I would like to make something like the folowing in ConTeXt (you need a monospaced font to see it correctly): +------------------------------+ | | | | | | +------------------------------+------------------------------+ | | | | | | | | | +--------------+---------------+--------------+---------------+--------------+---------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +------------------------------+---------+----------+---------+------------------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +__________+ How could I do this? -- Cecil Westerhof

shorthands for hyphens with \penalty, \allowbreak, breaking up ligatures etc.
by Oliver Heins 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

In LaTeX with babel option german there are several shortcuts needed for typesetting german texts with their large amount of composita. Some of them are defined in Context, too, but not all (maybe I didn't find them yet). In typesetting german there is the need of breaking up some ligatures, too. Here are some examples of what I'm talking about: composita | line break | Babel shortcut | pure TeX-Code ---------------|------------|-------------------|------------------------ (Kinder-)Armut | (Kinder-) | (Kinder"~)""Armut | (Kinder\protect10000 | Armut | | -)\allowbreak Armut | | | Bundestag und | (...) und | (...) und "~rat | (...) und \hbox{-rat} -rat | -rat | | [\protect1000 doesn't | | | seem to work here] ----------------------- breaking up ligatures --------------------------- Auffassung | Auffassung | Auf"|fassung | ??? (babel code: | (not | | \textormath{\penalty\@M | Auﬀassung) | | \discretionary{-}{}% | | | {\kern.03em}% | | | \allowhyphens}{}%) Is there any context way to define these kind of shorthands? (Babel has the \declare@shorthand internal command.)

Re: [NTG-context] a few questions
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 13 Nov '09

Thank you, Bernard! Your snippet works perfectly, I just replaced prefixconnector with '.' \definestructureprefixset[figureprefix][section-3] \definestructureseparatorset [septest][--,--,--,---][?] \setupstructurecountering[way=bysection, prefixset=figureprefix, prefixseparatorset=septest, prefixconnector=.] For third question, I already found the answer in the manual: \setupheadnumber[section][1] %The next section will have number 2 Concerning my first question "how to setup itemization so that the first line were indented too?" -- I disappointed very much because nobody can help me with it. I understand that it may outside of area of interest at the moment, but itemized list looks ugly, and my work cannot be done without fixing it. Regards, Vyatcheslav

A few questions
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hello, I have a few (I suppose easy) questions: 1) asking about this again and again... how to setup itemization so that the first line were indented too? 2) how to setup figure captions so that they include section number, like <sectionNumber>.<figureNumber> (no sub-sub-subsections)? 3) How to start section numbering from, say, second section? Regards, Vyatcheslav

How to know the text was to big
by Cecil Westerhof 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

I want to create a pdf-document which has severall frames in which user supplied data has to be put. I have two questions about this: - How can I use parameters to fill the boxes? - When one or more of the supplied texts does not fit its frame the pdf document is 'corrupt'. How can I see that at least one of the texts did not fit its frame? -- Cecil Westerhof

reducing the space after the enumeration heading
by Curiouslearn 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hello All, I have defined the following enumeration: \defineenumeration [Problem] [location=top, text=Problem, between=\blank, before=\blank, after=\blank] Now for one of the problems, I want the heading "Problem 13" to appear not on the top, but on the left. So before this particular problem I entered \setupenumerations[Problem][location=left,stopper=:] \Problem (From book XYZ) The issue is that there is a big space between words "Problem 13:" and "(From book XYZ)". How can I reduce this space so that it is equal to the standard spacing? Thank you.

Hi, Looks like I found a misprint in cont-eni manual. On page 178, \setuphead[chapter][+1] should be \setupheadnumber[chapter][+1] Regards, Vyatcheslav

big with \setupfloat[figure][indentnext=yes]
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hello, I found a bug (?) with \setupfloat[figure][indentnext=yes] If I do Some Text \placefigure[middle]{}{...} Some Text then it's ok, but if Some Text \placefigure[inner]{}{...} Some Text then the next paragraph is NOT indented. It looks ugly, please, fix this or tell me what i'm doing wrong. Regards, Vyatcheslav
