Is there a way to define a description based on another one, so that all parameters except the specified ones are inherited from the "base one"? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

How to achieve a LaTeX-center-like thing
by Marcin Borkowski 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

Hi, I'd like to have something like this: Let $X$ be a~real Banach space, $D$~an open subset of~$X$ containing~$0$ and $T$ a~continuous mapping from $\overbar{D}$ to~$X$. We say that $T$ satisfies the {\em Mönch condition} if the following implication holds: \blank[small] \startalignment[middle] If $C\subset\overbar{D}$ is countable and $C\subset\clconv\bigl(\{0\}\cup F(C)\bigr)$, then $\overbar{C}$ is compact. \stopalignment \blank[small] Is there any option for alignment which would enable me not to put the blanks manually? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

Captions' alignment
by Honza Hejzl 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

Hello, I am re-posting my question because the last one was not clear and properly written. I am trying to set captions like paragraphs where the label is indented negatively, like in case of itemize lists. I was successful with the shape (\hbox{\vtop ...}}) but don't think my solution is useful. I am not able to set this via \setupcaptions and styles. I need something like: Fig. 1 This figures how to... ... solve the problem. This shape is very common in books and is common in cases of long paragraphs in captions. My test source: \mainlanguage[cz] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid[yes] \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] \setupexternalfigures[] \def\myblank{\blank[5pt]} \definefont[headcap][SerifBold at 7pt] \definefont[bodycap][SerifItalic at 7pt] \definefloat[pic][pics] \setupfloat[pic][location=right] \setupfloats[spacebefore=none,frame=on,spaceafter=none,rightmargindistance=0pt,margin=5pt] \setupcaptions[location=bottom,style={\bodycap\setupinterlinespace[small]}% I don't want smaller captions' text on grid. ,headstyle={\headcap\setupinterlinespace[small]},distance=3pt,inbetween=\myblank] \setuplabeltext[cz][figure=Obr.: ] \starttext \placefigure[right]{To je právě to, co člověka bude zas a znovu mrzet.}{\externalfigure[jahve][width=6cm]} A jde, jak nejlépe umí; náhle slyší za sebou kroky. Člověk s~vyhrnutým límcem jde za ním. Zdá se, že běží. A Prokop se v~nesnesitelné hrůze dal na útěk.Ale zrovna na krok před chodcem se mu udělá v~hlavě tma a celý svět se s~ním pojednou zatočí; náhle vidí zblízka, zblizoučka pár pronikavých očí, jak se do něho vpíchly, naráží na něčí rameno, vypraví ze sebe cosi jako "promiňte" a vzdaluje se s~křečovitou důstojností. Po několika krocích se zastaví a ohlédne; ten člověk stojí a dívá se upřeně za ním. Prokop se sebere a odchází trochu rychleji; ale nedá mu to, musí se znovu ohlédnout; a vida, ten člověk ještě pořád stojí a dívá se za ním, dokonce samou pozorností vysunul z~límce hlavu jako želva. "Ať kouká," myslí si Prokop znepokojen, "teď už se ani neohlédnu." A jde, jak nejlépe umí; náhle slyší za sebou kroky. Člověk s~vyhrnutým límcem jde za ním. Zdá se, že běží. \stoptext Thanks, Honza Hejzl

Custom parameters/options for t-vim
by Andreas Schneider 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

Hi, I worked with t-vim a bit more and encountered a small problem with the way vim handles syntax definitions. Some of them have several modes that get activated by setting a variable first. For example the syntax "sh" (shell scripts) can be enhanced for bash, ksh, etc. Example: let g:is_bash=1 set syntax=sh Now a line like "export foo=bar" is highlighted differently than when I would omit the "let g:is_bash=1". Therefore I would propose another options to \setupvimtyping to specify custom options to be passed to vim. Preferably they should be passed at least before the "set syntax=..." line to make sure that this particular case -- i.e. switching syntax modes -- works well (which may be the only necessary case). -- Best Regards, Andreas

A description question
by Marcin Borkowski 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

Hi all! I have something like this: \definedescription[definition][ text=Definition, location=hanging, width=fit, align=flushleft, headstyle=bold, style=normal, ] \startdefinition{whatever} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent arcu nisl, interdum nec dignissim sit amet, blandit eu purus. Nulla facilisi. Vivamus quis metus mauris. Sed laoreet vulputate rhoncus. Suspendisse quis metus nibh, sed ultricies orci. Ut dolor diam, convallis vitae mollis a, ultricies vel mi. Integer leo nisl, scelerisque vitae gravida bibendum, mollis quis mauris. Maecenas augue risus, suscipit id sodales sit amet, sagittis non augue. Praesent tellus lorem, vulputate sed porta ut, eleifend ac leo. In et odio libero, eget vulputate risus. \stopdefinition And I get something like this (stars mean bold): *Definitionwhatever* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent arcu nisl, interdum nec dignissim sit amet, blandit eu purus. Nulla facilisi. Vivamus quis metus mauris. Sed laoreet vulputate rhoncus. Suspendisse quis metus nibh, sed ultricies orci. Ut dolor diam, convallis vitae mollis a, ultricies vel mi. Integer leo nisl, scelerisque vitae gravida bibendum, mollis quis mauris. Maecenas augue risus, suscipit id sodales sit amet, sagittis non augue. Praesent tellus lorem, vulputate sed porta ut, eleifend ac leo. In et odio libero, eget vulputate risus. And what I want is: *Definition* (whatever). Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Praesent arcu nisl, interdum nec dignissim sit amet, blandit eu purus. Nulla facilisi. Vivamus quis metus etc... That is, I'd like to have the following: - no indentation of the second and subsequent lines; - whatever should be prefixed with a space and an opening brace and suffixed with a closing brace and a period; - whatever should not be bold. Is it possible to accomplish this automatically? TIA -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

Captions, negative indenting and \par
by Honza Hejzl 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Hello, I am trying to set captions like paragraphs where the label is indented negatively, like in case of itemize lists. I was successful but now I cant set the text like a paragraph, it means I need hyphenation. In some cases (different font) the picture is moved too much and is over the lines (hope this I can solve with light experimenting with the pic's width). here is the best result: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4393365/obrazky_pok.pdf here the code: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4393365/obrazky_pok.tex and here the other example with the pic under the lines: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4393365/obrazky2.pdf Help appreciated.
