Left/right justification and interline-spacing inside natural tables (TABLE)
by Stefan Müller 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi list, this is probably pretty easy to solve, but I didn't find anything about in on wiki or mailing list about it. I'm using ConTeXt MkIV. How can I get the text in the following example to be left and right justified, i.e. the default alignment behaviour of text outside a TABLE ("\starttext \input knuth \stoptext")? \starttext \bTABLE \bTR[width=10cm] \bTD \input knuth \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext In addition: is it possible to increase or decrease the interline-spacing of the text inside the TABLE cell? How? Thanks in advance, Stefan

Obviously, > I'm doing something wrong. As far as I know, you cannot define fontsynonyms to typefaces. If you want to use names like 'TextFont' as a typeface, you have to use \definetypeface. Best wishes, Taco Thanks, Taco. That did the trick. Now to experiment with more of the fonts included in the TexLive distribution.

Hello, What about \super and \suber¹? Are these commands replaced by other commands, obsolete, broken,... ? ¹ http://pmrb.free.fr/contextref.pdf section 19.6, page 340 -- Peter

Multiline formula numbering problems
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi, I cannot understand why, but multiline formulas are not numbered. \starttext % has number \placeformula \startformula f(x_0, u_0)=0. \stopformula % has no number \placeformula \startformula \startalign \NC \dot{x}(t) \NC=f(x(t), u(t)) \NR \NC y(t) \NC=h(x(t), u(t)), \NR \stopalign \stopformula % no numbers even here \startsubformulas \placeformula \startformula \dot{x}(t)=f(x(t), u(t)) \stopformula \placeformula \startformula y(t) =h(x(t), u(t)), \stopformula \stopsubformulas \stoptext Regards, Vyatcheslav

Problem switching fonts in MKII
by Tom 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Kudos for the new documentation chapters on Typography and Fonts. However, I still can't completely get my hands around it. Running the following code under TexLive MKII doesn't give the desired results in that defining font synonyms and switching to those typefaces doesn't seem to work. Obviously, I'm doing something wrong. \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] \setupbodyfont[palatino,11pt] \definefontsynonym[AltTextFont][palatino] \usetypescriptfile[type-one] \usetypescript[bookman][default] \setupbodyfont[bookman,11pt] \definefontsynonym[TextFont][bookman] \starttext \switchtotypeface[TextFont] \showbodyfont \input knuth \blank[big] \switchtotypeface[AltTextFont] \showbodyfont \input knuth \blank[big] \switchtotypeface[bookman][11pt] \showbodyfont \input knuth \blank[big] \switchtotypeface[palatino][11pt] \showbodyfont \input knuth \stoptext Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax blog: www.TomBenjey.com

Feature request: Title Case/Start Case
by Reviczky, Adam 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi, May I ask for supporting Title Case or Start Case in core ConTeXt? Eg: The first letter of each word is capitalized, the rest are lower case. It would be nice to have something like these: \TitleCase{What to capitalize in title case} resulting in "What to Capitalize in Title Case" \StartCase{What to capitalize in start case} resulting in "What To Capitalize In Start Case" If something like this doesn't belong to the core, then can somebody tell me how to achieve that as a macro (I've just briefly looked at the typo-cap)? Thanks, Adam

Dear Aditya, Thank you for your nice solution. > > \startformula \startalign[n=1] > \NC equation 1 \NR > \NC equation 2 \NR > \NC \startmatrix[left={\left.}, right={\right\}}, n=1, align=middle] > \NC equation 3 \NR > \NC equation 4 \NR > \NC equation 5 \NR > \stopmatrix > some text here \NR > \NC equation 6 \NR > \stopalign \stopformula > It works nicely. I erase \NR after equation 5 because it makes another blank line below eq 5. > > Math support will be reworked at some stage in MkIV. > Since I am not using a complicate equations, math support in ConTeXt is OK. And your mathalign is very helpful to me. Best regards, Dalyoung
