About Chapter head definition and FunnyFrame
by Jeong Dalyoung 03 Mar '13

03 Mar '13

Dear all, I have two questions. 1. I defined \Myheader and use it to shape the chapter head as following: \def\Myheader#1#2{% \framedtext [width=\overlaywidth, height=9\bodyfontsize, background=color, backgroundcolor=lightgray, offset=2pt, strut=no, frame=off, align={middle, middle}] { {\tfb 제 #1 장} \blank[big] {\sans #2} }} \startsectionblockenvironment[bodypart] \setupheadertexts[][{\tfx COUNTING}] \setuppagenumber[number=1] \setuppagenumbering[alternative={singlesided,doublesided},location={footer,right}] \setuphead[chapter][command=\Myheader,before={\dontleavehmode\blank[2*big]},after={\blank[5*big]}, page=right] \stopsectionblockenvironment …. \chapter{The Addition Principle \crlf {\tfx Sum Rule}} …. But it produces an error which is … ! Argument of \Myheader has an extra }. system > tex > error on line 94 in file SumRule.tex … What is wrong in this code? 2. I used "funnyFrame" defined in the MetaFun book. It works fine except that it is left aligned. I'd like to put such a frame in the middle. But \startalignment[middle] didn't work. Is there any way to make FunnyFrame center aligned? Thank you for the reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

Multi-page textbackground ignores topoffset
by Nicholas Ulle 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hi, Is there any way to get a multi-page textbackground to respect topoffset on each page? From the second page onwards, it leaves no offset at the top. I don't think I can use background instead, as I'm nesting the textbackgound under itemize and also use itemize within it (correct me if this works okay?). A minimal example (note context live doesn't display the frame, which is sort of necessary to see the problem): \definetextbackground[Test][ location=paragraph, topoffset=1em, bottomoffset=1em, leftoffset=1em, rightoffset=1em, frame=on, framecolor=black] \starttext This is some text outside of a text background. \startTest \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \par \input knuth \par} \stopTest This is more text outside of a text background. \stoptext Kip Warner started a thread about this several months ago, but it seems to have died before anyone offered a solution. Thanks, Nick

Q about hangaround commands
by Vladimir Lomov 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hi. I'm trying to figure out the limitation of \start/stophangaround commands. 1. Is it correct that currently the figure could be placed only on left? If so is it easy to extend the command to allow placing figure at right side? 2. Is there way to increase/decrease the space between the text and image? 3. Is it correct that hangaround command is tricky hack that change normal flow? I prepare simple example (it is attached). 1) is obvious from the example (default behavior I assume). 3): I got the '2.' not on left side as 1) and 3) but on left side of text block right after image. Another example if 3): if I put empty line between \starthangaround and \input (see the file) then there would be mess. P.S. I tried the example with MkIV only. --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov

disable expansion for one single component
by Thomas A. Schmitz 24 Nov '12

24 Nov '12

Hi all, for a book I'm typesetting, I use adobe minion and have enabled protrusion=pure,expansion=quality in the typescript and then \setupalign[hanging,hz] in the main environment. Now it turns out that in one of the components/chapters of the book, this messes up the spacing of some characters. Is there a way to disable expansion (but not of course protrusion) for one single chapter? Thanks, and all best Thomas

underbar/margin text
by Daniel Schopper 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

Hi, I have to typeset some underlined text with margin notes by its side. Is there a way to prevent the notes themself to get underlined? I tried putting the note-command in a group, simplifying its content etc. (In my real file I use \defineinmargin, btw.) \starttext \underbar{Test Test Test\footnote{footnote}~Test Test Test\par Test\inleft{marginal} Test Test Test Test Test \par} \stoptext (As one can see, there’s also an issue with the footnote-sign breaking the continued line, which is not urgent for me, at least by now.) Cheers, Daniel

How to put a \placefigure with no caption?
by Marcin Borkowski 12 Nov '12

12 Nov '12

Hi there, \placefigure[here]{none}{<image>} seems to actually typeset "none" as a caption. What do I do if I want no caption (not even the "Figure 1" thing, in fact)? TIA, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University

RFC: path relative to current file.
by Andre Caldas 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hello, list! A while ago, I raised a question about how to, in a tex, specify a file with a path relative to the currently being processed file. http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/069132.html http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/068902.html Even though the issue did not get much attention, I do believe it is the right thing to do. I wrote a module to implement a macro I called "\pathrelativetome". My code is still a lot ugly. I don't know how to do many things in Lua, LuaTeX and ConTeXt. It can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/andrecaldas/math-video-classes/src/bade74046a6b/lib It would be REALLY NICE if the functionality of "pathrelativetome" was provided by ConTeXt. call it using, for example: context --usemodule=lib/relativetome src/products/assorted.tex Ugly things remaining: 1. pathstack should be initialized with the path of the first tex script. I.e.: src/products/, instead of pathstack[1] = 'src/products' 2. Functions pop and push should be local. (relativetome.lua) 3. Call function "pop" automatically, just like the "push" function is called automatically. 4. Avoid having to define "\xproject", "\xproduct", "\xcomponent" and "\xenvironment". http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/069305.html Any suggestions/improvements are very welcome! Cheers, André Caldas.
