perhaps time to either consolidate the manuals into a super manual or, more practically, provide a command/subject index that covers all the manuals? I offer as an example the \useURL statement which I figured out from a recent post. However I have no idea where it is described in a manual. -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters, Rowse Reviews, Culleton Editorial Services http://wexfordpress.com

This page intentionally left blank
by Giuseppe Bilotta 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

Hello, I just read a post on comp.text.tex asking how to make "This page intentionally left blank" in LaTeX. There, it's a matter of redefining the \cleardoublepage comman; I assumed that ConTeXt had some kind of built-in hook to do that, but I found that it is not so; the command that ejects a blank page when needed is \ejectdummypage, but there is no way to configure it to put something on that page. Could the page ejecting mechanism be slightly improved, with a \setupdummypage[...] command that defines what has to be done with the dummy pages? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Re: On importing the old NTG ConTeXt list archive into Gmane
by Hans Hagen 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

Hi, Is there someone with a complete clean context archive that can be used as an import in Gmane (mine is messed up bu maintainers messages and bounced stuff)? If you have such a copy, can you discuss this with Hannu?

\page[blank] not working
by Rob van Swol 22 Oct '02

Hi, I tried hard but \page[blank] does nothing. \page[empty] works fine, but in that case the headers are printed, which is not what I want. What to do?

Frames (collection of)
by Giuseppe Bilotta 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

Hello, I'm working on an extension of tooltips (see attached file) whose primary goal is for use "instead of" footnotes in interactive documents. While I managed to write the core of the stuff in a rather short time, I need some changes in the core to make sure they work fully as designed. In particular, I need two things: (1) a way to disable counter increments during trial typesetting (2) a way to define "classes" of frames, with specific options to be set (once and for all, but configurable by the user) independently of the frame settings. (Just like for itemgroups). Could these be implemented in the ConTeXt core? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta P.S. A short notice on how I use them: \usemodule[xtips] \long\def\footnote#1{% \long\def\fncontent{% \tf\switchtobodyfont[xx]\setupinterlinespace#1\par}% \xtooltip{\blue\high{*}}{\fncontent}% } Suggestions for improvements are more than welcome
