placefigure feature request ?
by Renaud AUBIN 14 Apr '06

14 Apr '06

Hi all, It seems this is for you, Hans: It would be nice if placefigure can be able to detect if the best place is the top or the bottom of the page accordingly to its call, i.e.: if placefigure call is near to the top -> figure will go to the top else figure will go to the bottom... Cheers, Renaud

multiple columns inside \framed
by Mojca Miklavec 14 Apr '06

14 Apr '06

Hello, I would like to typeset two columns of names inside one frame (centered horizontally). \startcolumns inside \framed doesn't work; is there any simple alternative? (Otherwise I'll manually split the content into two subframes.) I would appreciate any hints, Mojca \def\student#1#2{{#1 \sc#2}\par} % room number, number of students, students \def\room#1#2#3{#1: \framed[width=4.4cm,height=2cm]{% \ifnum#2<4 #3\else \startcolumns[n=2,distance=0pt]#3\stopcolumns \fi }\par } \starttext \room{1}{2}{% \student{Abc}{Def} \student{Abc}{Def} } \room{2}{5}{% \student{Abc}{Def} \student{Abc}{Def} \student{Abc}{Def} \student{Abc}{Def} \student{Abc}{Def} } \stoptext

by Karsten Heymann 14 Apr '06

14 Apr '06

Hi there, a simple one: Is it possible to span a \placetable float over multiple columns defined with \startcolumns ...\ stopcolumns? Or do I have to switch to column sets for that?

XML and chapter specific bibliographies
by Johannes Graumann 13 Apr '06

13 Apr '06

Hello again, Taco had helped me working the following out: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database={../Bibliography/bibliography.bib}] \setuppublications[sorttype=bbl] \defineXMLenvironment [chapter] { \defineXMLargument [title] {\chapter} \defineXMLenvironment [content] {}{} } {\setupindenting[none]\section{References}\placepublications} Which works just the way I want it to for the first chapter BUT in the next one all citations from the first one are being included as well. Is there a mechanism to reset the bibliography after a chapter is processed? Thanks, Joh

Frame around table
by WN 13 Apr '06

13 Apr '06

Hi, I am trying to frame a horizontal itemized list like \framed[frame=on,height=2.1cm,width=16.4cm]{% \startitemize[8,columns,four] \item alleenstaand \item samenwonend/getrouwd \item eenoudergezin \item kinderen/leeftijd \stopitemize } but the list does not come out right. Should I be using overlays here ? I know the overlay basics a little bit, but I don't know how to setup a background for itemized lists. Thanks for your help. Wim

How to set pdf link target view to one columnwidth in twocolumn mode
by josef dev 13 Apr '06

13 Apr '06

Dear All, I am wotking in a twocolumn document, I have the proper hyperlinks for references but the problem is that I need the link target to be viewd in full column width while when I click on any link it shows the link target in the view that is set to "pdfview" option to hyperef package. I have gone through the package documentation, there are several possible ways to have the link target view like Fit-to-Width (FitH), Fit-to-Height (FitV), Fit-to-Bounding Box Width (FitBH), Fit-to-Bounding Box Height (FitBV), FitR that uses the current box and several other but none serves to set the link target so that it views the onecolumn text zoomed to fit to width instead of the entire two colmn page. I tried to use "\pdfdest fitr" instead of hypertarget but when I pass 4 coordinates of link target box after "fitr" it just appears in pdf and compiler automatically assigns some other values, how it calculates that and how we can hack/adjust it as per our requirement. (I used following syntax in place of hypertarget "\pdfdest name (ID) fitr x1 y1 x2 y2", where ID is link id, x1, y1, x2, y2 are link target box coordinats) Hope my query is clear still if somebody finds it confusing then please feel free to ask further clarification.

by Miguel Queiros 13 Apr '06

13 Apr '06

Hello, This might be a simple question but I didn't read anything about it on the wiki or on the mailing list archives. I would like to change the orientation of a page in a document, from landscape to portrait... Is there any command that will change the orientation of a single page ? Thank you, Miguel Queirós
