Displaying text on a page in several steps
by Cecil Westerhof 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

I want to have several points on a page, but have them displayed one after the other. For example, the complete page is: MY POINTS 1. The first point 2. The second point 3. The third point 4. The fourth point Initially you see: MY POINTS 1. The first point After giving space you see: MY POINTS 1. The first point 2. The second point When giving again space, you see: MY POINTS 1. The first point 2. The second point 3. The third point And another space gives: MY POINTS 1. The first point 2. The second point 3. The third point 4. The fourth point Is this possible? -- Cecil Westerhof

rules with different thickness
by Reviczky, Adam 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

Hi I stumbled upon this while making a table with rules, where I wanted to have a particular row highlighted with a thicker border: http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg33678.html Since this was posted more then two years ago, I just wanted to know if anything changed on this front? Having r|l|t|b-offsets I thought I could use the same for rulethickness, but according to this, not yet. The metapost workaround works still fine, so for now I'm using that, just want to know what's the status on this. Adam

How to produce a dotless i with ConTeXt?
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Hi, I need to use some Turkish in language support training and want to typeset everything using ConTeXt (MkIV). Anybody any idea how to apply the Turkish alphabet (e.g. the dotless i), while the main language of the document is English or Dutch? I for example tried to generate the soft g, the g with the caron (inverted circumflex!) above it, using \gcaron, which just works fine. But I'm unable to generate a dotless i! Thanks! Regards, Gerard Verhaag

Hmm I still have some problems with this. How would it look like for this URL? I've tried asciimode and \letterbar + \letterpercent, but no luck. http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chs=350x220&cht=p3&chd=s:G99p&chdl=2|1|1… Thanks Adam

Google Chart URL
by Reviczky, Adam 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

Hi I have problems with special characters in URL's. What I wanted at first place, is embedding a google chart image, so I've tried this: \starttext \externalfigure[{https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=p3&chs=250x100&chd=t:60,40&chl=Hello|World}] \stoptext which fails with: ! Undefined control sequence. system > tex > error on line 3 in file test.tex: Undefined control sequence ... as far as I can tell it's the "|" symbol where it has problems. I came across this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg25806.html but no solution there either. Then I've tried to move from externalfigure to useURL, but the same problem exists. For obvious reasons I don't want to use url shorteners, as with this kind of URL I can manipulate the resulting image inside the tex source. Any thoughts or solutions? Adam

Difference between texexec and context when using indent
by Cecil Westerhof 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

With the following code: \setupindenting[yes,medium,next] \starttext \input knuth \blank \input knuth \stoptext When using texexec (MKII) the paragraph after the \blank is not indented. When using context (MKIV) it is. Why this difference? -- Cecil Westerhof
