setupTABLE not honoring align=
by Aditya Mahajan 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hi, There is something wrong with \setupTABLE. The align= is being ignored (this is very old code, so this used to work) \setupTABLE[frame=on,width=3em,height=3em,align={middle,lohi}] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \bTD 5 \eTD \bTD 6 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE The cells are of the right size, but the numbers are not aligned in the middle. If I give the options to \bTABLE it works. \bTABLE[topframe=on,rightframe=on,width=3em,height=3em,align={middle,lohi}] \bTR \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \bTD 5 \eTD \bTD 6 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE I am using ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.23 13:32 MKII Another point. One of my old code contained \setupTABLE[...,corner=none] which now gives an error, since \framed[corner=none]{...} gives an error (Missing number, treated as zero). Isn't corner=none supposed to work? Aditya

Unicode input problem
by Christos Chryssochoidis 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hello, I 'm trying to use the t-greek module to write ancient greek in ConTeXt, giving the text in unicode (with greek characters). With the default font (Ibycus I think), when the input is in greek characters, iota subscript doesn't appear in the result pdf, or it gets garbled with the other letters. In contrary, with the same font, when the input is in the Babel way (in latin characters; iota subscript as '|'), the character with the iota subcript appears ok in the pdf. With other fonts of the module this problem doesn't appear. As Ibycus font is, as I noticed, one of the best fonts of the module, I would appreciate your help on resolving this font issue.

new cv-resume module
by Idris Samawi Hamid 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Dear gang, A couple of days ago I decided to port my old LaTeX cv to ConTeXt. Could not find any ConTeXt templates, and the currvita.sty referred to in the ConTeXt archives was ugly compared to my present cv. So I wrote an experimental module which I present here. Following is the module and a sample file. Please give me your suggestions for improvement, and any of you should feel free to post it to the wiki.

OverlayLineWidth
by Hans van der Meer 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

What happened to OverlayLineWidth since august 2006? I had taken the following background taken from the Green presentation style (s-pre-02), working satisfactorily without need to define the OverlayLineWidth parameter: \startuniqueMPgraphic{PageBackground} fill unitsquare xyscaled(OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) withcolor OverlayColor ; draw unitsquare xyscaled(OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) enlarged (-2*OverlayLineWidth) withpen pencircle scaled OverlayLineWidth withcolor OverlayLineColor ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic Now suddenly the OverlayLineWidth seems to have turned into zero and the frames do not come out as previously. What happened? Did I miss some change or need to explict initialization? Where? Hans van der Meer

pagenumber in header line.

Here is my code at the moment: \def\CapStretchAmount{.08em} \def\CapStretch#1 {\def\stretchedspaceamount{\CapStretchAmount}\stretchednormalcase{#1}} \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setupheadertexts[text][pagenumber][\CapStretch{ROBERT S. CABLE}][pagenumber] [\CapStretch{INVESTING ON AUTOPILOT}] Here is what I get on a verso (even) page: 4 ROBERT S. CABLE but what I want is the two components in the middle thus: 4 ROBERT S. CABLE If I insert \hfil etc. the pagenumbering gets replaced with the word "pagenumber". Solution? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

Alternating screen/noscreen rows on table
by John R. Culleton 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

I am required by my customer to alternate between white and screen backgrounds for each row of a table for all tables, and there are lots of tables. I am considering adding code to each row of the table or else doing the thing in metafun/metapost. Advice, anyone? Just to mess things up further she wants the table number etc. above the table and left justified. I can handle that. The customer is not always right but the customer is always the customer. She who pays the bills calls the shots. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost. Satisfaction guaranteed. http://wexfordpress.com
