Find all words set into the margin
by "H. Özoguz" 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

I use \definefontfeature[default][default][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \setupalign[hz,hanging] \usetypescript[times] \setupbodyfont[times,11pt] \setuptolerance[verystrict] Is there a command or a macro to find all occurences in a file (or projekt), where some word is printed into the margin? (Maybe because of bad hyphenation or something else.) - Would be perfect for manual check-up and corrections! Thanks. Huseyin

Math typesetting problems
by Janne Junnila 06 Apr '13

06 Apr '13

Hi all, I've run into a couple of problems with math typesetting. (I'm using the latest ConTeXt standalone beta.) The following doesn't print [x,x] at all: \startformula [x,x]_t = x \stopformula It can be fixed by using \left[x,x\right]_t, but I find the behaviour weird. Another problem I have is related to the positioning of minus signs in front of fractions. I would expect the minus sign to align with the horizontal line of the fraction, as it does on LaTeX. Below is an example formula to illustrate my point. The result seems to be independent of the font in use. \startformula -\frac{e^{\frac{4}{5}}}{4} \stopformula Janne

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

Typesetting LibreOffice (ODT) documents with ConTeXt
by Bill Meahan 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

I scoured the wiki and mailing-list without finding a definite answer. The most recent discussion I can find is from 2006 and at that time it was "possible" but nobody had yet developed the appropriate template, XSLT style-sheet, module or whatever to actually do it. For a number of reasons (including an absolute necessity to produce MS compatible .doc files) I need to maintain and write documents using LibreOffice Writer (or OO.org Writer) but the quality of the PDF files is, shall we say, not satisfactory. Exporting to LaTeX 2e is possible (and standard equipment in LO-W) but after using both for a while now, I vastly prefer ConTeXt. I could probably use something like the TEI tools to transform the ODT file to XHTML or TEI p5 and process that but I've found over many years such intermediate transformations have a lot of problems of their own. I don't need math support for /my/ work but I am sure others who do need it would like to follow the same route to great PDFs. Any solutions? -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Rotating \copypages
by Troy Henderson 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

I have a PORTRAIT letter size PDF that I would like to include in my LANDSCAPE letter size document. I am doing \setuppapersize[letter,landscape] \starttext \copypage[foo.pdf] \stoptext but foo.pdf is being inserted "as-is" and thus is being clipped since the height of a letter size page is 8.5in and the height of foo.pdf is 11in. I would like to use \copypages to insert foo.pdf rotated 90 degrees. How can this be done? Troy Henderson
