I have found another problem which is probably related. In the same sort of arrangement, two columns with margins on either side, I would like to place floats like this: 1. If they appear on the left side, they should end at the right edge of the left column. 2. If they appear on the right side, they should begin at the left edge of the right column. Using \placetable[inmargin] (my best guess), this works fine for case (2), but case (1) begins at the left edge of the left column and can overprint the right column.

PDF Meta Tags
by Bart C. Wise 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

I received the following message from a publisher: [The PDF generator] you used flattens the file such that is has no meta tags whatsoever. We need the tags that give page separations, page count, header info, etc. How do I get those meta tags enabled? Would setting \interaction[state=start] do what's needed? Running minimals-beta. Thanks, Bart

Page numbering in Adobe Reader
by Zhichu Chen 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hi Hans and Taco, Some guy think it's cool to use romannumeral numbers in the preface and so is in the Adobe Reader. I searched the source but apparently it is not provided. I made a very dirty test file so could you make a switch in the \setupinteraction officially? My test file is like: ============================================== \pdfcompresslevel 0 \setupinteraction [state=start, focus=width, page=yes, openaction=firstpage, click＝no, title=TEST, author=Neals, subtitle=Test, keyword={test}] \setupcolors [state=start] \newcount\FrontPageNumbers \setupsubpagenumber[way=bytext,state=start] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \startsectionblockenvironment[frontpart] \setupfootertexts[pagenumber] \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \global\FrontPageNumbers=\pagenumber \global\advance\FrontPageNumbers\minusone \setuppagenumber[number=1] \resetsubpagenumber % \setupfootertexts[\the\FrontPageNumbers] \setupfootertexts[pagenumber] \stopsectionblockenvironment \startsectionblockenvironment[backpart] \resetsubpagenumber \stopsectionblockenvironment \def\PageLabels{\pdfcatalog{/PageLabels << /Nums [ 0 << /S /r >> \the\FrontPageNumbers << /S /D >> ] >> >>}} \prependtoks \PageLabels \to \everystoptext \starttext \startfrontmatter % \chapter{Table of Contents} \completecontent[interaction=all] \chapter{Preface} \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} % \chapter{Preface} % \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} % \chapter{Preface} % \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par} \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter{Test} \dorecurse{15}{\input tufte\par} \chapter{TestAgain} \dorecurse{15}{\input ward\par} \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter Index maybe. \stopbackmatter \stoptext ============================================== A lot of the code to setup the main layout is stolen from Wolfgang :) -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

"\setuplabeltext [appendix=Appendix ]" broken mkiv
by Alan BRASLAU 23 May '10

23 May '10

1. Setting the labeltext "appendix=Appendix " with \startappendices is broken in mkiv; somewhat works in mkii. What am I doing wrong? 2. How to set the label correctly in the TOC? Alan Minimal example \setuplabeltext [chapter=Chapter ] % with trailing space; blank by default \setuplabeltext [appendix=Appendix ] % with trailing space; blank by default \setuphead [chapter] [placehead=yes] \setuplist [chapter] [label=yes,width=5em,alternative=c] \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter {one} \input knuth \stopbodymatter \startappendices \chapter {first} \input knuth \stopappendices \stoptext

weird en/em dash behaviour
by Marco 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi, I've found some in my opinion weird behaviour concerning en/em dashes. Have a look at the following two MWEs. %%%%%%%%%% \starttext - % shows up -- % missing --- % missing \endash % missing \emdash % missing \stoptext %%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%% \setupbodyfont [11.9pt] \starttext - % shows up -- % shows up --- % shows up \endash % shows up \emdash % shows up \stoptext %%%%%%%%%% Is this expected behaviour? marco

Hyphenation of composed words
by Marco 10 May '10

10 May '10

Hi, I've yet another hyphenation problem. I cannot get proper hyphenation in composed words. Take this MWE: \setuplayout [width=1.5cm] \starttext composed-word\par % not hyphenated, as expected composed||word\par % wrong: hyphenated, but an en-dash is used, % not a hyphen, so [sign=wide] seems to be the default composed|-|word\blank % wrong: hyphenated, but the hyphen is at the start of % the next line \setuphyphenmark [sign=normal] % For hyphenation a hyphen is used, % not an endash composed-word\par % not hyphenated, as expected composed||word\par % wrong: hyphen is at the start of the next line composed|-|word % wrong: hyphen is at the start of the next line \blank[2*line] \setbreakpoints [compound] % my workaround composed-word\par % correct hyphenation behaviour with hyphen \stoptext I hope with the comments the problem is clear. At first the default value for »sign« is wrong. It has to be »normal«. But with »normal« I cannot get the hyphen at the end of the line, instead it always appeares at the beginning of the next line. The workaround works but has the disadvantage that everything is hyphenated, everywhere. I prevent this at the moment by using bars: |not-a-composed-word| Thanks in advance Marco

Hello, for printing python scripts, i wish that the code to be \tt and the reserved word \bold. They are but so lightly that the difference is quasi not visible. The normal text is [sansserif, 10 pt]. Is there a solution? Thanks, rb -- René Bastian www.pythoneon.org www.musiques-rb.org http://www.soundsurvey.org.uk/

right aligned footnote
by Honza Pohanka 01 May '10

01 May '10

Hello, I can't find out, how to place footnote on the right side of the page. \setupfootnotes[location=page] \setupnotedefinition[footnote][location=right] This places the number on the right, but the text remains on the left. greetings Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratným poštovním klientem Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/
