Type-setting filenames
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hello, Can anyone suggest a good way of type-setting filenames in ConTeXt? They are usually long with few spaces and so often overhang the right-hand margin and even fall off the edge of the page. They also often include backslashes and underscores which I have to manually change - very tedious. Is there, for example, a command which handles some or all of my problems? Thanks Richard

With... \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] how do you prevent the - page header, and/or - page footer to be displayed on an occasional even blank page between a previous chapter last page and the next chapter page ? Alan

OK, this explains it. SciTE is not reading your ~/.bashrc, only terminal is. You either need to run SciTE from terminal or find some other way to pass some environmental variables (at least PATH) to SciTE. Mojca

Howto float text around an image on layer (in a frame, inside standardmakeup)?
by Uwe Koloska 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

Hello, hopefully this is the last dumb question, cause the CD is nearing it's end an will be prepared for printing soon ;-) How can I float text around a picture if I place them on a layer? What I want to achieve is something like this: ppp........ ppp........ ........... but typeset onto a layer to position it at my will ... But I can't get the text flow around the graphic. Here is a minimal example: ------------------------------------------------------------- \definelayer[test] \startbuffer[text] \placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}} \input tufte \stopbuffer \setlayerframed[test] [x=.5\paperwidth,y=2em,location=bottom] [width=0.8\textwidth,height=0.3\textheight,align=normal] {\getbuffer[text]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test] \starttext \startstandardmakeup \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------- and the result can be seen in the attached PDF. The same happens inside a standardmakeup ------------------------------------------------------------- \startbuffer[text] \placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}} \input tufte \stopbuffer \starttext \startstandardmakeup \getbuffer[text] \stopstandardmakeup \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------- and inside a framedtext ------------------------------------------------------------- \startbuffer[text] \placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[height=1cm]{graphic}} \input tufte \stopbuffer \starttext \startframedtext[width=0.8\textwidth] \getbuffer[text] \stopframedtext \stoptext ------------------------------------------------------------- Neither the mailinglist, nor the wiki or the documentation have given me any clue, what to change or where to look further ... Is there another way to flow text around an image? The image has a fixed position (top left corner of the text) so it don't has to be a float at all. Thank you for all your help Uwe

Booklet hint
by Diego Depaoli 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

I'm trying to produce my first booklet (two A5 on A4 paper) and first results look fine (but how much effort). What kind and size of font you suggest to maximize readability saving paper? Thanks -- Diego Depaoli P.S. Why Scite's interface doesn't contain a direct call to 'context'?

context minimals installation
by Alan Stone 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

- Ubuntu 8.04 According to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals I installed the context minimals in /opt/context then ( after some research about its definition and use ) created a .bash_profile file (using gedit) to which were added the following instructions #!/bin/bash source /opt/context/tex/setuptex /opt/context/tex saved it in /home/alan then logged in again and... bash doesn't seem to execute ~/.bash_profile because when launching texexec on a test file, I'm still receiving as output ConTeXt ver: 2007.09.28 16:52 MKII fmt: 2008.6.18 int: english/english which, as far as I remember, corresponds to the ubuntu context installation. What's missing ? Alan
