Font problem and font question
by Eric DÉTREZ 14 Sep '08

14 Sep '08

Hello again In Context Manual it is said that we can define new fonts. There is an example : \definebodyfont[10pt,11pt,12pt][rm][tfe = Regular at 48pt] I tried the text : *************************************** \definebodyfont[10pt,11pt,12pt][rm][tfe = Regular at 48pt] \starttext \tfe gros texte \stoptext *************************************** and the compiler answers *************************************** ! Undefined control sequence I.5 \tfe gros texte *************************************** I don't understand . Now a font question : is it a way to define casual (or cs) as italic, boldface or handwriting ? I wish to type {\cs casual} to get the world "casual" written with my LucideCasual font. Thank's for any enlightment

Hi, I'd like to change the phrase "if lastskip equals \EinsSignal set vskip to 0pt else ..." to "if lastskip equals \EinsSignal set vskip to 0pt else if lastskip equals \\ZweiSignal set vskip to -2pt else ... " in the following code ... \newsignal\ZweiSignal \def\EbeneDreibefore {\ifdim\lastskip=\EinsSignal \vskip-0pt \else \blank[20pt]\fi} \setuphead[EbeneDrei][...,before=\EbeneDreibefore,...] Some native (tex)speaker can help me translating?

'See also' entries in register
by Duncan Hothersall 13 Sep '08

I know everyone is preparing for fun in Bohinj (and I am gutted that I am missing it this year) but it would be really great if someone had the chance to work out how to fix this problem: \starttext I wish I was going to the ConTeXt\index{ConTeXt} meeting this year to enjoy all the fun\seeindex{ConTeXt}{also fun}. \placeindex \stoptext I get output like this: -- I wish I was going to the ConTeXt meeting this year to enjoy all the fun. c ConTeXt see also fun 1 -- But I want this: --I wish I was going to the ConTeXt meeting this year to enjoy all the fun. c ConTeXt 1 see also fun -- Why is the page number of the first index entry attaching itself to the "see" subentry instead of the top level entry? Is it my syntax, or is it a bug? Thank you... Duncan

XY-arranging
by Willi Egger 13 Sep '08

Hi Guru's In the pdftex environment the enclosed file will result in an address- label on position 8 from the top on a sheet with 14 labels. When compiling this file with LuaTeX, then the label is placed somewhere down left and the dimensions are messed up. I am stummied... Currently I am using : ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.11 11:45 MKIV fmt: 2008.8.11 int: english/english Kind regards Willi

The first line "1.1 section1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1" is red! This is only the case with mkiv. mkii; http://filebin.ca/vfqedy/test.pdf or http://filebin.ca/vfqedy mkiv; http://filebin.ca/xmupe/test.pdf or http://filebin.ca/xmupe 2. Is it possible to have the \blank[2*big] generated by the placecontent command? The default space generated after chapter seems fine, but I'd really like to have a listing of the sections after the chapter. 3. Am I missing something? I'd like the same effect or better without the explicit call to \startnarrower or \stopnarrower >\definecolor[ucolour] [c=0,m=0.83,y=1,k=0.7] >\definecolor[urlcolour] [c=0,m=0.51,y=1,k=0] > ... > ... > \setupinteraction[ > state=start, > color=ucolour, > option=bookmark] 4.

Why aren't the paragraphs that have a picture to the right or left indented on the first line? Compare the paragraphs on page1-section1 with those on page2-section3. 7. Why aren't the the urls broken across lines, page2-3. I'm pretty sure the hyperref package in latex supported this. 8. What must I do to the 3rd paragraph on the first page to get it to space properly? It's far too close to the previous one. 9. the d in "praised" protrudes to the margin, how do I stop this. I should point out that this happens often. 10. And the last question :). Is it possible to get a table of contents similar to that on page 36 of 'the elements of typographic style'?

test files for Xindy (was Re: [Context] Xindy)

I've found some old post from Xindy list (Jan 2003) with some interesting info: "I have completed my project to demonstrate the use of Xindy in conjunction with Context. The results are available in the following (identical) collections of files: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/culleton.zip http://wexfordpress.com/tex/culleton.tar.gz I look forward to a more elegant implementation by a more elegant programmer. But mine works for now. :-) Anyone who needs to index a non-English document in Context (or pdfetex or whatever) need only create an alphabet file and proceed onward." So, if some ConTeXt expert can take a look and improve it, maybe we are not far from having full Xindy support in ConTeXt.

The first example works. The result is: "Goldstein (2003)" but unfortunately it is impossible to combine it with the [extras={:95}] option to get the page number behind the citation. If you type \cite [authoryear][extras={:95}] it won't work. Although I've tried it with the [authoryear,page] nothing works. The result of the second example is "Goldstein (vgl. 2003)". I've tried to use the left={} option instead, but nothing changed. \setupcite [authoryear] [pubsep={, }, lastpubsep={ und }, compress=yes, inbetween={}, left={(vgl. }, right={)}] still leads to the result Goldstein (vgl. 2003) when I type in the command \cite [authoryear][G:2003]. It seems to be impossible to place something (like "vgl.") in front of the name of the author and inside of the brackets like (vgl. Goldstein 2003:95) I couldn't find anything specific about these problems in the bib-manual. Perhaps you or someone else can help me? Regards Martin
