chinese with utf in context
by Lutz Haseloff 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Hi all, with the context from 03.02.06 only the punctuation symbols from the unicode range 30 will be printed. The symbols from the range FF (f.i. FF0C: FULLWITH COMMA, FF1A: FULLWITH COLON...) and from the range 20 (203B: REFERENCE MARK...) are printed as small black squares. If i convert the file to gbk all symbols will be printed right. If needed i can prepare testfiles in gbk and utf encoding. Greetings Lutz

Table column format
by Elliot Clifton 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Hi, In a message from 1999 Hans said it is possible to control a paragraph's text alignment in a table with \pr \pl \pc. Regardless of the table column format I specify, paragraphs remain justified this is not what I want. Any ideas? Thanks, Elliot

by Peter Münster 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

Hello, I would like to have a line with zero height in a TABLE, but it seems to be more difficult, than I thought: \starttext \setupTABLE[r][2][height=0pt,offset=0pt] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD bla \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD bla \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext There is still some height in line 2... How could I get rid of this please? Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Hi Taco, Thanks for the suggestion. It looks good. I set up a test document, and cut and pased your example. Alas, it won't compile. Output from texexec: ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \ArticleTitle -- \ArticleAuthor \listtextcommand #1->\begstrut #1 \endstrut \doattributes ...sname #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4 }\dostopattributes <argument> ... {\ArticleTitle -- \ArticleAuthor }} \egroup \ifdim \wd 4=\zero... \secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2 \dosomelistelement ...hss \dostoplistattributes }} \endgraf \nointerlineskip ... ... l.16 ...- \ArticleAuthor }{2::0:2:0:0:0:0:0::1}{1} Any idea what's wrong? Thanks for your help. Elliot

rulethickness in \setupTABLE
by Peter Münster 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

Hello, I have 2 rows, and I would like to have a thick rule on the top and the bottom of the table, and in the middle a thin rule. I do this the following way: \starttext \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[r][1][topframe=on,rulethickness=1pt] \setupTABLE[r][2][topframe=on,rulethickness=0.3pt,offset=0pt,height=0pt] \setupTABLE[r][3][bottomframe=on,rulethickness=1pt] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD bla \eTD \eTR \bTR \eTR \bTR \bTD bla \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Is there a cleaner way to achieve this? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

starttyping
by Hans van der Meer 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

Found something annoying with \starttyping...\stoptyping. I wanted side by side two framed texts in verbatim, one of them one line longer than the other. Of course they should align there lines. To accomplish this I put a blank line at the end of the shortest text. Alas, \starttyping does not honor a blank line at the end, although it does honors blank lines inbetween. I am inclined to call this a bug. Below a minimal example showing the blank line in between but not the one at the end. The ContextWiki site gives the same result. \starttext \startframedtext[strut=no,offset=0pt] \starttyping before blank line after blank line blank line follows \stoptyping \stopframedtext \stoptext yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer

extra space after \quote, \quotation
by Alan Bowen 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

\quote and \quotation generate an unwanted space after the closing quote or quotation mark. To see the problem, try \starttext (\quote{Hello world!}) (\quotation{Hello world!}) \stoptext Is this old news or an artefact of recent changes? Best, Alan

texmfstart.exe vs. texmfstart.rb
by Hooman Javidnia 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

Hi Hans and Taco, Thanks to all your guidance and a lot of trial and error, now I have a SciTE under windwos XP which works. There is one strange feature though. I had to put the .exe version of texmfstart into the scripts ruby scripts folder so that my files get compiled. SciTE can't understand that texmfstart.rb is there and ruby is installed. Before I copy the .exe version to this directory, I could run all texmfstart commands from the command line without any problem, but from within SciTE the commands won't run. What is the difference between the two versions? And why SciTE can't understand that ruby scripts are in system path and run them? Best regards, -h
