focus=standard not respected
by Marco 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

In the following example the page focus jumps back to »fit« after clicking on the footnote number after »Foo«, although »focus=standard« is set. \setupinteraction [state=start, focus=standard] \starttext Foo \startfootnote Bar \stopfootnote \stoptext How to respect the users scaling factor? BTW: Is there a particular reason why »focus=fit« is the default? Why should the page scaling change because the user clicked on a hyperlink? Marco

Hello, I'm working on a project to set up exams, basing the work on Aditya's asignment class that was published in Practex in 2006. I have a problem getting title information printed correctly. This is a cut-down version: \setupcolors [state=start] \definecolor [colorone] [r=0.625,g=0,b=0] %dark red \definecolor [colortwo] [b=0.625,g=0,r=0] %dark blue \def\exam[#1] {\getrawparameters [Exam] [ title= course=, date=, start=, stop=, #1] \title{\Examtitle}} \definefont [BigFontOne] [RegularSlanted sa 2.5] \definefont [BigFontTwo] [Regular sa 1.5] \setuphead[title] [ style=\BigFontOne, command=\examtitle, before={}, after={\blank[big] \bgroup \colortwo Date: \expanded{\date[Examdate]} \hfill Start: \expanded{Examstart} Stop: \expanded{Examstop} \egroup\blank}, ] %D This macro does the actual typesetting of the title \def\examtitle#1#2% {\framed[ width=broad, frame=off, align=middle, foregroundcolor=colortwo, % I want a shadow around the title frame background=shadow] {#2\\{Examcourse}}} \exam[ title=Mid-term 2010, course=ES2917, date={d=17,m=2,y=2010}, start={9:00 am}, stop={11:00 am} ] I'm processing this with Mark II. The problems are that (1) The literal 'Examcourse' is typeset; (2) Today's date is typset, not the one entered in the interface; (3) The start and stop times are typeset as literals 'Examstart' & 'Examstop' Thanks for any help, Roger %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: context %%% TeX-master: t %%% End:

Hi Aditya, > Could be due to the change in catcode of &. Try adding \donknuthmode. It doesn't make any difference if I put the \donknuthmode just before \starttikzpicture.

Process remaining floats
by Aditya Mahajan 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Hi, Is there a command that will flush all unprocessed floats. For example, consider the following: %-------- text 1 \placefigure[fig:1]{...}{...} \FLUSHALLFLOATS text 2 %----------- I don't want text 2 to be placed unless fig:1 has been processed (even if it means an under filled page). Thanks, Aditya

background over two page
by Emanuele Sacco 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Hi all, I'm using context MkII. My code is \setupcolors[state=start] \setupbackground [bottomframe=on, rulethickness=1pt, rightframe=on, leftframe=on] \starttext Good: \startbackground \input knuth \stopbackground Not good: \startbackground \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \stopbackground \stoptext The second backgrounded text is on two pages. Is there a way to not show the bottomframe at the end of the first page? thanks ES -- Al mondo ci sono 10 tipi di persone: quelli che conoscono il sistema binario e quelli che non lo conoscono.
