Suppressing word-breaking in margin-texts?
by Michal Kvasnicka 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

Good morning. I'm sorry to ask such a stupid question, but: Is there some ConTeXt way to suppress word-breaking (hyphenating) text in margins (\inmargin)? Many thanks, Michal Kvasnicka

Expert fonts
by Thomas A.Schmitz 19 Oct '03

19 Oct '03

Expert fonts have been mentioned on this list several times, but I'd like to know if anybody could point me to e tutorial/example how to make them work in Context. The background of my question: on my Mac, I have a nice-looking truetype font "HoeflerText" which has most glyphs of an expert font (oldstyle numbers, small caps, additional ligatures etc.), and I wonder if it would be possible to split it up into several type 1 fonts (via pfaedit) and make them work like an expert family. Any suggestions about this? Thanks! Thomas

Natural Tables (all options)
by ml-context＠Dr-Kopp.com 19 Oct '03

19 Oct '03

Hello, with a lot of help of Lutz (member of this list) I am now able to produce Context files and compile them to PDF. Now I am reading the documentation and some emails from this list to learn some details. I played a little bit with natural tables (also read the examples in ennatab.pdf) - but I think that is not all what is possible with natural tables. Wehre can I find a documetation with all options for nat. tabs? At the examples there was no table with round corners. But I found a parameter for it -I tried: \\eTABLE[corner=round] with the result: every cell was round. It looks funny but is not the thing I was looking for. I want to have round corners arround the table: left corner top and bottom right corner top and bottom 1. How does it work? 2. Where can I find all parameters/options for natural tables (I googled with no success). Jörg

It would be nice to have a short description for each command - I know, there is the documentation from Hans - but it would be comfortable to have the description in texshow. Jörg

unwanted code in bookmarks
by Pawel Jackowski na Onet 18 Oct '03

18 Oct '03

Hi all! Please consider (or compile) the following code: \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter,section][chapter] \defineXMLenvironment [chapter] {\defineXMLargument[title]{\chapter}} {\relax} \defineXMLsingular[end]{\end} \enableXML <chapter><title>Whatever with an &entity;</title> <chapter><title>Whatever with a <command/></title> <end/> The problem is that bookmarks in output PDF file contains literal or partially expanded ConTeX-code instead of it's effect. How to force context to expand code entirely before writing bookmarks? Thanks for any hints, Pawe/l

placebookmarks + hyphenation
by Tobias Burnus 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

Hi, I use \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection] to get the bookmarks (or outline) shown in Acrobat Reader. Unfortunally, this doesn't seem to work here (acroread 5.08/linux; \def\contextversion{2003.9.26}): There are no bookmarks at all. The other problem I have is: the letter \"a comes out as 'dobuildtextaccent char 127 a' in the 'Document Info' of acrobat which looks kind of ugly and hampers the searchability using htdig. Last but not least, I have a hyphenation problem with URLs: I have e.g. +----------------------------------------------+ | | | [...] http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CylindricalCoordinates. | html. | +----------------------------------------------+ I now want to have this instead: +----------------------------------------------+ | | | [...] http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Cylindri | | calCoordinates.html. | +----------------------------------------------+ i.e. a hyphenation not at the / or . characters but within the word (and without a hyphen). Fixing it manually is kind of hard since I use \gotoURL{...} in a BibTeX file and this definition for gotoURL: \def\gotoURL#1{\useURL[foo][#1]\goto{\url[foo]}[url(foo)]} I'm grateful for any hints Tobias
