Hi again, hm, I need to pass a \setupTABLE command ... context.setupTABLE({column}{each}{width=number.todimen(.041*tex.dimen.textwidth),align="flushright",offset="1pt"}) However this does not work. How must this be done? KR Willi

Hi Contexters! Consider the following snippet in a cld-file: context.framed({frame="on",width= "5cm"}, function() ... end ) This works fine so far. I would like to pass the width of the framed text in terms of a fraction of the textwidth e.g. .25\textwidth. How must this be coded? KR Willi

What's the proper way to typeset a slash in a text flow?
by Marco Pessotto 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

See the following minimal example (I'm not trying to typeset urls or filesystem paths in this way, just regular text): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \def\myslash{/\penalty-5000} \starttext \type{/} {\bfd Love/Hate/Play/Love/Hate/Play/Love/Hate/Play/Love/Hate/Play} \type{\slash} {\bfd Love\slash Hate\slash Play\slash Love\slash Hate\slash Play\slash Love\slash Hate\slash Play\slash Love\slash Hate\slash Play} \type{\textslash} {\bfd Love\textslash Hate\textslash Play\textslash Love\textslash Hate\textslash Play\textslash Love\textslash Hate\textslash Play\textslash Love\textslash Hate\textslash Play} \type{\myslash} {\bfd Love\myslash Hate\myslash Play\myslash Love\myslash Hate\myslash Play\myslash Love\myslash Hate\myslash Play\myslash Love\myslash Hate\myslash Play} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Neither one of the first three solutions above give me the right thing, because the line won't break at /. What am I missing? A workaround seems to be \def\myslash{/\penalty-5000} and then using \myslash instead of \slash, but I'm pretty sure I'm not doing this right. Thanks in advance -- Marco

Help to SPLIT TABLE caption numbering CORRECTLY
by barndog1946＠gmail.com 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hans, PLEASE take a look at \placetable and fix numbering so that when a long table is split the numbering is: 1 1 (continued) 1(continued) and while you are there could we get : open header on top of continued table and footer that states: table continued just like LaTeX \longtables Here is a minimal example for Hans, which shows correct numbering for split tables which is currently wrong for MkIV: \setuppapersize[A7][A7] \starttext \placetable [split] {Test 1} {\bTABLE \dorecurse{20}{\bTR\bTD #1 \eTD\eTR} \eTABLE} \placetable {Test 2} {\bTABLE \bTR\bTD 1 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE} \stoptext THANKS barney

Interesting package for XeTeX
by Thomas Schmitz 22 Dec '10

22 Dec '10

Hi all, on ctt, I just saw an annoucement for a xe(la)tex package which I found quite interesting. Here's the description: Location on CTAN: /macros/xetex/latex/ucharclasses This package addresses one of the few features where TeX still has to play catch-up to word processing programs: automatic font switching for different languages. In fact, it goes one better than word processing programs and comes with macros for inserting arbitrary code between text from different unicode blocks, by making use of XeTeX's little known "intercharclass" behaviour. I was wondering: is something similar possible in mkiv yet? I know that with the font fallback mechanism, it's trivial to change fonts for unicode ranges, but is it possible to change hyphenation patterns (or even insert "arbitrary code") according to unicode blocks? Would be quite helpful for those of us working with different scripts. All best Thomas

Where do I find the latest beta and
by barney schwartz 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Ideas on how I would enable it to be used inside miktex would be very very helpful. I need to use this clever trick by Hans: > With the new beta you can add > > \defineconversion[continued][{},{ (continued)},{ (continued)},{ (continued)},{ (continued)},{ (continued)}] > > \setupfloatsplitting[conversion=continued] > > to your document, this will give the desired result for the numbering. clever trick ... I added an example to the testbed Hans but I have little or no idea how I could do it. I use MikTeX and could muddle my way through updating it if someone could suggest where to get the latest beta of COnTeXt and the mentioned example from the testbed. barney

Non-linebreaking \setup[head|paragraph]
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Hello, I'd like to \define or \setuphead or \setupparagraph (or \setup<what?>) a command which would produce the similar thing as the native LaTeX \paragraph{name} does. This command should "sublevel" the \subsubsection (so it would generate numbers when being used), it would have an extra space after it and it would not produce the line-break. An example of its use is in the attached .gif (screenshot of a document created by LaTeX); I'm trying to generate the "*4.2.3.1 Stavební jámy* Hladina ..." (originally produced by the code "\paragraph{Stavební jámy} Hladina ..." by LaTeX). How to achieve this in Ctx? Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Figure shifted down
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Hello, is it possible to place an \externalfigure "deeper" to some distance, shifted down, bellow the line or bellow the default position? To get: +----------+ Aaa | A figure | bbb +----------+ instead of: +----------+ | A figure | Aaa +----------+ bbb Thank you in advance. Lukas -- Ing.

Problem with encoding
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 21 Dec '10

21 Dec '10

Hello, this example stopped working. I don't know exactly when, maybe with the newest Ctx beta. Let's have two sources: --- t.mkiv \mainlanguage[cz] \enableregime[cp1250] \starttext \input t2.mkiv AáSš \stoptext --- And: --- t2.mkiv AáSš --- The t2.mkiv is included by the main file t.mkiv. The strange thing is that chars with diacritics being used in the included file are successfully processed, whilst those in the main file are not. Here's the process log: --- MTXrun | run 1: luatex --fmt="c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/f53042fa2e1c106bc7e3383ec8c3a00c/formats/cont-en" --lua="c:/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/f53042fa2e1c106bc7e3383ec8c3a00c/formats/cont-en.lui" --backend=pdf "C:/Lukas/Jobs/Holesov.PDPS/SO_201/Texts/T/t.mkiv"This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.64.0-2010111223 (rev 3956) \write18 enabled.
