Hi,
I'm recently trying to get ConTeXt typesetting my books like with LaTeX
before (or better). But I can't solve some problems ... Maybe someone can
assist me?
o How do I get the chapter number into the heading? I've tried
\setupheader[before=\viii,style=normal]
\setupheadertexts[chapter]
but this only puts the chapter title into the heading
o How can I get something similar to LaTeX?
\fancyhead[C]{%
{\sffamily\footnotesize
\leftmark
\pdef\next{\rightmark}%
\ifx\next\empty\else\ \textbullet\ \rightmark\fi}%
}
which will put the chapter mark centered in the headings, and if there is
a
sectionmark then a bullet & sectionmark too.
o How can I typeset the chapter title across both columns in a two-column
setup?
o How can I tell ConTeXt the distance between columns? Or should I define
only the columnwidth? How? My first defintion looks like
\setuplayout[width=358dd,lines=46,topspace=11mm,backspace=17mm,
margin=0cm,marking=on,location=middle,grid=yes,header=12bp,
headerdistance=18bp,footer=12bp,footerdistance=11mm]
o How can I tell ConTeXt to balance the last page? I've tried something
like
\definecolumnset[two][n=2,tolerance=tolerant,distance=12bp]
\setupcolumnset [two][balance=yes]
but this doesn't work.
o Is it possible to setup a project using only didot (or bp) point
measurements? How?
Especially I want a interline space in dd or bp which is flexible like
\setupinterlinespace[line=1.25\bodyfontsize] but uses dd or bp.
o I've tried to setup the typographical correct quotation marks for german
in the file cont-sys.tex
\setuplanguage
[de]
[leftquote=\rightsubguillemot,
leftquotation=\rightguillemot,
rightquote=\leftsubguillemot,
rightquotation=\leftguillemot]
When using it, e.g.,
\quotation{all right \quote{there} we go}
and using
\showstruts
I got marks at strange places
|»all right |there| we go|«
Should this be corrected somewhere?
o How do I get character protruding and font expansion? (I didn't find the
latter in the manual)
o I've tried to use my fontinst installation of HelveticaNeueLT in the main
document with
\usetypescriptfile [type-NeueHelvetica]
\usetypescript [usw][NeueHelveticaLT]
\setupbodyfont [NeueHelveticaLT, ss, 9.5pt]
(first I tried 9.5dd but these doesn't showed any effect)
with type-NeueHelvetica.tex:

\definetypeface [NeueHelveticaLT] [tt] [mono] [default]

\stoptypescript
I didn't find a way to get dd or bp, so I tried rscale ...
The first ad hoc try with
%\starttypescript [usw] [NeueHelveticaLT] [size]
% \definebodyfont
% [4bp,5bp,6bp,7bp,8bp,9bp,10bp,11bp,12bp,14bp,18bp]
% [ss] [sans] [NeueHelvetica]
%\stoptypescript
didn't work.
And maybe there I need something for protruding and font expansion?
(I have to admit that I don't understand the whole font handling in
ConTeXt!)
o Does there exist some support for RCS? In LaTeX I've used
\RequirePackage[nofancy]{rcsinfo}
and then I put in the page area of the crop marks:
on top
'Art \& Satz \raise.5pt\hbox{\textbullet} Ulrich Dirr\hfill Seite
»\thepage« \the\count1\ von \numpages'
and on bottom
<project specific info>\hfill \rcsInfoFile\ Rev.\rcsInfoRevision\hfill
\the\day.\the\month.\the\year\ \printtime
How can I put these information on the page? Should I use something you
called 'Logo types' in the manual or something like layers?
o Where are the command parameters fully explained? (Even in the manual
they
are just listed but not explained.)
o In lang-ger.tex you defined "ck with \discretionary{k-}{k}{ck}.
But on the other hand dehyphn.tex is used which is the new german
hyphenation table. Then 'ck' will no longer be hyphenated like k-k. Or
am I missing something?
Thanks in advance
