At the moment, the baseline of the first line of the margin note aligns with the baseline of the main text line. Even in the general case, I think it would look better to have the top aligned. In the margin ruby, this presents a slight problem as a second ruby will now look as though it belongs to the next line. Is there a way to align the top of the lines, or is there a hack that just shifts a margin note by a few pts? (There is a "low" flag, but no high flag, I think...) Thank you. Severin

I'm just thinking of annotating one or two words per line, which in an appropriately small font size could just be stacked at the end of the line in order of occurrence. Problems would only arise if one line contained 3 or more words to be annotated, and the next line also contained one... Would this be possible to implement? Would this just be a \defineinright?

confirmed bug with \setuplist[alternative=d, margin=2em]
by Pablo Rodríguez 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hello Hans, the following code shows a bug with latest beta (first item on content list is indented, but the second isn't): \setuplist[chapter][alternative=d,margin=2em] \starttext \completecontent \part{Part} \chapter{Chapter} a \part{Part} \chapter{Chapter} b \stoptext Wolfgang kindly suggested this fix (that works also with latest beta): strc-lst.mkvi: \def\strc_lists_place_indeed#tag#list#settings% {\begingroup \edef\currentlist{#tag}% \setupcurrentlist[#settings]% \the\everystructurelist % \doif{\listparameter\c!coupling}\v!on{\startlistreferences{#tag}}% \doplacestructurelist % maybe inline {#list}% {\listparameter\c!criterium}% {\listparameter\c!number}% {\listparameter\c!extras}% {\listparameter\c!order}% % \stoplistreferences + \par \endgroup \strc_lists_set_mode} I wonder whether it could be included in latest beta. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

positioning of backgrounds
by Thomas A. Schmitz 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi all, I may have missed something here: I'm aware that processing backgrounds has changed. The following example places the background layer completely different in the current beta and when processed with a version from November: \definelayer[test][x=1mm,y=1mm,width=\paperwidth,height=22mm] \setlayer[test][x=104mm,y=11mm]{\externalfigure[cow][width=56mm]} \setupbackgrounds[page][background=test] \starttext Hello \stoptext Is that to be expected (i.e. should I adapt my letter template which positions a university logo on the page), or is that a temporary glitch and has to be fixed eventually? All best Thomas

\setuppagenumber problem
by Alan Bowen 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

The following code, \startcomponent \setuphead[title][page=yes] \setuppagenumber[numberconversion=romannumerals] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[location=,] \setupheader[state=high] \definehead[FMTitle][title] \setuphead[FMTitle][header=high,alternative=middle,style={\tfb\rm},footer={}] \setupheadertexts[text] [\cap{A.\ U.\ Thor}] [\pagenumber] [\pagenumber] [\em{Journal}] \FMTitle[Preface]{Preface} \dorecurse{6}{\input knuth} \blank[big] And here I should like to recall what was said earlier in this \goto{Preface}[Preface] by \dots \stopcomponent fails on two counts: the page numbers are given in arabic numerals not roman numerals, and the cross-reference is ignored. The failure in the cross-reference may be due to a bug involving \startcomponent, if I understand Wolfgang correctly, and was wondering if the same might be true for \setuppagenumber[...]. If it is not, how may I fix the pagination? I am running the latest ConTeXT standalone (MKIV). Alan

Text Indentation and Space Around Headers
by Emmanuel Asante 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi All, I want to indent all text in a document except the chapter header text by a given amount. I have used the following to achieve it: \setupnarrower[left=3cm] and \startnarrower[left] \stopnarrower But I have the feeling that there has to be a better way of doing it. Secondly, how do I control the space around headers? I would like to reduce the big between the chapter header and the first paragraph. Any help will be very much appreciated. Regards, Emmanuel

Combination: no gap between cells?
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hello, I'd like to print several frames of a precise size, one after other, e.g. 2 per row, 2 rows. I'm trying to use combination for this purpose - but I'd need to suppress any horizontal and vertical gap between cells. Is there any option which would cause this? My code so far: ---- t-Prn.mkiv \starttext \startcombination[2*2] {\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align=flushleft,offset=0.5cm]{AAA\par Bb\par c}} {\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align=flushleft,offset=0.5cm]{AAA\par Bb\par c}} {\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align=flushleft,offset=0.5cm]{AAA\par Bb\par c}} {\framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align=flushleft,offset=0.5cm]{AAA\par Bb\par c}} \stopcombination \stoptext ---- Something like "\startcombination[space=none][2*2]"... I've overlooked wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Combinations) but no such an option... TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

Hooking \stoptext
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Hello, I'd need to to hook \stoptext by Lua - I'd need to write something right before the end of the text. See the simple example: ---- t-Hook.mkiv \startluacode local stoptext_p = context.stoptext context.stoptext = function(...) context("END") stoptext_p(...) end \stopluacode \starttext \input knuth \stoptext % To be hooked by Lua ---- This code should write "END" right before the end of the document, but it doesn't. How to achieve that? - I'd rather Lua to TeX do the job as I need Lua to do more complicated things (the example above is very simplified). TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

Style file for iPad?
by Alasdair McAndrew 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

If this has been asked before, my apologies. Is there a style file for formatting PDFs from ConTeXt for reading on an iPad? So far I've just used \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \setuplayout[backspace=20mm, width=160mm, topspace=20mm, top=0mm, header=0mm, footer=10mm, bottomspace=20mm,bottom=0mm, textheight=250mm] which works fine - for printing - but isn't optimized for the iPad. If anybody has any suggestions or examples, I'd be very grateful of them!
