by Hans Hagen 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Hi, In the next version, the \stretched command has been replaced by a new one using the character kerning feature. \hbox to 5cm{\stretched{to the limit}} \stretched{to the limit} \stretched[width=10cm]{to the limit} In addition one can set a style and color.

[***SPAM***] quotationmarks just before new line
by d_jan 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

Hello, It frequently happens to me that a new line in an output-document starts just after a quotation mark. So I encounter lines in my ConTeX-created .pdf like: "And the prince of Denmark spoke: ' how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!' " Its hard to say how often this happens but I'd say its roughly every 50 quotations. A minimal example to see the problem in action: (also on http://pastebin.com/cEMiGZju) \mainlanguage [de] \setuppapersize[A4] \setuplayout[width=6cm] \setupquotation [1] [left=„, right=“] \setupquote [1] [left=„, right=“] \starttext \language[de] Bereiche der\quotation{waren transparent, so dass} man auf. \quotation{die darunterliegenden} Grafiken sehen konnte. \quotation{Die Paletten konnten mit der} nicht-dominanten \quotation{Hand bewegt werden} %gibberish content \stoptext I'm using LiveTex 2011/LuaTex typeset but the problem can be reproduced using the example code at http://live.contextgarden.net/ and the "XeTeX"-Setting. Is there any fix to this problem? Kind Regards, Jan

Problems with \completecontent
by Marcin Borkowski 01 Jul '12

01 Jul '12

Hi, I'd like to make the distance between the chapter number and the title (and between the title and pagenumber with alternative=a) smaller. How to do that? [distance=0.5em] didn't work. Also, I'd like to have the pagenumbers slanted; I tried [pagestyle=slanted], but it didn't work either. Any ideas? -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

Two questions about buffers
by Marcin Borkowski 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

Hello, I have two questions concerning buffers. 1. What is the difference between \grabbufferdata and \dostartbuffer? 2. I wanted to use buffers to define my own "environment" (as Wolfgang suggested to me a few days ago). However, there's a problem with \baselineskip; here is an example: \starttext \def\startMyEnv{\dostartbuffer[MyEnv][startMyEnv][stopMyEnv]} \def\stopMyEnv{{\tfxx\getbuffer[MyEnv]\par}} \input tufte \startMyEnv \input knuth \stopMyEnv \input tufte \stoptext Am I doing something wrong here? TIA -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl

itemize in two columns and pagebreaks
by Marcin Borkowski 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

Hello, I encountered a weird problem with \startitemize[columns] Namely, sometimes ConTeXt (MkIV) puts a pagebreak before the itemization. I tried to distill the problem to a minimal example, until now without success, but I'll post a ME if I'm able to reproduce a problem in a small file. Anybody encountered this, too? Are there any solutions/workarounds known? Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://mbork.pl
