Problems with TABLE
by Patrick Gundlach 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi, I still have some problems with TABLE: \bTABLE[frame=on] \bTR \bTD abc \eTD \bTD abc \eTD \bTD[frame=off,rightframe=on,rulethickness=1mm] abc \eTD \bTD abc \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[background=color, backgroundcolor=yellow] abc \eTD \bTD[nc=2,nr=2,background=color, backgroundcolor=yellow] \externalfigure[cow][width=.2\textwidth] \eTD \bTD abc \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD abc \eTD \bTD abc \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD abc \eTD \bTD abc \eTD \bTD abc \eTD \bTD abc \eTD \eTR \eTABLE 1) the cow sticks out of the cell. How can I pen the cow to the cell? 2) the third cell in the first row: when I turn on the right rule, the "abc" goes down. How can I have the abc on the baseline with the other ones in the first row _and_ have a right rule like that? Patrick

Still struggling with TABLE width
by Patrick Gundlach 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi, as the subject says: I am still confused about widths of TABLE tables. \bTABLE % [option=stretch] \bTR \bTD A \eTD \bTD A \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nc=2] %\hbox{A very very long text in one line, perhaps more} A very very long text in one line, perhaps more \eTD \eTR \eTABLE what I'd like to get is a table that is as wide as the text in the second row (A very very long text in one line, perhaps more) or at most the line width and the other two cells (the first line) stretched to mach that width (see image). I am pretty sure that this is possible, but how?!? Patrick

Hi List! I'm using TEI for a personal project, and I'd like to set it using ConTeXt. I'm having a bit of trouble getting started, and I was wondering if anyone has an environment file for TEI Lite that they'd like to share. It would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance, Mica

Hello, In Mk II, I need to place figures - with numbers and captions - but \placefigure is for floats and never places the figure [here]. Is there another way? Thanks, -- René Bastian www.pythoneon.org www.musiques-rb.org

poster in context
by Jan Pohanka 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hello, I wonder how to create a poster presentation using ConTeXt. It should have following layout. _____________________ | title, ... | _____________________ | | | | | text in 3 columns | | with titles etc. | | | _____________________ | acknowledgement | _____________________ Is there any way to fix the height of the depicted areas? Now I use columnset for the main text. Maybe layers can be useful? regards Jan -- Ing.

Problems with x-set-11.mkiv
by Cedric Mauclair 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi, For some reason, line 248 of x-set-11.mkiv file (\blank[\v!line]) is not taken into account. As a result, when typesetting the setup-??.pdf files, the line of the first argument being described after a command is be too high and the word "optional" is mixed with it. When we change "\blank[\v!line]" with the low-level "\vskip\lineheight" it works as expected (or it seems). I understand this is not "beautiful", but it is a workaround for now. I am sure a fix will be available shortly. I noticed this when generating the seup file with the command (MkIV): "mtxrun --script context --run --interface=en --global --result=setup-en --purge x-set-12". There is no problem with the MkII equivalent (as it uses x-set-11.mkii instead): "texexec --int=en --pdf --global --result=setup-en --purge x-set-12". Regards. -- Cédric

colsep / left rule in TABLE
by Patrick Gundlach 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi, 1) how do I define colsep in a TABLE table? 2) how do I get a left rule only in a TABLE cell? I've tried: \bTR \bTD[leftframe=on,rulethickness=2pt] 2 \eTD \eTR but that gave me a completely framed cell. Thanks Patrick

Question regarding strc-not.mkiv
by Elias Oltmanns 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi all, trying to figure out how postponed notes are processed in MkIV, I'm wondering when, or indeed, whether the tokens in \everyinsidenoteinsert and friends are being inserted. The reason for my curiosity is that I'm to understand why the setting of margindistance has no effect in the following example: \setupnote[footnote][location=text,margindistance=0cm] \starttext Some\footnote{Very short.} text. \placenotes[footnote] \stoptext Regards, Elias
