\chapter with \vbox?
by Michal Kvasnicka 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Dear friends. I want to typeset a document on a grid. Moreover I want to typeset each chapter heading on a separate page this way: \blank[5*line] ... here is motto... \vfil ... here is the chapter title and chapter number... \blank[5*line] I must include it in a \vbox. I tried \vbox to \textheight, but now the motto doesn't fit to a grid. How could I do it? Many thanks for your help. Michal Kvasnicka P.S. My chapter setting is like this: \setuphead[chapter] [page=, style={\ss\bfe\setupinterlinespace[line=\NormalBaselineskip]}, numberstyle={\ss\bff\setupinterlinespace[line=\NormalBaselineskip]}, before={\page\setuplayout[footer=0pt]\page[right]}, after={\page\setuplayout[footer=3\NormalBaselineskip]}, command=\MyChapterCommand] \def\MyChapterCommand#1#2{% \vbox to \textheight{% \setupinterlinespace[line=\NormalBaselineskip]% \blank[5*line,force]% \startnarrower[left,right]% \leavevmode{\rm\tf\em\the\mottotoks}\par \stopnarrower \vskip0pt plus 1filll \hbox to \textwidth{\hss\vbox{\hsize=0.8\textwidth \startframedtext [width=0.8\textwidth,align={left,broad}, offset=1.5ex, background=color, backgroundcolor=black] {\setupinterlinespace[line=28pt]\white #2}% \stopframedtext}} \kern-\baselineskip \vbox to 0pt{% \vss \hbox to \hsize{% \hss\bff #1% {\setbox0=\hbox{#1}\ifdim\wd0=0pt\else \hbox to0pt{.\hss}\hskip0.8\textwidth\strut\hskip2.5mm\fi}% } } \blank[4*line,force] } \global\mottotoks={} } If trying the code, you must either define \ss\bfe and \ss\bff fonts, or remove them.

Hi, If you are in search for an editor: http://www.pragma-ade.com/scite/wscite.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/scite/cscite.zip The first file has windows binaries, the second a few properties files; the context specific properties files will also be in the distribution. The tex/mp lexers are already in the official scite distribition but i fixed/adde a few things, so this version is newer. I can generate linux binaries later if there is a need for them. The cscite zip also has a preliminary (installation) manual.

inserting other pdf's
by free 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi, I want to Know if it's possible to add others pdf files to a former one resulting from a ConteXt compilation. It's because I make technical drawings with Autocad wich are printed (at the right scale !) to a pdf file (By Distiller or Amunyi converter), and I want those in more general (text+drawings) documents. One solution is openoffice, but it's not the right place! Thanks a lot, olivier Turlier

setupcolors
by Henning Hraban Ramm 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Ahoi! I installed the latest beta this afternoon, and all of my colored flowcharts went black. After some searching I recognized, that \setupcolors syntax has changed, the "system" parameter is dropped. That is, where I had \setupcolors[state=start, system=cmyk] I now must write \setupcolors[state=start, cmyk=yes, mpcmyk=yes, rgb=no] Perhaps someone can use this hint also... Hans, I thought you were a backward compatibility freak? Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

Hi: >>I have the same trouble as Willi. My SciTEUser.properties is definitely >>not being loaded. If I put the import statements in my >>SciTEGlobal.properties, I get the ConTeXt menu items plus replacement of >>commands while I type. However, there is no colouring and "compile" calls >>LaTeX. Two questions: >>1) Can we use the ConTeXt stuff with the SciTE distribution from the main >>SciTE website, or must we use the one from Pragma? >>2) The standard SciTE distribution's SciTEGlobal.properties imports the >>main latex.properties. Should we delete this? >I wonder why the user props are not loaded, this file should be in you >Document And Setting \ SomeUserName path. If you open the file (options >menu) you can see in the heading where it is located >Hans Setting an environment variable SciTE_HOME to the path of all my SciTE properties files helped. I also changed the "import latex" statment in my SciTEGlobal.properties to "import tex" so that Hans' new tex.properties is loaded instead. I'm almost happy I have some work to do tonight so I can try it out. :-) Best wishes, Matt

XML command synonyms
by Pawel Jackowski na Onet 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi Hans, hi Simon! First of all THANKS a lot for both of you for helpful hints and sugestions. After many tests and experiments I decided to use construction: \def\XMLsynonym#1#2{% \letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#1/\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#2/\e ndcsname \letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#1\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:#2\end csname \letcsnamecsname\csname\@@XMLelement:/#1\endcsname\csname\@@XMLelement:/#2\e ndcsname} It works ok and suits me best since I (almost) understand HOW it works :) Using constructions which I don't understand makes me a little bit frustrated. I'll do my best to understand other constructions as well. Thanks a lot, Pawe/l

Hi all! Is there any way to define XML command synonyms? Assume that one defined \deifneXMLenvirnment[subsubsubsubsection] {.......} {.......} How to define 'SSSS' as a synonym of 'subsubsubsubsection' without wrtiting the same code twice? Thanks, Pawe/l

Kind of \setupfootnotes[way={bychapter,bychapterB}] ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi, instead of chapters I use \definehead[LevelOneA][chapter] \definehead[LevelOneB][chapter] As I would like the footnotes numbering reset with new chapters I use \setupfootnotes[way=bychapter] But reseting just works for LevelOneA. How can this be? What would be the right way to reset by two different sections? Thank you, Steffen
