Vertical align inside a frame?
by Giuseppe Bilotta 28 Jul '07

28 Jul '07

Hello all, how do I tell ConTeXt that I want the frame content to be top, bottom or middle aligned? I found no way to specify *vertical* alignment except by nesting frames and specifying the location= of the inner frame as desired. Am I missing something obvious? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Align ignored in definemathmatrix ?
by w.neimeijer＠hccnet.nl 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Hi, It seems that \definemathmatrix is ignoring the align options. I defined a new math matrix \startmycases and compared the alignment of the columns with \startalign. In the \startmycases the alignment has no effect but it should work according to mathalign.pdf document. I am using ConTeXt ver: 2007.04.17 12:51 MKII fmt: 2007.7.10 int: english/english TIA Wim \definemathmatrix[mycases][left={\left\{\,},right={\,\right.}] \starttext Ignoring the alignment ?? \startformula \startmycases[align={left, middle, middle, middle}] \NC aaa\NC b\NC cccc\NC d\NR \NC a\NC bbb\NC c\NC ddd\NR \stopmycases \stopformula Alignment obeyed. \startformula \startalign[n=4,align={left, middle, middle, middle}] \NC aaa\NC b\NC cccc\NC d\NR \NC a\NC bbb\NC c\NC ddd\NR \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext

Columns and colour background [urgent]
by Oliver Buerschaper 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Dear folks, I'm reposting this because I haven't got any answers so far and also because this is somewhat urgent for me. I need this for a scientific poster which is due rather soon ... Please share your valuable advice with me :-) Oliver Consider this: --- \setupcolors [state=start] \setupcolumns [background=color, backgroundcolor=red] \starttext \startcolumns[n=2] \dorecurse{4}{\input tufte} \stopcolumns \framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=red]{Test} \stoptext --- Shouldn't the background of my columns be painted red? According to the manual \setupcolumns inherits from \setupframed which does work ...

Nested comma list processing problems
by Giuseppe Bilotta 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hello all, I'm trying to get a comma list element from within a processaction from within a processcommacommand. "Obviously", ConTeXt gets confused by which commalistelement is which, and bombs out complaining about incomplete paragraphs and so. Is there a set of macros which I have to push/pop when nesting these commands? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Unnumbered TOC
by John R. Culleton 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Sections have numbers, subjects etc. don't. What I want is a series of subdividisions (subject, subsubject etc. without visible numbers which nevertheless show up in a chapter table of contents, again without numbers, just page numbers. I tried defining a combined list foo thus: \definelist[subject][alternative=a] \definelist[subsubject][alternative=a] \definelist[subsubsubject][alternative=a] \definecombinedlist[foo] [subject,subsubject,subsubsubject] [level=subsubsubject,criterium=local] but when I state \placelist[foo] ...nothing appears. Should I start all over, replace subjects with sections etc. and then try to suppress the numbering in both places? There is of course an easy answer that I am missing. :<( -- John Culleton

Linetable columns with natural width
by Giuseppe Bilotta 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hello all, I really like linetables, but there's one thing I'm having problems with: setting its column to have a 'natural' width depending on maximum content width, and letting ConTeXt calculate this automatically. Is it possible? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
