page breaking
by Hans van der Meer 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

With \page[no] one may try to inhibit a page break at that point. Is there an option for encouraging breaking a page at that point without directly forcing one? Hans van der Meer

Hi, In the process of extending math export I decided to finish and integrate an old experiment with units. Details can change as can configuration. \usemodule[dimensions] \setupbackend[export=yes] \starttext \startlines $10\su{km/h}$ $\su{10 km/h}$ \su{10 km/h} 10\su{km/h} 10 \su{km/h} $10 \su{km/h}$ 10 \su{KiloMeter/Hour} 10 \su{kilometer/hour} 10 \su{km/h} 10 \su{kilometer per hour} 10 \su{km / h} 10 \su{ km / h } 10 \su{km/ms2} 10 \su{meter per second} 10 \su{cubic meter} 10 \su{cubic meter per second} 10 \su{cubic meter / second} $10 \su{cubic meter / second}$ 30 \su{kilo pascal } 30 \su{kilo pascal square meter / second} 30 \su{kilo pascal square meter / kelvin second} \su{30 kilo pascal square meter / kelvin second} $30 \su{kilo pascal square meter / kelvin second }$ 30 \su{crap} 30 \su{AC} $ \frac{10 \su{m/s}}{20 \su{m/s}} $ {\ss 30 \su{kilo pascal square meter / second kelvin}} \stoplines \stoptext I might decide to push it in the core. The su is an abbreviation for scientific unit as we already have \unit (which I like more) and \dim is also taken. Of course \u would be even nicer but that's a accent placement (ok, we could drop all those as we have utf). Using two character names is not handy as they look like language switches.

Intersection of Header and Leftmargindistance
by H. Hodges 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

I have a background for my header that is supposed to extend over the entire width of the page (leftedge to rightedge). The background is interrupted in the area where the header intersects the space between text and left margin. There is no option to include leftmargindistance in \setupbackgrounds. Bug, workarounds? My code is below. There is no rightmargin, by the way. \setupbackgrounds[header][text,leftmargin,leftedge,rightedge] [background=color,backgroundcolor=horizstrip][state=repeat]

another columns behaviour
by Hans van der Meer 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

I find the following strange in columns. In the second \startcolumns\stopcolumns one would expect that the short text fragment in the column to the right, is placed in the wide open space on the first page. But in contrast, it is set to the left on a next page. Quite unnecessary, because in the column to the right there is enough space. This behaviour seems to be initiated by the neighbourhood of the bottom of the page. \setupcolumns[rule=on] \showframe \starttext \startcolumns short text \column \input tufte \stopcolumns \hairline \startcolumns \input tufte \column short text \stopcolumns \stoptext Furthermore, \column doesn't seem a "hard" command, because it is completely ignored in: \startcolumns \input tufte \column short text \stopcolumns Hans van der Meer

columns behaviour
by Hans van der Meer 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

Is it normal that after \setupcolumns[balance=no] the dividing line is not fully drawn in the case where the column at the left is shorter than the one to the right. And furthermore that balance=no inserts a pagebreak, whereas balance=yes does not? Below a minimal example. Hans van der Meer \setupcolumns[rule=on,balance=no] \starttext \startcolumns Short leftcolumn. \column Long rightcolumn. Long rightcolumn. Long rightcolumn. Long rightcolumn. Long rightcolumn. Long rightcolumn. Long rightcolumn. Long rightcolumn. \stopcolumns \hairline \startcolumns Long leftcolumn. Long leftcolumn. Long leftcolumn. Long leftcolumn. Long leftcolumn. Long leftcolumn. Long leftcolumn. Long leftcolumn. \column Short rightcolumn. \stopcolumns \stoptext

textrule customization
by Hans van der Meer 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

The \texrule is typeset as: --- _TEXT_ ----------------------------- this I would like to change to: ----------------------------- _TEXT_ --- \setuptextrules has location=left|inmargin but regrettably not location=right or location=middle (or center) (neither in the wiki nor by experiment). Isn't that easily implemented? If so, it would be appreciated. As an aside, setting up the thickness of the line seems desirable to, especially in view of the fact that other aspects as the color are already customizable. Hans van der Meer

Space between item symbol and item text
by Christian 08 Jul '11

08 Jul '11

Dear all, how do I decrease the horizontal whitespace between the symbol and the text in an item[ize] list? The manual suggests this: \startitemize[1*serried] \item Test \stopitemize It's not working, I get the same distance as with no option at all . Test But I wanted . Test In fact, the option <<n>>*serried does not have any effect, whereas <<n>>*broad is working properly. Any suggestions? Thanks!
