unicode no-break spaces
by Peter Münster 05 Jul '10

Hello, This used to work with MKIV, but with today's version, it does not: \starttext X X THIN SPACE (U+2009)\blank X X NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE (U+202F)\blank X X NO-BREAK SPACE (U+00A0)\blank \stoptext Should this work, or should we rather use "~" and "\," as in the past? Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

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.

nomarking function in MKIV
by John Devereux 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Hi, I gather the \nomarking function has been removed from MKIV. All I can find out about this is a note on the Wiki, towards the end of http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MkIV_Differences Unfortunately I don't understand the example given. What I want is to replace things like \chapter{Short Title \nomarking{Rest Of Title}} ....so that "Short Title Rest Of Title" appears as the chapter title, but just "Short Title" appears in the TOC, PDF bookmarks and footers. Thanks, -- John Devereux

blurred shadow on images?
by Henning Hraban Ramm 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

I'd like to place some plain photos rotated (say 12°) and with a blurred shadow above some colored elements, i.e. the shadow must use transparency. I guess I could get such using ImageMagick, but is there a possibility using ConTeXt or one of its favourite friends? I'd prefer a solution that works with CMYK data. If there isn't - is the transparency of PNG usable? Since all of the pictures will have almost the same size, I could probably also use the shadow as a single PDF picture and place that behind with a small offset. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

CSS glitch in the garden
by Henning Hraban Ramm 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

I guess Safari 5 changed some CSS behaviour, because in Firefox it's still ok: the menu column appears below instead left of the content area. logo position is ok, x positions of the areas seem also ok, just the y position of the menu area is wrong.
