Defining your own custom numbered itemization
by Frank 08 Jul '03

08 Jul '03

For a simple manual I would like to setup a sort of customized enumerated list, but I don't see how to do this in ConTeXt. What I would like to do have something like \setupitemize[9][inmargin][before=\itemcolor, inbetween=\stopcolor] \startitemize[9] \item This is step 1. \item Followed by step 2 \stopitemize In which the text is set as a numbered list with the numbers in the margin and set in color to make them stand-out. However I don't want to make this the default of the default numbered list using \startitemize[n]. Anyone know the best way to do this? Regards, Frank

How to set font for units
by Frank 07 Jul '03

07 Jul '03

Hello, How do I setup the font used by the SI-Unit abbreviations. I use something like the following: \usemodule[units] \setupbodyfont[pos,sansserif] \starttext The wavelength of the pulsed Nd:YAG laser is 1.064 \Micro\Meter. \stoptext The bodytext is in Helvetica, but the units are in times. How can I setup ConTeXt to use the sans-serif font for the units as well? Regards, Frank

context2html ??
by Maurice Diamantini 07 Jul '03

07 Jul '03

Bonjour à tous, I know there is a (*big*) work for converting xml to context, But is there something (an executable or a context package) which would allow us to write some (basic) context file, to html ? I mean something like latex2html or hevea ?
