Grid is off by default, isn't it? Wolfgang

interlineskip problem (mkiv)
by Peter Rolf 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

Hi, I get unwanted interline skips when using a MP based background. The attached example works fine in mkii. In mkiv I only get the desired result, if I don't use the MP background. Best wishes, Peter

But I'm quite happy with current solution (line=xxpt) too. Thanks. B.R., Vyatcheslav

columns and whitespace

Hallo, is it possible to get a half line space after paragraphs in columns? The default is no space. And \setupwhitespace[small] produces a whole line of space. Wolfgang

\fieldstack with mkiv
by Peter Münster 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Hello, What is needed to get \fieldstack working in mkiv? The following example works with mkii, but not with mkiv: \setupinteraction[state=start] \definesymbol[step1][AAA] \definesymbol[step2][BBB] \definefieldstack[test][step1, step2] \starttext \fieldstack[test] Just click \goto{here}[JS(Walk_Field{test})] to walk through the fieldstack! \goto{(restart)}[JS(Set_Field{test, 1})] \stoptext TIA for any hints! Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

ConTeXt wiki page
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Dear fellow gangsters, I did a bit of rewriting this morning on the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConTeXt If anyone can change the example code/figure to something that does not look like such a cliche TeX/LaTeX document, that would be a nice addition. Maybe using TeX-gyre fonts and some cool feature other than/in addition to the usual maths... There is a famous German politician who has joined the Developer(s), so ConTeXt has political support for the moment...

columns and footnotes
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Hallo, I use: ConTeXt ver: 2009.11.24 10:13 MKII fmt: 2009.11.24 int: english/english and I have many problems with columns and footnotes. Is there a possibility to set footnotes in two columns too? I tried \setupfootnotes[location=columns] but I can not see any difference to \setupfootnotes[location=lastcolumn] In the moment I use \setupfootnotes[location=page] and it is often the case that footnotes are printed one page to early. It is sometimes the case that the columns and the footnote area overlapp. What can I do to avoid these problems? Wolfgang
