Thank you, I'll try it. Maybe you also know how to italize Roman letters? (like $abc$) Vyatcheslav > > \usetypescript[termes]\setupbodyfont[termes, 14pt] > \startbuffer > $αβγ$ > \stopbuffer > > \starttext > \getbuffer > > \setupmathematics[lcgreek=normal]\getbuffer > \stoptext > > Aditya

Itemize withing description
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

Hello, Another tricky question. I have "Review Questions" at the end of each section. There are only questions inside, and they are enumerated. I felt natural to implement it as description. Going further, I added \startitemize and \stopitemize inside the description definition. Then my code looks neatly, but one annoying problem persist. Whatever I do, I cannot get blank space between description caption (text) and the items. I manage to have it before the block, after it, but not inbetween. Here is my minimal example that shows clearly that big skip disappears (there is a problem with indenting too, but that's another problem): \setupitemize[each][1,packed,nowhite,text] \definedescription[reviewquestions][location=serried, text={Review questions}, before={\blank[small]\startitemize}, inbetween={\blank[big]}, after={\stopitemize\blank[small]}] \starttext The section ends here. \startreviewquestions \item Question 1 \item Question 2 \item Question 3 \stopreviewquestions The next section starts here. \stoptext Best regards, Vyatcheslav

Adding small caps font to Xserif definition
by Roland 08 Nov '09

08 Nov '09

Hi all, I'm typesetting a book with ConTeXt and XeTeX (LuaTex has been choking on some statements and I didn't find the time to debug it). I've gotten XeTeX to find Mac fonts through the simple Xserif definition, but now I want to add a dedicated small caps font. I've been checking out lots of typescripts documentation but I get discouraged by their levels of complexity - I'm sure they're very powerful but all the documentation out there still doesn't tell me what all the different lines actually do and why there have to be so many of them... My minimal test script is as follows: \enableregime[utf] \setupcapitals[title=no,sc=no] \definetypeface[ecolayout][rm][Xserif][EconomistTT] \setupbodyfont[ecolayout, 11pt] \starttext Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, {\sc consectetur adipisicing elit}, \cap{sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt} \stoptext This shows everything in EconomistTT, with the "consectetur" part in normal sentence case and the "sed do..." part in simulated small caps. I can also print everything up to sed... in real small caps by adding \definetypeface[ecolayout][sc][Xserif][EconomistTTSC] (which I guess is equivalent to just replacing "EconomistTT" with "EconomistTTSC" in the test script above. But how do I tell XeTeX to use EconomistTT for all normal letters but EconomistTTSC when the \sc type switch is on? Thanks so much for your help!
