\bTABLE[distance= or columndistance= ??]
by Peter Münster 02 Jul '06

Hello, this is a repost, because I've the feeling, that this question got perhaps unread: What is the difference between distance and columndistance? I thought the one was just a synonym for the other, but now I see, that you treat them differently in your patch. Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Re: [NTG-context] [tex-live] man page for mptopdf
by Hans Hagen 02 Jul '06

Hi Werner > can you provide a man page (which I favour) or any other documentation > for mptopdf in TeXLive? > hm, i occasionally use manpages (but more often print manuals) of progs; i must admit that i don't even know how to make man pages the problem is that once i start writing man pages (that i don;t use myself) others will ask for windows or mac help files ... i'd rather spend time on the manuals themselves > In general, I would like to see man pages for *all* binaries included > into TeXLive... > > i happily leave that to users; technically it should be possible to process a manual source (to say mptopdf) so that it produces a man page but not all manuals have the same structure (which means that i'd have to write additional styles); maybe pdftotext somemanual.pdf somemanual.man is enough. As said, i happily leave creating man pages to users so I cc to the context list.

Problems with columnsets and \startbackground \stopbackground
by Olaf Mersmann 02 Jul '06

02 Jul '06

Hi list, I have some wierd interactions between a columnset and \start- / \stopbackground. ---- cut here ---- \setuppapersize [A4, landscape] [A4, landscape] \setupcolors [state=start] \setupbackground [background=screen, frame=on, frameoffset=2pt, backgroundoffset=2pt] \setuphead [section] [style={\ss\bf}, before={\startbackground}, after={\stopbackground}] \definecolumnset [foo] [n=2] \starttext \startcolumnset[foo] \subject{ABC} \input tufte \input knuth One more line and {\em BOOM} - it's broken.\crlf Here we go. 3 2 1 -- page break! \subject{DEF} \input knuth \stopcolumnset \stoptext ---- cut here ---- The second \subject{} causes a page break instead of wrapping into the second column. Is this a bug, or am I missing something when using \start- / \stopbackground? Would this go away if I where to use a MP graphic for the background? Thanks for any help. -- Olaf
