\wordright and line break
by Andreas Harder 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hello Hans, is there a reason (I’m sure there is) that \finalhyphendemerits\zerocount in the \wordright-definition is commented out? Without this line I get wrong line breaks with hyphenated words followed by \wordright{…}. \starttext \setupframedtexts[width=.65\textwidth,offset=none] \startTEXpage[offset=1ex] \hsize=.65\textwidth \startframedtext test text test text test text test text test text test testtext \wordright{(S.\,3, Z.\,78–97)} \stopframedtext \startframedtext test text test text test text test text test text test test- text \wordright{(S.\,4, Z.\,117–121)} \stopframedtext \stopTEXpage \stoptext Greetings, Andreas

alternate end glyphs in MKIV
by Jeremy 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hi all, I want to get alternate end glyphs. Am I going about it correctly? I'm using the latext context minimals. The following compiles fine using the context command, but 'illustrate' ends with a normal e, not the e.end alternative. --------- test.tex ------------------------ \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[MEgalopolis Extra][features={mode=node,fina=yes}] \starttext Text to illustrate \stoptext --------- end ----------------------------- Thanks for your help, Jeremy

Left, right, top, bottom margins in a \framed box
by Oliver Buerschaper 21 Feb '10

21 Feb '10

Dear all, I'm wondering how I can get different margins between the contents of a framed box and its left, right, top or bottom border. Somehow "offset" affects all margins simultaneously ... Best wishes, Oliver

XML schema or DTD for describing pages or ads?
by William Adams 03 Feb '10

Does anyone have any such? Or links? The only reasonable one I'm finding on-line is for an INX builder tool (which makes .inx files which can be loaded into InDesign). http://www.hyperobjects.fr/en/inx-builder/inx-builder-support/xml-syntax/in… William -- William Adams senior graphic designer Fry Communications Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.

Balancing vertical placement of table
by Design Department 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

I have a single page layout as follows: * Landscape + letter page * Block of multi-line text (variable number of lines) which occupies the left third of the page * Table with variable number of rows which occupies the right two-thirds of the page I'm using \framed for the left text block and \placetable for the table. Is their a way to vertically place the table such that one-third of the vertical whitespace (above and below the table) is placed above the table, two-thirds below the table? The number of rows in the table varies enough that a fixed top position looks sub-optimal. Is it possible to do something similar with the block of text, perhaps using a different top/bottom split for the vertical whitespace? Are \framed and \placetable the best way to do this? david
