starting on an even page
by Alan Bowen 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

This is undoubtedly a simple-minded question. So, with apologies, let me say that I wish to produce a chapter in doublesided mode that begins on an even (left hand) page, say page 54. What I currently produce is a blank page 54 (with correct header) followed by the chapter itself starting on page 55 and looking exactly it should if page 55 were the first page. In effect, ConTeXt is inserting a blank page so that the first page of the chapter proper is odd. How do I stop it from doing this? (There is no blank page if the first page number is in fact odd.) Any suggestions or even pointers to some manual would be much appreciated. Alan

I tried it four times now, with different browsers, and failed always! The only difference that I can think of is that you use Windows and I use MacOSX. If I enter the URL the download of "show-exa.pdf" starts. And if I open the file, go to the last page, click on it then AcrobatReader6 tells me: "Could not open the file 'fiften.pdf'". And that is understandable because there is no file "fifteen.pdf" on my desktop. And it's not in your list of "Downloadable PDF files ". That's why I asked where is this file ? Thanks for your reply, Steffen

Sorry Hans, the show can't be started because "fifteen.pdf" can't be found. Where is it?

mouseover ... (again)
by Steffen Wolfrum 26 Mar '04

26 Mar '04

Hi Hans, Patrick et al. I really would like to learn about mouseover and other PDF related ConTeXt features (probably JavaScript related). In an older email Hans told Patrick that he'll send him a nondocumented example file - so does this mean that there are no other example files available? Please, if some of you could give me some readable read (as .tex files) examples on how how to work with buttons, mouseovers and other interactive PDF elements like this, I would be very happy! Thank you very much, Steffen

Re: Romanian diacritics

Hi Not necesarly. But I've spotted that in that pdf, the Romanian diacritics were typesetted correct! I was wonderring if you did something special. The definition I use is: \def\commaaccent#1{\oalign{#1\crcr\hidewidth,\hidewidth}} But I cannot be sure if it is OK. Sincerely, Dan SERACU Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.
