Third field of useURL

At http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/useURL there is a description of useURL. I am using it for HTTP and e-mail referencing. But I do not understand where the third parameter is used for, -- Cecil Westerhof

Composing a header/logo with layers, linebreak issues

Hello, I guess this is an easy one. How do I get the top lines to behave like the second example? Why is the newline ignored in the top one? -Christian

about \framed and \inframed
by Jeong Dalyoung 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Dear all, I defined "Example" as following: \defineenumeration[Example] [location=serried, headstyle=bold, command={\framed[height=1.3em]}, text={\ss \white 예제}, prefix=yes, prefixsegments=chapter, way=bychapter, width=broad, number=yes, before={\blank[big]}, after=\blank] The problem is that the bottom of the framed text is aligned just below the center of the following text lines. The vertical center is a little bit higher than that of the following lines. If I use "\inframed", then the top line of the frame is a little bit higher than the center of the following sentence, so there is almost no space between the frame and the texts in the next line. In the manual \inframed makes vertical center alignment, but I can't make it. I'd like to make vertical center alignment framed word and the normal text line which follows. How can I do it? Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

[framed] how to deal with big text?
by Milton Galo Patricio Inostroza Aguilera 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Hi, I'm a new user of context. I'm working with \framed and I have a problem when I try to fit a big text in it :-(. The system cuts the text and it doesn't display in the next page. I read the manual but I can not find an argument of framed that can do this job. An example of my code is the following: \framed[align={stretch}]{ a big text...... } Regards, -- Milton

Only one thing: when the variables are not set (forgot the environment parameter, file not correctly set, ...) I would like to set default values.

Text to edges of page
by John Haltiwanger 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hi all, I would have though the following code would produce text flush to the edges of the "paper", but there is significant whitespace on the right and bottom sides. Probably there is an obvious setting, but it eludes me now: \definepapersize[short][width=600px,height=440px] \setuppapersize[short][short] \setuplayout[ backspace=0mm, topspace=0mm, margin=0mm, header=0mm, footer=0mm ] \setupindenting[none] \setupwhitespace[medium] \setupinterlinespace[22pt] \starttext \input Tufte \input Knuth \input Tufte \stoptext

file dependencies
by pmlists＠free.fr 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hello, Here comes a little feature request: it would be nice, if context allowed us to write a file with dependency information, like a C-compiler does for the dependencies of a C-file on the included header files. The best would be, to get such dependencies directly in Makefile syntax. Example: Say you have a main context file "main.tex" that includes an environment file "../env.tex" and a figure "subdir/figure.jpg", then running context --dependencies=main.d main would create "main.pdf" and also "main.d" with this line: main.tex: ../env.tex subdir/figure.jpg -- Peter
