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

TeXlive 2012 and letter module
by Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

Hi followers of ConTeXt, does something in the lettermodule in the texlive version and the minimal version of ConTeXt has changed, as both no longer recognize the \useletterextension[addrentry,label] \useaddressfile[addrfile] lines and complain about an unknown command, if yes, what would be the way to fix this, or is this functionallity finally droped? Greetings Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz

3D annotations problems
by Michail Vidiassov 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

Dear Hans and All, the examples from back-u3d.mkiv fail to work with latest beta (rectangled "undefined" message appears instead of annotation), but if "\textwidth" is replaced by "in" in the tex file 3D annotations appear OK. Is that a bug, a feature or some transitional state of ConTeXt (case when things are known to be broken something else is under reform). Sincerely, Michail

Divided cells and bullet points in tables
by Malte Stien 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hi, I'm trying to create a table with the following formatting: 1. The top left cell is divided in two by a diagonal line with separate text into each triangle 2. Another cell in the table body has a bulleted list I've had no success with the first. With the second I've tried using the \startitemize command. It generates the bullet points but places all the items on a single line and hence pushing the table wider than the page. I've also tried using \par or \newline but to no avail. I have been using tabulate for the table; is there another table library that might make this work? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, Malte.

Margin text and multiple columns
by Marc Rummel 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hello, I have a problem with margin texts in combination with multiple columns using mkiv. I want to set a text in the outer margin of a double sided document. This works well using \inouter as seen in the following document: --- \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \inouter{Text in Margin} \input knuth \page[yes] \inouter{Text in Margin} \input knuth \stoptext --- But fails, when I use it in combination with multiple columns. Then the margin text of the odd pages is set in the second column (probably in the margin of the first column) instead of the margin of the whole page. --- \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \inouter{Text in Margin} \startcolumns \input knuth \stopcolumns \page[yes] \inouter{Text in Margin} \startcolumns \input knuth \stopcolumns \stoptext --- I hope someone can help me. Best wishes, Marc

Standalone MetaPost Graphics from ConTeXt
by Troy Henderson 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Is there a way to output several MetaPost PDF graphics from a single ConTeXt source file. For example, \startMPpage draw fullcircle scaled 72; \stopMPpage \startMPpage draw unitsquare scaled 72; \stopMPpage and have a separate output PDF generated for each MPpage? It seems that this ConTeXt code generates a single PDF which contains only the first graphic. I would like to have either 1) two separate PDF's with each containing their own graphic 2) a single two page PDF where each page corresponds to the appropriate graphic. Of course, the "holy grail" would be to be able to "compile" a MetaPost source file with ConTeXt. Troy Henderson
