setting margin for second level of itemize
by Aditya Mahajan 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Hi, I want items to display as follows (| represents the text area edge) | 1. First item | 2. Second item | 2.1 Sub item | 2.2 Sub item | 3. Third item I could not find a way to control the margin of the second level. Setting \setupitemize[1][margin=2em] \setupitemize[2][margin=4em] does not work. Thanks, Aditya

Dear Woldgang, I replaced a line in scrn-fld.mkvi as you suggested. After compiling, animation worked well. Will it be fixed in the next beta? Thank you. Dalyoung

Figure Background Colour
by Kip Warner 08 Sep '11

08 Sep '11

Hey folks, I am using the following to insert a full page landscape figure: \FullPageLandscapeDiagram {SomeDiagram} {Some diagram's caption.} {Some_Diagram.svg} Which is defined as follows: \def\FullPageLandscapeDiagram#1#2#3% { \page \setuppapersize[diagram] \setuplayout[fullpage] \startframedtext[width=.95\textwidth,bottom=\vss,top= \vss,align=right,corner=rectangular] \placefigure [force][figure:#1] {#2} {\externalfigure[#3][width=.95\textwidth]} \stopframedtext \page \setuppapersize[main] \setuplayout[reset] } It works great, except that most of my figures have transparent backgrounds and since the page colour is already black, I can't make out some of the images properly. How can I set the figure background colour for transparent images? -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Retrieve the content of comments

Hi, I have a text with commented spans. The comments come later in the book, and I'd like to show the commented parts just above the comments themselves. Here is a pseudo code: Vestibulum ante \commented[mycomment]{ipsum primis} in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Fusce pretium orci lectus, a egestas sapien. Maecenas ante tellus, cursus sed feugiat non, lacinia sit amet dui. Nam vel tortor sed leo pulvinar ornare. \pagereference[mycomment] This is my comment... I'd like to get something like this: Vestibulum ante _ipsum primis_^1 in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Fusce pretium orci lectus, a egestas sapien. Maecenas ante tellus, cursus sed feugiat non, lacinia sit amet dui. Nam vel tortor sed leo pulvinar ornare. (page break) _ipsum primis_ This is my comment... Is there any way to achieve this? Thanks, Alex

Re: [NTG-context] Embedding of ICC profiles and preflight
by Honza Hejzl 07 Sep '11

It seems, after several preflights, that option=always in \setupbackends still does not work. Is anyone able to try to produce such a file an offer it for preflight? I have tried it on both win and unix standalone installations, have icc profiles placed correctly but Acrobat still says the same… Thanks, Honza Hejzl

Dear Wolfgang, In the recent beta, \startanimation \stopanimation is not working. There is a undefined control sequence error at \stopanimation. In the version 2011/08/10, it works fine. Is there anything changed in the recent version? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

defected by simple stuff - agane
by Ian Lawrence 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

Hi All.. In the charts module you can set a whole cell to be a hyperlink \destination {url(http://www.talkphysics.org)} So what can I write to link to a local file? Along the lines of… \destination {url(file://XXX.pdf)} …where the pdf is in same directory as the file containing the target… This seems as if it ought to be kind of simple, but also seems undocumented… Thanks Ian

Hi, "\kerncharacters" doesn't have an influence on interword space in current context version. Is this intended? Steffen ------- \definehead[TopLevel] [chapter] \setuphead[TopLevel] [style=\bf,textstyle={\kerncharacters[.75]}, align=flushleft,alternative=paragraph] \starttext \startTopLevel[title={This is a test}] text \stopTopLevel \stoptext
