Hi, Hans, it's so instructive to read yout post... I have learned from this last post 2 new commands ! However, I think the original poster wish a line who run to the right margin, so I added to your code in the "defineenumeration" a "inbetween=\vskip-4pt{\hrule height 1.5pt}\blank". This is not very elegant, but this works. By the way, I'm interested to know if there is a better solution. > Hans wrote: > one of you has to wikify this answer ... I'm not sure how to do this, but I can try how this works. The complete code follows. FL. \setupcolors[state=start] \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=color,backgroundcolor=darkred,backgroundoffset=3pt] \defineenumeration [example] [way=bychapter, separator=\compoundhyphen, chapternumber=yes, color=white, command=\exampleframed, inbetween=\vskip-4pt{\hrule height 1.5pt}\blank] \defineframed [exampleframed] [background=color, backgroundcolor=black, foregroundcolor=white, style=bold, frame=off] \starttext \chapter{One} \input tufte \startexample \input tufte \stopexample \input tufte \stoptext

What I would like to happen, is to go ahead and begin the next paragraph to fill the current page, and then place the graphic on the subsequent page (with text to the side). Again, the issue only arises when there is not enough room on the current page to fit the figure. In my project, the figures are about 1/2 the height of the main body text, so anytime the paragraph breaks below the midpoint of a page, any image placed there will cause a page break leaving the rest of the page blank. Also, in the examples given, the ones using 3*line also set the image down three lines from the beginning of the paragraph. And while I might think that those first three lines should print across the full width of the main body text (directly above the image area), they only appear to the side of the image area, leaving three partially blank lines just above the image. Is that what is supposed to happen? Regards, Randolph

difficult fonts again
by Henning Hraban Ramm 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

I'm playing with special fonts again... \starttypescript [map] [delitsch] [\defaultencoding] \loadmapfile [\defaultencoding-klein-delitsch.map] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [handwriting] [delitsch] [\defaultencoding] \definefontsynonym [DelitschAntiqua] [\defaultencoding- delitschantiqua] [encoding=\defaultencoding] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [handwriting] [delitsch] [name] \definefontsynonym [Handwriting] [DelitschAntiqua] \stoptypescript \def\DelitschC#1{\getglyph{\defaultencoding-raw-delitschantiqua} {\char#1}} %\def\DelitschC#1{\getglyph{Handwriting}{\char#1}} % no metrics \definetextmodediscretionary D {\DelitschC{198}} % ... \definetextmodediscretionary t. {\DelitschC{209}} With the "Handwriting" definition of \DelitschC I get the chars, but without metrics. Is that normal behaviour? I need one big title and defined \definefont[MainTitleFont][Handwriting at 36pt] But in {\MainTitleFont |D|ie Winternach|t.|} my "discretionary" characters stay in bodyfont size. Is there a way to let these adapt to the actual size? (I know I should solve this with virtual fonts etc., I'll try that later, if I stay unemployed...)

e-trema

Good evening! While typesetting a Dutch text I am confronted with the problem, that in case of a hyphenation of the word poëzie must become po-ezie. Does anybody know a solution in order to keep automatic hyphenation? Kind regards Willi

About 'repeat' option of \startitemize
by Radhelorn 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hello All! A while ago Hans introduced 'repeat' option for \startitemize to make nested items. I've decided to give it a try: \startitemize[repeat] \item item1 \startitemize \item item1.1 \item item1.2 \item item1.3 \stopitemize \item \startitemize \item item2.1 \item item2.2 \item item2.3 \item item2.4 \stopitemize \stopitemize gives: 1. item1 1. item1.1 2.2. item1.2 3.3. item1.3 2.1. item2.1 2.2. item2.2 3.3. item2.3 4.4. item2.4 should: 1. item1 1.1. item1.1 1.2. item1.2 1.3. item1.3 2.1. item2.1 2.2. item2.2 2.3. item2.3 2.4. item2.4 From my observations of mysterious box manipulations in core-itm I think that fix for repeating first digit can be as simple as removing one of these \plusone's somewhere. But it is possible to make both 1.1 and 2.1 work as in my example? And it seems that space after dot in nested lists is slightly bigger. Is this intentional? -- Radhelorn <radhelorn(a)mail.ru>

\input inside of modules
by Peter Rolf 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi, I've some trouble with modules and their (nested) input. The module is found (in context/user), but the input file, that is called inside that module (same dir), is not found. example: \usemodule[foo] % is found inside [t-foo.tex]: ... \input foo-bar \relax % same dir, but it's not found ... It seems, that only typescripts and modules are found inside my user dir. How can I change this behaviour? kpsewhich can find all files. Currently I'm using CTXDEVTXPATH to fix this, but there must be a better way. Thanks in advance Peter

th nd and rd
by John R. Culleton 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

It is common to express certain numerals with the suffixes st, nd, rd, th, with the suffix in a smaller type and raised about .5em eg: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th. It is of course possible to cobble these expressions up in macros. But it would be handy if they were built in to Context. Any thoughts? -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf

\celsius and \inch
by Peter Münster 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hello, a suggestion for \celsius in core-mis.tex: \def\celsius#1{#1\,\mathematics{^\circ}\kern-0.1emC} The symbol for \inch is strange: "}". What is \char125 supposed to be, doesn't it depend on the font encoding? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
