[***SPAM***] \type works differently in MKIV than MKII
by Tom 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

The following code creates the desired output in MKII but the \par commands appear to be ignored by MKIV: \starttext \type+{\framed[frame=off,align=middle]+ \par \type+ \{\placefigure [here]+ \par \type+ {none}+ \par \type+ {\externalfigure[frontispiece][width=\textwidth]}}}+ \par \par \stoptext Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax blog: www.TomBenjey.com

ConTeXt and Drupal
by Bowen Alan C. 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Does anyone know of a project or literature addressing the possibility of running ConTeXt in a Drupal environment? There is a DruTeX module already in place but that, so far as I can tell, it is limited to LaTeX. Alan

[t-vim] Line numbers
by Marco 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hi everybodyoy Hi Aditya I like your t-vim module. I think it's a nice concept not te reinvent the wheel and to take advantage of the hundreds of syntax files of the vim contributors. 1) You have »Add line numbers« on your TODO list. What's the progress? 2) To set the font size I do the following, is there a better solution like bodyfont=xyz for definetyping or is it just fine like this? \definevimtyping [PHP] [ syntax=php, before={\switchtobodyfont[small]}, ] Marco

how to keep inmargin texts above the base of the page
by Dinh Tran 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hello. If I have a lot of inmargin or margintext, they will extend into the base of the page (defined by bottomspace). Is there a way to remedy this by some setup? This was compiled with xetex option b/c inmargin stack doesn't fully work in mkiv. Thanks, Dinh ------ \setuppapersize[letter][letter] % margins etc. \setuplayout[location=middle, topspace=1.87cm, header=0cm, width=middle, cutspace=3.1cm, %From right edge of paper to right of text area height=fit, backspace=6.1cm, %from left edge of paper to left of text area rightmargin=1.5cm, leftmargin=3.7cm, leftmargindistance=1cm, %from right of leftmargin to left of textbody bottomspace=1.62cm, footer=1.49cm, % grid=yes, % to align text on a grid. If this is on, setupwhitespace and setupinterlinespace doesn't work. setup=strict] \showframe \setupinmargin[stack=yes] \starttext \dorecurse{25}{This is some text in the page.\margintext{This is text in the margin.} \par} \stoptext

howto set maxitemdepth
by Florian Wobbe 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hi, what is the preferred way to set the maximum item depth for itemization with symbols? I can decrease the default value of 6 with \setcounter. However, increasing to values higher than 6 results in an error: "Missing number, treated as zero". Thanks, Florian

\definelistplacement + margin
by Andreas Harder 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hi all, please have a look at the following example. The first chapter entry in the table of contents looks good, but the following entries adopt the margin setting from \setuplist[section][margin=3em] and I can't get rid of it … Any hint? \definelistplacement[ChapListItem][none]#1#2#3% {\inframed[width=broad]{#1\emspace #2\hfill #3}} \setuplist[chapter][alternative=ChapListItem] \setuplist[section][margin=3em] \starttext \showframe \placelist[chapter,section] \dorecurse{3}{\chapter{Chapter}\dorecurse{3}{\section{Section}}} \stoptext Greeting Andreas

defined symbols - question/feature suggestion
by Florian Wobbe 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hi Hans, in symb-mis.mkiv you define most symbols with \mathematics. I don't know why you take these symbols from the math font. Just in case the symbol does not exist in the regular font, I would guess. Problem is only, that you will loose most symbols when switching the math font to something else than computer-modern (I tested with euler and cambria). BTW: I wonder how many contexters use modern for math... Anyway it appears most fonts have geometric shapes and common symbols and dingbats. So I end up redefining the symbols: \definesymbol [bullet] [\textbullet] \definesymbol [dash] [--] \definesymbol [star] [\char"2734] \definesymbol [triangle] [\char"25B6] \definesymbol [square] [\char"25A0] \definesymbol [diamond] [\char"25C6] \definesymbol [checkmark] [\char"2713] Also it looks nicer when you use item symbols matching the text font. Maybe you would consider this and prefer symbols from the text font rather than those from the math font and keep \mathematics only as fall back should the glyph be unavailable. Cheers, Florian

Spacing for unnumbered equations
by S Barmeier 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

The spacing for numbered and unnumbered equations is different: \input tufte \placeformula[-] \startformula a=b \stopformula \input tufte \placeformula \startformula a=b \stopformula \input tufte \placeformula[-] seems to insert extra space after the displayed equation. Removable feature? Thank you, Severin
