placetable (split but title only ONE time) ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hi, how do I set a long placetable to split, but write the legend/label only one time? This does repeat the title at every page: \setupcaption[table][location=top] \placetable [split] {A very long table} {\bTABLE \dorecurse{200}{\bTR\bTD Text \eTD\eTR} \eTABLE} But it should read "A very long table" only one time at the top of the TABLE. Thanks! Steffen

Subscript question
by Jorge Costa da Silva 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hello, I´m tring to learn Context... this is probably a Tex question but anyway: I want to make a subscript such that the smaller number (or something) is written wright under the bigger number (and not, as usual, at the left of the number). This seams an obvious task but i can´t do it. Thank you very much, Jorge

loooong stanzas (longer than a page)
by Piotr Kopszak 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hello list, Maybe I'm just too tired but I can't find a way to force long stanzas between \startlines and \stoplines to break and turn up on next page. Instead the stanza is simply truncated. Actually in my case the poems are not really divided into stanzas (i.e one stanza is one poem). Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Does ConTEXt manual also exist in a printer-friendly layout ?
by Julien Rouiller 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hi, I'm new to ConTEXt. I downloaded the misc documents and start reading the manual. After having read about 50 pages, I find all this very interesting, but is there a more printer-friendly version of the manual ? The screen-oriented layout of the documents is nice to show what ConTEXt can do, but my eyes soon get tired when reading long documents on a screen. I also don't need the navigation links when printing the manual. Thanks. Julien

framing in TABLEs
by Gerhard Kugler 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Hi, I'm updating a book of 2007 with many tables with empty, but framed cells. But if I see the new results, part of the cells are not framed as in the following example: \enableregime [il1] \mainlanguage [de] \starttext \setupTABLE[row][each][align=lohi,height=0.08\textheight] \bTABLE \setupTABLE[textwidth=\textwidth]% \setupTABLE[column][1][width=0.77\textwidth]% \setupTABLE[column][2][width=0.23\textwidth]% \switchtobodyfont[small]% \bTR \bTD Schmerzliche und schwierige Dinge, die ich erlebe \eTD \bTD Wie lange ist das schon der Fall? \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[m=2] \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext I tried several setupTABLE ... framed=on, but without success.

installing the letter module
by Stephen A. Tjemkes 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Dear all This might be a trivial question for an expert user, but for an untrained end user this is not trivial, as I cannot find any documentation on wiki or anywere else. I would like to install the latest version of the letter module. How do I do this? I want to install it in a personal directory (say $(HOME)/usr/context/local-modules) and make sure that texexec will search this structure first before he tries to search the standard locations thanks stephen
