Some minor issus
by Steffen Fritzsche 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hi everybody, currently I am doing the final layout of my thesis for which I used context. I am now struggeling with two thing, which I think might be minor issus for some of you, but not so for me ;) First, some of my URLs within footnotes are wider as the textwidth. Is there a way to force a line break other than defining break points for each of it? Maybe even with a nice symbol identicating the forced break? Second problem is the formatting of the in text references. it would be nice if there is a way they were not bold. I tried different things with \setupreferencing but the text stayed bold. I could not find something in regards to this topic in the manual or in the wiki. My thrid problem is, how can I force context not to continue footnotes on another page? And a similar thing ... how can I achieve that there are always at least two lines of a paragraph on each page if this paragraph is split between two pages. I tried \clubpenalty and \widowpenalty as well as \def\defaultwidowpenalty and \def\defaultclubpenalty. But I am not really sure what the numbers identicate. I guess not the lines ... Thanks in advance for all answers, once I am finished I am going to add this information to the wiki. Maybe it is already there but I could not find it ... Steffen

factor=fit images don't fit
by Giuseppe Bilotta 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hello all, I have to place a number of images into some given-size frames in a layer. The images should be scaled proportionally to fit into the frame. The code I'm working with is: \defineframed[framedimg][ frame=on,framecolor=elux, background=color, backgroundcolor=white, width=\wdfig, height=\htfigone, offset=overlay, ] \setlayer[figs][voffset=\nextfigvoff]{% \framedimg{% \externalfigure[#1][ factor=fit, % maxwidth=\wdfig, % maxheight=\htfigone, % frame=on, ]% }% }% where \wdfig, \htfigone are the frame size and \nextfigvoff is the vertical offset which must be placed. I've tried factor=fit, factor=max, but in both cases I get images which cross the boundaries of the frame, mostly in the horizontal direction. If I add the maxwidth/maxheight specification, images don't get scaled at all. I would expect factor=fit to scale the image in such a way that the biggest direction fits into the enclosing box, while factor=max would scale the image in such a way that the smallest direction fits into the enclosing box. Instead, in both cases the vertical direction is being fitted, with no apparent consideration for the horizontal direction. What am I doing wrong and what should I do to fix it? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

\setupheader: leftstyle & rightstyle
by Matt Gushee 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Hi, all-- I would like to use different styles for left and right headers in a book: I would like to set the left side (which shows the book title) in small caps, and the right side (chapter title) in italics. \setupheader[style=\sc] works fine. So does \setupheader[style=\it] But \setupheader[leftstyle=\sc,rightstyle=\it] Doesn't work. Both headers appear in the (medium-weight roman) body font. Any idea why this is the case? -- Matt Gushee

\startalignment[middle] and \externalfigure
by Peter Münster 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Hello, \startalignment[middle] has no effect with \externalfigure[]. \dontleavehmode seems to be a work-around. Is this normal behaviour or a bug? Example: \starttext \startalignment[middle] % \dontleavehmode % work-around \externalfigure[hacker] \stopalignment \stoptext Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

problem with mp clip
by Peter Rolf 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Hi, it seems, that clipping with a MetaPost path is broken (at least on my machine). I couldn't test it on Contextgarden, as the standard example pictures are not installed (or the !!path is not searched). Anyhow, if someone can test this please. I work with the latest minimal distribution (XP), ConTeXt beta from 03.07.2007, pdftex 1.40.4 and mpost 1.0. Thanks in advance, Peter @Patrick: Is there a way to add the test pictures (cont-img.zip) to 'live context'? \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumber[state=stop] \startMPclip{ClipTest} clip currentpicture to unitcircle scaled 3cm; \stopMPclip \starttext \clip[width=3cm,height=3cm,mp=ClipTest]{\externalfigure[mill.png]} \stoptext

strange colorleak in definetyping[XML]
by Hans van der Meer 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

I did encounter 'leaking' color outside the XML verbatim typing. The effect can be turned off and on by removing/placing the ':' in 'file:' in the second xml-line. Is this a bug? It certainly is annoying that the default color is inadvertently changed. A (somewhat) minimal example follows: =================================================================== \setupcolors[state=start] \definecolor [mistyrose] [r=1,g=.894118,b=.882353] % Setup coloring for framed text (unbreakable) blocks. \defineframedtext[framedcode][frame=on,corner=round,rulethickness=2pt, width=\textwidth,color=codecolor,style=\ttxx, background=color,backgroundcolor=mistyrose,framecolor=indianred] % Setup coloring for verbatim code fragments. \definecolor [codecolor] [red] \definecolor [colorprettyone] [codecolor] \definecolor [colorprettytwo] [codecolor] \definecolor [colorprettythree] [codecolor] \definecolor [colorprettyfour] [codecolor] \setuptyping [color=codecolor,palet=colorpretty] % XML typesetting inside framebox with background. \definetyping[XMLBOX][option=XML,style=\ttxx, before={\bgroup\setupinterlinespace[line=2ex]\startframedcode}, after={\stopframedcode\egroup}] \starttext Testing xml typing\crlf \startXMLBOX <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <locationURI>zip:/?file////path/to/a.zip</locationURI> \stopXMLBOX This color is black as it should be. \startXMLBOX <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <locationURI>zip:/?file:////path/to/a.zip</locationURI> \stopXMLBOX This color should be black not \quote{codecolor}!!! \stoptext Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] \setupheader: leftstyle & rightstyle
by Alex K 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

Hi, Hope this isn't hijacking the thread, but I have a quick question related to this and I'd thought I'd post it here instead of starting a whole new topic about something similar. How do you center headers? I know that if you just use one header, it's automatically centered, but if you use alternating headers, they're left/right aligned by default... right? So far I have a two-page spread set up so that the chapter appears on the right header and the title of the text on the left, but neither are centered. Do I use \midaligned, or am I on the wrong track?

Any idea why this is the case? I usually use something like \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=bottom] \setupheadertexts [\sc Book Title][] [][{\it (\getmarking[chapter][current])}] However, there seems to be a little bug. This works perfectly well for section (\getmarking[section]), but for chapter the chapter labels seem to be erased after the first appearance. leftstyle= might also require implementation of - style of the left label on left page - style of the middle label on the left page - style of the right labale on the left page - all the three styles again on the right page, the same 6 for footer Mojca ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context(a)ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?
