Hello, My proofreader wants the float labels ("Figure 2.5") to end with a dot as well (as in "Figure 2.5."). Can somebody please point me at how to achieve that? Thanks, Joh

Dropped caps and line length
by jeffdod＠netzero.net 26 May '06

26 May '06

I am using dropped caps in my document, and I have noticed an occasional problem related to them. The problem is that in paragraphs that have dropped caps, an occasional line will run off into the right-hand margin instead of being hyphenated or wrapped around to the next line. I have to confess that I modified the DroppedString in supp-fun.tex (where \DroppedCaps is defined) to add the digits 0 through 9 so that I could have numbers as dropped caps. I thought at first that this might have caused the problem. However, I switched back to an original installation of ConTeXt and found that the problem occurred there too. This is especially pronounced with certain fonts. I also tried using the lettrine module to perform the dropped caps, but saw the same effect there. I will add also that I am using the t-ancientgreek module, and the text in question is polytonic Greek. Thanks in advance for any help offered. I am new to ConTeXt so if my questions are trivial, please pardon!

Footnote Formatting
by jeffdod＠netzero.net 26 May '06

26 May '06

I am new to ConTeXt and have two questions about footnote formatting. I have noticed that there is always a space between the footnote number and the actual text of the footnote. My first question is: How can I eliminate this space or at the very least replace the space with a non-breaking space. On my system, the footnote numbers sometimes appear at the end of a line while the footnote text wraps around to the next line. Also, I am formatting my footnotes with \setupfootnotes[n=0,...] so that they appear at the bottom of the page in paragraph form (i.e., not one footnote per line). Due to a section change in the document, I may restart footnote numbering at "1" in the middle of a page. When this happens, I would like to indent footnote #1 just like you would indent a paragraph. My second question is: Can this be done? Any help offered will be greatly appreciated!

Question about t-ancientgreek module
by jeffdod＠netzero.net 26 May '06

26 May '06

Hello, I have a question about the t-ancientgreek module for typesetting ancient Greek. I am using DroppedCaps (although I am dropping a numeral instead of a letter in a paragraph...I modified the DroppedString to contain the numerals 0-9) in a paragraph of ancient Greek typeset in the GreekGentiumAlt font. Most paragraphs look fine, but occasionally a word will extend out into the margin instead of being hyphenated or wrapped over into the next line. Here is a bit of sample code that shows this: % Use t-ancientgreek module for typesetting ancient Koine Greek \usemodule[ancientgreek][font=GreekGentiumAlt,scale=1] % Set up indentation parameters \setupindenting[medium] \indenting[always] % Set up inter-paragraph spacing \setupwhitespace[medium] % Set up macros to handle drop-cap chapter numbers \def\DropChapOne{\DroppedCaps{}{Serif}{3.8\baselineskip}{2pt}{2\baselineskip}{3}} \def\DropChap{\DroppedCaps{}{Serif}{2.3\baselineskip}{3pt}{1\baselineskip}{2}} % Set up book start macro...Syntax: book[Chapter][Verse]{Text} \def\book[#1][#2]#3{\par\DropChapOne{#1}\localgreek{#3}} % Set up chapter start macro...Syntax: chapt[Chapter][Verse]{Text} \def\chap[#1][#2]#3{\par\DropChap{#1}\localgreek{#3}} % Set up verse macro...Syntax: verse[Chapter][Verse]{Text} \def\verse[#1][#2]#3{\high{\tfxx \bf #2}\localgreek{#3}} \starttext \book[1][1]{Ὃ ἦí ἀð'' ἀñ÷ῆò, ὃ ἀêçêüáìåí, ὃ ἑùñÜêáìåí ôïῖò ὀöèáëìïῖò ἡìῶí, ὃ ἐèåáóÜìåèá, êáὶ áἱ ÷åῖñåò ἡìῶí ἐøçëÜöçóáí ðåñὶ ôïῦ ëüãïõ ôῆò æùῆò.} \verse[1][2]{Êáὶ ἡ æùὴ ἐöáíåñþèç, êáὶ ἑùñÜêáìåí, êáὶ ìáñôõñïῦìåí, êáὶ ἀðáããÝëëïìåí ὑìῖí ôὴí æùὴí ôὴí áἰþíéïí, ἥôéò ἦí ðñὸò ôὸí ðáôÝñá, êáὶ ἐöáíåñþèç ἡìῖí.} \verse[1][3]{Ὃ ἑùñÜêáìåí êáὶ ἀêçêüáìåí, ἀðáããÝëëïìåí ὑìῖí, ἵíá êáὶ ὑìåῖò êïéíùíßáí ἔ÷çôå ìåè'' ἡìῶí· êáὶ ἡ êïéíùíßá äὲ ἡ ἡìåôÝñá ìåôὰ ôïῦ ðáôñὸò êáὶ ìåôὰ ôïῦ õἱïῦ áὐôïῦ Ἰçóïῦ ÷ñéóôïῦ·}\stoptext Note also that some fonts show this problem while others do not. For instance, the Aristarcoj font does not show this problem. Also, if I remove the dropped cap numeral from any given paragraph, the problem does away. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong, or how I can correct this problem? Any help anyone is able to give will be greatly appreciated!

\pagefigure does not increment page number

25 May '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello All (probably Hans :-) ), \pagefigure does increment the page number. It doesn't place a page number, I can understand that. But why does it not increment the page number? Is that by design? I'm using the context release of 27 April 2006. Or should I upgrade? - -- Live long and prosper, Berend de Boer (PGP public key: http://www.pobox.com/~berend/berend-public-key.txt) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iD8DBQFEcmlLIyuuaiRyjTYRAlT2AKCMz5HY/GP69VZTMrvHTdpA5zxGfACgg+SK g7buT++bxNyaoyoElIUYAPs= =xP8u -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

t-bib and explicitly italizising title parts
by Johannes Graumann 25 May '06

25 May '06

Hello, Is there any way using '\it' in the title of a bib-entry, so that ConTeXt/t-bib will hand it though into the bibliography listing? I have a lot of publications in my lists that contain species names in there titles, which are by convention typeset in italics. Thanks for any hints, Joh
