Feature request: indent parameter for delimitedtexts
by Wolfgang Schuster 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hi Hans, is it possible to add a indent key to delimitedtexts, I use in one own my documents the following setup \setupdelimitedtext [blockquote] [spacebefore=line, before={\setupindenting[next]}] but it makes more sense to have a built-in option to control the indenting of longer quotes. Regards, Wolfgang

[yes|no] [no] y > >fatal error: there is no valid cache path defined or like this >C:\Users\fnsteed>luatools --generate > >LuaTools | error unable to locate texmfcnf.lua >LuaTools | loading d:/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnfShould I create the cach >e path C:\Users\fnsteed\?

tabulate and combination
by Wolfgang Schuster 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hi, is there a better way to place two tables (with the tabulate environment) side by side, I wrap them now in a vbox but this destroyes the spacing before and after them. I know floatcombination but I don't want to use it at the moment. \starttext \startcombination[2*1] {\vbox\bgroup \starttabulate[|cm|l|] \NC \NC Materialkosten je ME \NC\NR \NC + \NC Fertigungskosten je ME \NC\NR \HR \NC = \NC Herstellkosten je ME \NC\NR \NC + \NC Verwaltungskosten je ME \NC\NR \NC + \NC Vertriebskosten je Me \NC\NR \HR \NC = \NC Selbstkosten je ME \NC\NR \stoptabulate \egroup} {Progressive Kalkulation} {\vbox\bgroup \starttabulate[|cm|l|] \NC \NC Bruttoerlös je ME \NC\NR \NC - \NC Erlösminderung je Me \NC\NR \HR \NC = \NC Nettoerlös je ME \NC\NR \NC - \NC variable Kosten je Me \NC\NR \NC \NC \NC\NR \HR \NC = \NC Deckungsbeitrag je ME \NC\NR \stoptabulate \egroup} {Retrograde Kalkulation} \stopcombination \stoptext Wolfgang

setuphead[section][style=cap] does not work
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hello, I want section headings to be in capitals, but when I use: \setuphead[section][style=cap] I get an error as follows: ! Argument of \getvalue has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \uppercased ...d \xdef \@@expanded {\uppercase {#1 }}}\@@expanded \dodosmallcapped ...alize \cap@@uppercase {#1{#2}} \egroup \doplaceheadnumbertext ...o #1}\c!style \getvalue {\??ko #1\c!command }{\dos... \dodododoconstructhead ...{\finalsectionnumber }}} \writesection {#1}{#3}{#4}... l.58 \section{Introduction} Most other options seem to work, e.g. \setuphead[section][style=bold] But \setuphead[section][style=\cap] has same problem as above. I would try it in the "ConTeXt online" but that doesn't seem to be working. Thanks, Richard P.S. How do I get a full stop after the section number?

What else changes when I switch over to columns? Do I need a whole new environment within columns?

Re: [NTG-context] Need more interword spacing
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hi all, I found nice solution by myself: \interwordspace 2\interwordspace that sets double space. Wolfgang's \setuptolerance[horizontal,space] also works fine. But 2*space doesn't work, what can I do if I want even more space? Best, Vyatcheslav

setupwhitespace
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hello All, I have a document in two columns and I need about 3mm vertical spacing between paragraphs. I've tried \setupwhitespace[small] and \setupwhitespace[3mm] but neither looks any different from \setupwhitespace[medium]or [big]. \setupwhitespace[none] gives no space. There is a previous mailing in the archives which suggests that columns don't use \setupwhitespace, and there's a suggestion to use \defineblank[default][3mm] but that doesn't seem to do anything either. Any suggestions? Regards, Richard

Hi, is there is something in the flowchart package to position text on the line in the same way as I did in my example without \clap like e.g. \label[cb]{...}. \usemodule[chart] \starttext \startFLOWchart[test] \setupFLOWcharts [nx=3, ny=1, height=4\bodyfontsize, width=8\bodyfontsize] \startFLOWcell \name{one} \location{1,1} \text{One} \connect[bb]{two} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \shape{none} \location{2,1} \label[b]{\clap{Text centered and above the line}} \stopFLOWcell \startFLOWcell \name{two} \location{3,1} \text{Two} \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \FLOWchart[test] \stoptext Wolfgang
