avoiding unfortunate line breaking
by Stuart Jansen 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Below is an exaggerated case I haven't been able to solve. Assuming the frame can't be enlarged, the URL can't be manually broken, and extending outside the frame a tiny bit is okay, how can I prevent the line break inserted between the bullet and the url in the example below? \starttext \framed[height=2in,width=3in,align={right,broad},frame=on]{ \startitemize[1,serried,packed,joinedup] \item{}foo \item{}bar \item\bgroup\tt{}http://areallyreallylongdomainname.org/index.html \egroup \item{}baz \item{}qux \stopitemize} \stoptext -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.

Hi, I have noticed good news that there exist real small caps in the latin modern font set. That is why there is a typo in type-enc.tex: \starttypescript [all] [latin-modern,computer-modern] [texnansi,ec,qx,pl0,il2,t5] ... % Mono ... instead of \definefontsynonym [cmcsc10] [\typescriptthree-lmcsc10] [encoding=\typescriptthree] should be \definefontsynonym [cmtcsc10] [\typescriptthree-lmtcsc10] [encoding=\typescriptthree] (see two times 't' ^ ^) If this font exist I suggest to extend type-siz.tex: (see lines with 'sc=') ------------------------------------------------ \starttypescript [mono] [computer-modern] [size] \definebodyfont [12pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt12, sl=cmsltt10 at 12pt, it=cmitt10 at 12pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 12pt] \definebodyfont [11pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt10 at 11pt, sl=cmsltt10 at 11pt, it=cmitt10 at 11pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 11pt] \definebodyfont [10pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt10, sl=cmsltt10, it=cmitt10, sc=cmtcsc10] \definebodyfont [9pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt9, sl=cmsltt10 at 9pt, it=cmitt10 at 9pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 9pt] \definebodyfont [8pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt8, sl=cmsltt10 at 8pt, it=cmitt10 at 8pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 8pt] \definebodyfont [7pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt10 at 7pt, sl=cmsltt10 at 7pt, it=cmitt10 at 7pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 7pt] \definebodyfont [6pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt10 at 6pt, sl=cmsltt10 at 6pt, it=cmitt10 at 6pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 6pt] \definebodyfont [5pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt10 at 5pt, sl=cmsltt10 at 5pt, it=cmitt10 at 5pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 5pt] \definebodyfont [4pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt10 at 4pt, sl=cmsltt10 at 4pt, it=cmitt10 at 4pt, sc=cmtcsc10 at 4pt] \definebodyfont [14.4pt,17.3pt,20.7pt] [tt] [tf=cmtt12 sa 1, sl=cmsltt10 sa 1, it=cmitt10 sa 1, sc=cmtcsc10 sa 1] \stoptypescript --------------------------------------------------- Cheers, vit -- ======================================================= Ing.

cross-ref problem (again)
by Alan Bowen 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

Sorry to plague you with this, but it has brought me to a standstill. On page 84 of the ConTeXt Manual at the bottom of the page, you see the footnote: ** Why? See note *. This is perfectly fine when the footnote marker is a symbol. But when it is number, say 13, one prefers: .... See note 13. where the footnote marker (a number now) is in line. The problem I am having concerns the command for cross-referencing footnotes by their numbers,\note, since this command inserts the number as a superscript. Although this is useful, by the way, for repeating a call to an earlier note at a different location, as on page 83 of the Manual, it is not the only way in which footnotes are typically referenced in printed works. The question, then, is how to adapt \note so that it inserts the footnote number inline at at current bodyfont size. I have checked the source file core-not.tex re \note, but I have not been able to make much headway. Any tips or pointers will be gratefully received. Alan

tables, etc.
by Jörg Hagmann 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

Dear list members, I have the following questions: 1) I want a table at textwidth. The contents of the boxes don't fit on one line. When I use "|lp|lp|" etc., the width of the table is a fraction of textwidth, and the contents of the columns overlay each other (with long, unhyphenated words). I found "\SetTableToWidth{}" in the beginner's manual (Table 11.3), but no matter where I placed that, it didn't do anything, nor did all my other attempts. I finally adjusted the table by hand (|lp(4cm)| etc). Is there a way of setting the width of the table and let ConTEXt do the rest? 2) The horizontal rules (\HL) are a bit longer than the the text in the table. How does one adjust them such that they are flush on both sides? I tried with \DL, but didn't get what I hoped for. 3) I am using uncaptioned figures in the margin. When they are too close, they overlap. Is there a way of making them know of each other's existence (I sometimes want them as close as possible), or do I have to place the code at an appropriate position myself? Thank you for your patience, Jörg
