Hello Luigi, > I'm not sure, but what about > width=middle? > Yes! It works!

local footnote (Tables) problem
by Bowen Alan C. 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

After further experimentation, I am still stumped; so I am resending this. The attached file will compile only if I comment out (a) header=2pc in \setuplayout or (b) \setupbodyfont[lmodern,rm,10.5pt] or (c) \placelegend or (d) \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth} I am running MK2 using the penultimate beta in the ConTeXt Minimals. There is no improvement when I run the file on the ConteXt wiki (latest beta). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Alan

the meaning of cutspace
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hello, I need to set up 1.5cm/2cm page borders. Backspace in layout setup gives me expected result (distance from page to the text). According to the wiki, cutspace should do the same for opposite side of the page, but it doesnt. So, I cannot get the meaning of cutspace. \setuplayout[topspace=2cm, header=0cm, footer=0.6cm, bottomspace=2cm, height=fit, %leftmargin=1.5cm, rightmargin=2cm, backspace=1.5cm, cutspace=2cm, width=fit] \setuppagenumbering[location={footer,middle}, alternative=doublesided, style=\tfx] \showlayout\showsetups\showframe \bye Regards, Vyatcheslav

This is minimal example. \setupindenting[big,yes] \setupfloat[figure][indentnext=yes] \starttext \dorecurse{1}{\input knuth \par} \placefigure [inner] {} {\externalfigure[cow][width=0.5\textwidth]} \dorecurse{1}{\input knuth \par} \stoptext >> > P.S.

Actually, i tried \indent to produce indent, but it was treated as wrong keyword. Vyatcheslav

The following is an example. Randomization occurs with MKII, but not with MKIV. \setupsystem[random=123] \starttext \startitemize[a,random] \startitem This is item 1 \stopitem \startitem This is item 2 \stopitem \startitem This is item 3 \stopitem \startitem This is item 4 \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext On Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 1:42 PM, curiouslearn <curiouslearn(a)gmail.com>wrote: > I wanted to bring this to your attention.

texexec for latex?
by Adam Megacz 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hello folks, Does anybody know if there is something like "texexec" for latex users? Specifically, I'm hoping for a single command that runs the pdflatex/bibtex combination as many times as is required to reach a fixed point. Thanks, - a
