Traditional Chinese Typesetting (almost complete)
by Zhichu Chen 03 May '07

03 May '07

Hi, everybody Based on the core codes of ConTeXt and all helps from you guys, I've almost finished a module that can typeset traditional Chinese books. I put an example on http://zhichu.chen.googlepages.com/chinesevertical I also made a first five chapters of a famous novel---Stone Legend---which locates at: http://zhichu.chen.googlepages.com/SL.pdf I hope somebody who is interested in Chinese could help me to release my module. -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Rotating multiple-page spanning tabulate
by Tobias Burnus 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hi, I have a tabulate which spans multiple pages and is broader than \textwidth, but slightly smaller than \textheight. I therefore want to print it 90 degrees rotated, but it still should span several pages and the headertexts should remain at the old place. Any idea how to do this? If this is not possible, what is the best way to temporarily switch to landscape? Tobias

Hello, It seems like \setuparranging[2SIDE] prevents the contents to be created. In the example below, only 'Contents' word is displayed and the rest is lost. Removing this very command helps, but how can else I have two A5 pages imposed on A4 sheet? \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \starttext \completecontent \section{First section} \subsection{First subsection} \subsubsection{First subsubsection} \subsubsubsection{First subsubsubsection} \section{Second section} \subsection{Second subsection} \subsubsection{Second subsubsection} \subsubsubsection{Second subsubsubsection} \stoptext -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

Syntax highlighted output
by Chris Rawnsley 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

Hello All, I am writing a project report for a PHP project I have completed and I need to include the code I have written. I would like to have code that is highlighted similar to the editor I use (it's Notepad2 but I'm sure most of you know what I mean), has line numbers and is in a monospaced font. Now I know that ConTeXt itself doesn't have support for PHP highlighting but I have found something in the third party modules that is able to use ViM to do what I want. Unfortuantely, I can't get it to work, hence why I am here! I'm on Windows XP and I am using the standalone ConTeXt distribution from the 22nd March 2007. When I came to install the module, I found that it was already included in the distribution. I have installed the distribution under C:\ConTeXt\ along with Perl (C:\perl\) and Ruby (C:\ruby\). What is non-standard in my setup is my own custom built batch file: set file=c_Implementation call C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\ConTeXt\usr\local\context\tex call texmfstart texexec --pdf %file% rem Clears up the log files and puts them in separete directory. if exist %file%.log move %file%.log Log\%file%.log if exist %file%-mpgraph.mp move %file%-mpgraph.mp Log\%file%-mpgraph.mp if exist %file%.tmp move %file%.tmp Log\%file%.tmp if exist %file%.tui move %file%.tui Log\%file%.tui if exist %file%.tuo move %file%.tuo Log\%file%.tuo if exist mpgraph.mp move mpgraph.mp Log\mpgraph.mp if exist %file%-mpgraph-temp-mpgraph.mp move %file%-mpgraph-temp-mpgraph.mp Log\%file%-mpgraph-temp-mpgraph.mp if exist %file%-mpgraph-temp.dvi move %file%-mpgraph-temp.dvi Log\%file%-mpgraph-temp.dvi if exist %file%-mpgraph.log move %file%-mpgraph.log Log\%file%-mpgraph.log if exist %file%-mpgraph.mp.keep move %file%-mpgraph.mp.keep Log\%file%-mpgraph.mp.keep if exist %file%-mpgraph.1 move %file%-mpgraph.1 Log\%file%-mpgraph.1 if exist %file%-mpgraph.mpb move %file%-mpgraph.mpb Log\%file%-mpgraph.mpb if exist %file%-mpgraph.mpo move %file%-mpgraph.mpo Log\%file%-mpgraph.mpo if exist %file%-mpgraph.mpx move %file%-mpgraph.mpx Log\%file%-mpgraph.mpx rem Runs whatever is associated with PDF files if exist %file%.pdf start %file%.pdf I'll put that in the directory of the .tex file I want to run it on. In this case it is "c_Implementation.tex". My implementation file looks like this: \startcomponent c_Implementation \product ../prd_TennisClubBookingSystem \project ../../prj_School %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Setup Figures % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \setupexternalfigures[directory={Implementation/Figures,Figures}] %%%%%%%%%%% % Content % %%%%%%%%%%% \chapter[cha:Implementation]{Implementation} \setupcolors[state=start] \definevimtyping [RUBY] [syntax=ruby] \startRUBY #! /usr/bin/ruby # This is my first ruby program puts "Hello World" \stopRUBY And when I run my batch file on it, TeXexec returns the error: ! Undefined control sequence. l.36 \definevimtyping [RUBY] [syntax=ruby] I think where I am falling down is that ViM doesn't seem integrated to me. I have it placed under C:\Programs\ViM\ and I used the installer which has all the different types GUI and command line version as well. Do I need the set something up in the module to make it know where ViM is or do I need to somehow directly use ViM itself? Thank you for reading and thank you in advance for any help! Chris

Re: [NTG-context] Vertical alignment of framed text
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

Hello, Please, don't take me as too much exacting man, but Mojca's (partial) solution \def\hotkey#1{\inframed[corner=00]{\ #1\ }} is more suitable for me than the Wolfgangs's (complete) one: \defineframed [dohotkey] [strut=yes,corner=00,frameoffset=-0.2em,location=low] \definehspace[hotkey][0.6em] \def\hotkey#1{\dohotkey{\hspace[hotkey]#1\hspace[hotkey]}} The latter add space between surrounding words proportionally to the in-frame space. The ideal solution would be \def\hotkey#1{\inframed[corner=00, location=low, height=\lineheight]{\ #1\ }} but it doesn't work. Maybe it is a bug, ideed? Best, Vyatcheslav

Dummy question about \externalfigure
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 28 Apr '07

28 Apr '07

Hello, Sorry for dummy question, but why there is always no blank line BEFORE, but there exists a blank line AFTER the \externalfigure? Even leaving a blank paragraph before and omitting it after the figure doesn't change anything. :( What is I want the opposite -- a blank line before and tight spacing after? Best, Vyatcheslav

Boxed text on the same line as a figure
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 28 Apr '07

28 Apr '07

Hello, Please, help me with following. I have a figure included as \externalfigure[lily02.png] spanning an half of the text width. I want place some additional text in a box RIGHT to it. This box will not overlap with the figure. The rest of text flows as usual, that is before and after the image. Thanks in advance. Best, Vyatcheslav

iint, iiint, etc. for math mode

Hi, Here is ConTeXt version of iint, iiint, etc from amsmath. Basically, just combine the intop symbols with appropriate kern between them. And in case of \iint\limits, provides a visually centered subscript.

creating and placing floats with both text and graphics
by Hamid Kamrani 27 Apr '07

27 Apr '07

Is it possible to create and place a float in ConTeXt containing both text and graphics? In the following sample code a framedtext is created containing a figuretext but when placing the framedtext as a float on a doublesided page layout the placement at bottom of the odd page has extra white spaces below the box and is completely off on the even page (does not obey the "location=inner" directive. Please advise. \showframe \showgrid \setupcolors[state=start] \enableregime[mac] \setuplayout[height=10.25in,width=4.75in,margin=2.625in,backspace=.5in,topspace=.75in,header=.25in,footer=.25in,location=middle] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,align=broad,location=] \setuppapersize[US Letter][US Letter] \setupbodyfont[rm,10pt] \starttext \startbuffer[MyFloat] \startframedtext[][margin=yes,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.8,width=\dimexpr(\makeupwidth+\marginwidth+\rightmargindistance)] {\definedfont[Regular sa 3] \framed[frame=off,bottomframe=on,strut=no]{Knuth}} \startfiguretext [right] [] {none} {\framed[width=5cm,height=3cm]{!}} \blank[big] \par \input knuth \par \stopfiguretext \input knuth \par \stopframedtext \stopbuffer \placefigure[bottom,location=inner,nonumber][]{none}{\externalfigure[MyFloat.tmp][]} \dorecurse{3}{\input tufte \par \input knuth \par} \placefigure[bottom,location=inner,nonumber][]{none}{\externalfigure[MyFloat.tmp][]} \stoptext
