Wiki Topics Menu
by Mathieu DUPONT 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

Hi, Is there a menu page on the wiki to see all the topics/pages there are, such as these few examples : http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLEhttp://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout I really can't find it if it exits.Otherwise that would be very, very useful, rather that only hitting them when searching for something. Thanks ! Mathieu

DocBook in ConTeXt - any new ideas?
by Piotr Kopszak 05 Jun '11

05 Jun '11

Dear list, I am beginning a rather tedious documentation project and will most probably end up with DocBook. The fact is I haven't used it for any serious work for about 10 years. Docbook In ConText haven't been updated since 2003. Does it mean it's so perfect or instead rather obsolete? Could you recommend other approaches which work out-of-the-box (or almost). Obviously I would prefer ConTeXt based solutions. DocBook is not mandatory in fact, I would happily learn other documentation system. Main prerequisite is utf-8 output at least in pdf and html and sensible defaults (this time I don't want to be a typographer, nor I want to fiddle with structure). Best Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Re: [NTG-context] Problem installing minimals on PowerMac G4

However, it does not ask me to provide a proper tex root and the file is processed normally. I would be grateful for any help but please don't spend too much time on it. I can live with the installation as it is now. Fortunately I have this other Mac on which the minimals work without problems. Kind regards, Robert Blackstone

xml syntax for \externalfigure
by Thomas A. Schmitz 04 Jun '11

04 Jun '11

Hi all, I'm pulling my hair - thought this was easy, but turns out to be more difficult. The \externalfigure command can take a width and/or a height parameter, and context will be happy to take either one into account. I'm trying to translate that into xml syntax. Here's a minimal example that I can't make work. If anyone can explain what to do here, I might be able to work this out (or will be back with more questions :-) \startbuffer[test] <a> <externalfigure height="1cm" resource="hacker"/> </a> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups xml:testsetups \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{a|externalfigure}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:testsetups} \startxmlsetups xml:a \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:externalfigure \externalfigure[\xmlatt{#1}{resource}] [\doifnotempty{\xmlatt{#1}{height}}{height=\xmlatt{#1}{height}}] \stopxmlsetups \starttext \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test}{} \stoptext The "height" attribute is not taken into account - why? All best Thomas

Custom function

04 Jun '11

Hello, I'm rather new to ConTeXt and would like to simplify my document, in order to simplify processing of documents. I have this: \defineparagraphs[infos][n=1] \setupparagraphs[infos][1][ style={\switchtobodyfont[6pt]}, %command=????, ] \starttext \startinfos \smash{\lower22pt\hbox{ \margintext[left]{ Edition de Trilogie de l'enfer en novembre 2011 chez Sens Tonka }}} \stopinfos \input tufte \stoptext I would like to avoid putting "\inmargin" and "\smash{\lower22pt\hbox{..." by hand and add it directly to the setupparagraphs. Can I do such a thing? Thanks for help! Stéphanie -- <stdin> Stéphanie Vilayphiou http://stdin.fr/ +32 (0)4 89 00 88 59

marginal material in Arabic, tei/xml context mkiv
by Jon Crump 04 Jun '11

04 Jun '11

All, Pardon for trying to boost the topic, but I still can't seem to gain control over marginal material in an Arabic section using the new typo-mar.mkiv. I confess, it's quite likely that I'm just not getting something obvious. I've rotated the page to landscape to show where the marginal material winds up when margin is [right]. When it's [left], it overwrites the beginning of the Arabic line If anyone has thoughts on this, I'd be grateful. context environment file: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \startxmlsetups xml:teisetups \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{-} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{body}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{div[@xml:id='arab']}{xml:div:arab} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{div[@xml:id='engl']}{xml:div:engl} \xmlsetsetup{#1}{lb}{xml:lb} \stopxmlsetups \setuppapersize[][A3,landscape] \setuplayout[width=middle,textwidth=5in] \xmlregistersetup{xml:teisetups} \environment ara-sty \startxmlsetups xml:body \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:lb \MarText{\tfxx{xml linebreak numbers}} \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \definemargindata [MarText][right][color=red] \startxmlsetups xml:div:arab \setarabic{\switchtobodyfont[Arabic] \xmlflush{#1}} \endgraf \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:div:engl \setlatin{\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ XML source: ~~~~~~~~~~ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <body> <div type="month" xml:id="arab"> <lb n="01" />فقد صممنا على السفر الى اورباو ممشانا من هنا سيكون </div> <div type="month" xml:id="engl"> <lb n="01" />And so, we decided to travel to Europe.
