Greetings all, Adam, Have you had any success in using hanging alignment handling with Adobe Jenson Pro? The last reference to this I've found was in your 2003 My Way on the subject. Kind regards, David

OT: german Ruby book
by Henning Hraban Ramm 23 Apr '05

[If you can't read German this won't be of any interest for you.] Ich habe ein Buch zu verschenken: David Thomas / Andrew Hurt: Programmieren mit Ruby Addison-Wesley 2002 siehe http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/382731965X/ Da ConTeXt ja teilweise Ruby-Skripte einsetzt, würde ich es gerne einem aktiven ConTeXter zukommen lassen. Ich dachte mal, ich sollte es selbst lernen, bin aber mit Python und Perl gut bedient. Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net

Re: total with of TABLE ?

Hi Hans, again the stretch option kills the defined \setupTABLE[column][1][width=1cm,align=left] \setupTABLE[column][4][width=1cm,align=middle] (see previous example) Isn't it possible to define the total width of a table and the width of some columns (here 1 and 4) in order to let only the undefined width of column 2 and 3 be flexible (stretchable)?

TeX Showcase updated
by Gerben Wierda 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

I have finally gotten around to adding a few entries to the TeX Showcase at http://tug.org/texshowcase (some were submitted 2 years ago and at that time put in a To Do mailbox because I was to busy studying, I am reasonably ashamed it took me so long to catch up) The added entries (some are really impressive) are: - cover.tex (tiling with pstricks) - program_sample.tex (uses ConTeXt & XeTeX, very cutting edge ;-) - scorecard.mp (very nice metapost project) - cave.pdf (also very nice) - poster.tex (for a linguistics conference) - 0309Newsletter.tex (your basic newsletter, but not in Quark or whatever) - learning_early.tex (screen document) - LM-Volume-manuscript.tex (hyperref showcase) Given the number of additions, I decided to make an announcement of it and spam it on the lists I am on....

Another plant in the garden: modules
by Patrick Gundlach 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

Dear ConTeXters, I have planted a small bush in the garden, which is called 'modules'. I collect third party modules and put them in one place. One of the things the authors (and of course all ConTeXt users) will hopefully get soon is an automatic synchronization with CTAN. I am in contact with the CTAN maintainers about that. The service will grow during the nice summer months, so please send me all the modules that you have on your hard disks but never published yet. You can find it at <http://modules.contextgarden.net>.
