Scaling with \filterpages not working?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

Hello, I'm trying similar code as described on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Including_pages_from_PDF_document: --- \starttext \filterpages[1.pdf][2][width=15cm] \page \filterpages[1.pdf][2][width=5cm] \stoptext --- But I'm still getting the same picture - scaled to (probably) \textwidth. Bug? My mistake? So how to scale to paper width (or any arbitrary value)? - ConTeXt ver: 2010.11.03 19:42 MKIV fmt: 2010.11.12 int: english/english (latest), WinXP Lukas -- Ing.

stack words for explanation
by Jonas Stein 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hi, i would like to write an FAQ for maritime distress radio. The spoken words and the "variables" should be highlighted in a nice way. What would you suggest me to do in context? My first idea a bracket or stacked words like this example: MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY THIS IS TITANIC TITANIC TITANIC \--- ship name 3 times----/ Whats your idea? -- Jonas Stein <news(a)jonasstein.de>

The visual counter module
by Aditya Mahajan 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hi, This is to announce an alpha release of the visual counter module. See http://randomdeterminism.wordpress.com/2010/11/14/visualcounter-module/ for some examples, in particular http://randomdeterminism.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/theorem.pdf The idea is to display a counter visually, in the same spirit as interactions bars. There is no support for interaction, but, on the plus sides, these work for any conter, not just the page counter. The idea of the module comes from the counters designed by Thomas as part of the simpleslides module. The module only works with MkIV because I am using the new namespace code. So MkII support is unlikely. Anyone else interested in such counters? Aditya

Interaction + Footnotes = invalid page reference
by Andreas Harder 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hi again, this is no error, but I wondered why my log is cluttered with "invalid page reference: 0"-messages … till I found out. It seems that every time a reference and its destination are on the same page the above warning is caused. \setupinteraction[state=start] % \setupfootnotes[interaction=no] % yes -> invalid page reference \starttext \dorecurse{10}{test\footnote{footnote}\page} \stoptext Greeting Andreas

Hi, Could anyone suggest me an idea how to draw a guitar string symbol -- a number in a circle? Like this http://www.classicalguitarblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Picture-47.png Maybe some rounded frame? Regards, Vyatcheslav

margin-bug in mkiv?
by Peter Schorsch 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Hi, since mkiv (last updated 19.11.) \placeformua causes a bug regarding the placing of inner- and outermargins. If you remove the \placeformula in the following example the placing of inner- and outermargins is right. But as soon there is a \placeformula from that point on inner- and outermargins are switched every call. Is there a way around this problem or is someone able to correct this? I would apreciate any help in this. \starttext \inmargin{inmargin}\inothermargin{othermargin}\input tufte \inmargin{inmargin}\inothermargin{othermargin}\input tufte \placeformula \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \stopformula \inmargin{inmargin}\inothermargin{othermargin}\input tufte \inmargin{inmargin}\inothermargin{othermargin}\input tufte \inmargin{inmargin}\inothermargin{othermargin}\input tufte \inmargin{inmargin}\inothermargin{othermargin}\input tufte \inmargin{inmargin}\inothermargin{othermargin}\input tufte \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Defining a command for enumeration+block
by Glen Callaghan 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

Interestingly though, the formatting is slightly different between defining the blocks and using (recalling) the blocks. When I recall the blocks, the text appears a line below the enumeration labels (see example + attachment below). I can reproduce this but for mkiv (context <file>) the output in both cases is the same. Wolfgang Weird... when I try it here on mkiv, there is no output where I define the blocks (see attachment). I'm trying this on the "current" mimimals (downloaded today) on mac os x (10.6.5). [LuaTeX beta-0.64.0-2010111215, ConTeXt ver: 2010.07.30 11:35 MKIV fmt: 2010.11.19] Could this be some sort of bug? Is there anything you'd like me to try. thanks Glen

\starttext \starttabulate[|p|p|] \NC \the\hsize \NC \the\hsize \NC\NR \stoptabulate \the\hsize \stoptext is always the same value. How can I get the width inside a tabular cell? Herbert
