Macros for paper feedback form
by Cecil Westerhof 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

I am trying to make a set of macros for a paper feedback form. The first part is: \setuplayout [backspace=20mm,footer=5mm,header=5mm,height=middle,margin=1cm,topspace=0mm,width=middle] \setupindenting[yes,none] \enableregime[utf-8] \mainlanguage[nl] \setupbodyfont[roman, 12pt] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setupoutput[pdf] \def\CheckBoxes[#1,#2]% {\blank #1\par \processcommalist[#2]\doCheckBoxes \blank \crlf } \def\doCheckBoxes#1% {\hskip2.5em[\hskip1em] #1\par } \def\GetComment[#1]{ \blank #1\par \thinrules[n=4] \blank \crlf } \def\Title[#1]{ \par \startalignment[center] {\switchtobodyfont[18pt]\bf\em#1} \stopalignment \blank } But I would like to have also a macro for the following: {\bf Contact gegevens:} \setupfillinrules[width=3cm] \fillinrules{Bedrijf:} \fillinrules{Naam:} \fillinrules{Adres:} \fillinrules{PC Woonplaats:} \fillinrules{E-mail} \fillinrules{Telefoon:} \fillinrules{GSM:} \blank \crlf The biggest problem is that the width is dependent on the longest text that is given here. In this case PC Woonplaats. Is there a smart way to calculate the right value? Another problem is that the distance between lines with fillinrules is about twice as big as with normal lines. How can I get the distance the same as with normal lines? -- Cecil Westerhof M CLDWesterhof(a)gmail.com O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org Please do not send me Microsoft Office/Apple iWork documents.

dorecurse in table
by Cecil Westerhof 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

The following code does what I want: \blank \SetTableToWidth{\textwidth} \starttable[|lp(0.90\textwidth)|] Some text \SR \SR \HL \SR \HL \SR \HL \SR \HL \stoptable \blank I would think that the following code is equivalent: \blank \SetTableToWidth{\textwidth} \starttable[|lp(0.90\textwidth)|] Some text \SR \dorecurse{4}{ \SR \HL } \stoptable \blank But it is not. I get: Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in alignment at lines 39--49 [][][][][] ! Misplaced \noalign. \TABLEnoalign ->\noalign \bgroup \let \noalign \relax \let \next = \insertTABLEtail ->\TABLEnoalign {\global \settrue \preventTABLEbreak \globa... \stoptable ->\chuckTABLEautorow \insertTABLEtail \TABLEnoalign {\globalletem... l.60 \stoptable and h gives: I expect to see \noalign only after the \cr of an alignment. Proceed, and I'll ignore this case. What am I doing wrong? -- Cecil Westerhof M CLDWesterhof(a)gmail.com O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org Please do not send me Microsoft Office/Apple iWork documents.

vim syntax highlighting in MKIV
by Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi Hans, Mojca, Aditya and List, just tried to use the vim Syntax Highlighting module in ConTeXt MKIV, but if running the documents complains it searches a file called filename-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp sure that file not exists but there is a file called filename-vimsyntax.tmp is there a way to do a workaround so that the vim Syntaxhighlighting module would work in MKIV or does it need to be rewriten completedly?

breaking a line
by Hannes Baur 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Dear all I should break a line to correct for an "Overfull \hbox ..." error. How can I achieve this, so that the line before the manual line break remains justified. Example: Original text "Abb. 1. Männchen von Megarhyssa rixator, einer charakteristischen Schlupf- wespe von im Holz lebenden Pflanzenwespen. R. Burri. Während der " The word "Schlupf" cannot be hyphenated any further and therefore "Schlupfwespe" should be put on the next line. However, the above line above becomes raggedright with standard commands, e.g. \crlf. So, how can I force the word "Schlupfwespe" to the next line so that the the entire paragraph remains justified? The command should be the equivalent to LaTeX's \linebreak command. Any suggestions welcome. Regards Hannes

linking to equations with leqalignno?
by Pau 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Hello, I am a bit lost. I am using this format for an equation: ----------------------------------------------------------------- \placeformula[nohair] \startformula \leqalignno{ - M^{}_{\bullet}a^{2}_{\bullet} = & M^{}_{2} = - \frac{J^{2}_{1}}{M^{}_{0}} \,, \cr - M^{}_{\bullet}a^{3}_{\bullet} = & J^{}_{3} = \frac{M^{}_{2}J^{}_{1}}{M^{}_{0}}\,. \cr } \stopformula ----------------------------------------------------------------- but then,using \in[nohair] to link to the equation in the text of the document does not work. I get a [??] I think this is related to leqalignno, because \in[] works fine without it. What should I do in this case? thanks, Pau

extra row at the end of matrix
by Chen Shen 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

The matrix from the following example has an extra row at the end. ============= \starttext \startformula A = \startmatrix[left={\left(\,},right={\,\right)}] \NC 1 \NC 2 \NR \NC 3 \NC 4 \NR \stopmatrix \stopformula \stoptext ============= I am using mkiv version: MTXrun | current version: 2010.07.30 11:35 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.62.0-2010082314 Removing the last \NR fixes the problem, but this is certainly different from the previous mkiv/mkii behavior. I wonder this is an intended change, or is it a bug ? Thanks a lot! regards, shenchen

beta
by Hans Hagen 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

Hi, I uploaded a beta. There have been quite some changes in the lua code, not so much in terms of functionality but in organization (a first step to a more formal api). So, if you use calls to functions in mkiv, you might need to check it. There have been some extensions but those will become available when the next luatex release happens.
