sections, subsections, indenting, startnarrower, alignment

Hi again ntg-context. I have been working on my own CV/Resume module. Up until now I've just been asking about specific bits of the implementation of this thing I want to do, but perhaps that was a mistake as it hasn't really helped progress much, so: What I am trying to achieve is to define some three-argument command to give a section/subject header and a date, and then a block of text. The header and date should be on the same line, but aligned in either direction (subject aligned left, date aligned right) This block of text underneath it should be indented and able to include an instance of the same command. Let me try to explain the desired output in a little monospaced text diagram.. |(Subject)_______________________(Date)| |__(Subsubject)__________________(Date)| |____texttexttexttexttexttexttexttext__| |____textmoretextmoretextmoretexttext__| |__(Subsubject)__________________(Date)| |____texttexttexttexttexttextexttext___| |____textmoretextmoretextmoretexttext__| The "subject" and "subsubject" parts don't need to literally use "\subject" , for example I also tried to use "\start(description){..." for this purpose as well but that failed equally. Just something that works reasonably as a section header. I promise I have looked in the archives before asking :) for example http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg21111.html http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg37664.html http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg11337.html http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg17276.html And here is an example of something I was playing with... ------------------- \definehead[mysubject][subject] \defineframed[lrframe][ width=\localhsize, align=normal, rulethickness=1pt] \setuphead[mysubject][style={\bf}] \define[3]\CHRONSUBJ {\mysubject{\dontleavehmode\lrframe{#1\hfill#2}} \startnarrower[left]{#3}\stopnarrower} \showframe[text] \starttext \CHRONSUBJ {This happened from June 08 to June 09} {06/08--06/09} {\CHRONSUBJ {This happened from June 08 to December 08} {06/08--12/08} {\input tufte } \CHRONSUBJ {This happened from January 09 to June 09} {01/09--06/09} {\input zapf }} \stoptext ------------------- -A

Available fonts and using them
by richard.stephens＠converteam.com 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hello all, I have read many of the documents from the Wiki on using fonts, but I am still not sure of one or two, probably obvious, things: 1) I'm being asked to use Arial font (not my choice!) and I see from searching the context tree that there are .afm files, .tfm files and .map files with 'arial' in the name. Does this mean I can use Arial out of the box? If so, how? I've tried putting \setupbodyfont[arial,10pt] in my environment file, but it does nothing. I've tried various other things as well, copied but only half understood, from the other documents, but none of them work either! I could follow the guide on installing a new font, but if it's already available then I'd rather not! 2) How do I find out what fonts are available "out of the box" and how do I invoke them? Thanks, Richard. P.S. I'm using mkii -- one day I'll get around to setting up mkiv, but not today! Converteam UK Ltd. Registration Number: 5571739 and Converteam Ltd.

Applying effects to figures
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 25 May '09

25 May '09

Hello, I just thinkig... Is there a way to apply an effect to inserted images? Say, I need to make a shadow around all of screenshots included, and it is too laborous to apply the shadow to them in an editor just in order to have screenshots changed in next document version. Is think there is a lot of circumstances when some automatic effect can be needed. Best, Vyatcheslav

indices
by Charles Doherty 25 May '09

25 May '09

Dear all, I have a bibliography created in BibDesk. I insert it in my .tex file using \setupbibtex[database={IndexHag},sort=author] and with the other commands I get my bibliography printed beautifully. I assign keywords in BibDesk and they appear in a list in the .bbl file for example as \keywords{Anderson, Columba, Colum Cille, Adamn{\'a}n, hagiography, hagiographer, saints lives} In the bibmod.pdf guide it says that \keyword KEYWORD Just text (for use in indices) \keywords KEYWORDS Just text (for use in indices) I have a very long bibliography and it would be great to automatically generate indices based on the keywords that do not appear in the bibliography itself. If this can be done can someone show me how to go about that. Thank you in advance.

two newbie questions (about conditional processing)
by Yue Wang 25 May '09

25 May '09

Hi, I have a new book to design, but I don't know how to do page/content conditional processing). Please help me:) - I want my chapter page (first page of each chapter) to be really distinctive. that is, I define a dark color background, and want all the text on the first page set in white. how can I do that? for example \chapter{hello} \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf } % all the characters in the first page should white, others should set in black. - I want to insert graphics and images. all the graphics are inserted using \placeexternalfigures. I want all the pages where the insertion happens to be quite distictive (that is, have a very narrow text layout, and leave the large margin for the figures. However, when a page starts, TeX does not know wheter or not an external figure will be placed on this page, so it really has no idea whether this page should be set narrower or not..... how can I do that? Thanks. Yue Wang

hyphenation
by Henning Hraban Ramm 25 May '09

25 May '09

Ahoi, (1) there's an ongoing thread on the German mailing list (TeX-D-L), if it would be possible to implement weighted(?) hyphenation, i.e. that some breaks are better than other, e.g. Do-nau---dampf--schiff---fahrt Wa-ren---wirt--schaft Eu-ro-pa---par-la--ment (In InDesign I can suggest such priorities if I add words to the user dictionary.) (2) Uses ConTeXt the same hyphenation algorithm as LaTeX? Or one of the newer projects? (perhaps SiSiSi?) (3) Further, I wonder why \hyphenation{} is case dependend - in my last project "Secretary General" was wrongly hyphenated, but \hyphenation{se-cre-ta-ry} didn't fix it, I needed \hyphenation{Se-cre- ta-ry}. Does that make sense? Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Previous chapter from new font chapter
by Maurício 24 May '09

24 May '09

Hi, Right in the main wiki page I read the current 'fonts' chapter pdf of the new revision of user's manual. It says at item 1.5.1: Remember how in the previous chapter there were the tables that listed all the predefined combinations? It was said (...) Where can I find such previous chapter? I understand it shows a way to list all predefined typefaces available, is that correct? Thanks, Maurício
