setupblock with starttyping doesn't work
by Ingo Hohmann 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hello, this is my first post to this mailing list. I have played a little bit with latex and context before, and now I am trying context for real. To get a feel for it, I am setting up a letter style for my self, and some problems are showing up now. So here it goes ... What I want to accomplish: The user writes the address, and he should not have to use \crlf or have to use several distinct commands. Why does the following not work? \defineblock[Address] \setupblock[Address][ before=\starttyping, after=\stoptyping ] \starttext \beginAddress Peter Pan Somewhere over the Rainbow Neverland \endAddress \useblocks[Address] Some more text. \stoptext Kind regards, Ingo

\overrightarrow changed

Dear list, \starttext text $\overrightarrow{OP}$ text \stoptext gives smaller letters since some time ago under the arrow. See the attached pdf files for the output of different versions of context (test.pdf is compiled with the latest beta). I think the look in test20121210.pdf is the right one. /Mikael

long tables in multicolumns / Interactive cross-referencing
by Thomas De Maet 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

Hi ! I'm currently creating a book in context - it's a tremendous project ! - and I have a couple of questions: Firstly, I'm interested in the "multicolumns table issue" raised in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE. Do you have an idea of a date for a fix ? Alternatively, it's quite a huge work to skip portions of tables at the good size, especially when an entry is added at the beginning Secondly, I have here a code in which several cross-links are down with MKIV (2012.05.30). It happens for references to chapter (or section/subsection) when \startcomponent is used (with starttext it is just ok). When merged in the whole document, I only have the problem for cross-links interns to a file (and each file is a component...) Thanks in advance !

Hi Wolfgang, thank you. Am 31.01.2013 17:48, schrieb ntg-context-request(a)ntg.nl: > \setupbackgrounds[page][frame=on,frameoffset=10mm] > > \setuppapersize[A4][A3] > > \setuplayout[location=middle] > > \starttext > \input knuth > \stoptext This does not work in my setting. I integrated you code in my setting, as follows, but this does not work, what did I forget? \definepapersize[sheet][width=162mm,height=225mm] \setuppapersize[sheet] \setupbackgrounds[page][frame=on,frameoffset=10mm] \setuplayout[location=middle, topspace=17.4mm, header=1.1cm, footer=1.4cm, bottomspace=26mm, width=middle, cutspace=20mm, backspace=22.2mm, height=fit, grid=yes, % setups= mypenalties ] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext > Did you read my answer for your question in the other thread? Of course I did, but I unterstood, that your code adds only 1.5cm, maybe it was easy to change and I oversaw that? For record: It was \setuppapersize[MyBook][oversized] I need variable oversizing (and mostly 3mm for printing and cutting) Best regards, Huseyin

Showing a cutting-frame
by "H. Özoguz" 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hi there, to precize my question about the page-edges a few days ago, I know now what the perfect solution for me would be: 1. Is it possible, that context prints on every page an frame/box, which has excactly X mm distance to each of the four borders, no matter how I change the papersize? (Too the the real layout after cutting.) 2. And in addition to this, again my last question: Is there an command like "\addpapersize[x]" which increases the papersize x mm on all four directions of the page? (Useful, because with that I would not have to add always x mm cutting-space to topspace, bottomspace, cutspace and backspace manually, if I change the layout.) Thanks again Huseyin

Node for startbuffer.
by Andre Caldas 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hello! Given some \startbuffer Blah, blah, blah... \stopbuffer I'd like to get a "node tree" corresponding to how the buffer would be processed at a given point. Using luatex, I'd like to identify certain sub-nodes and change their attributes (to be specific: transparency). Any hint on how to do it? Also, are there any good examples on how to use "nodes"?

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

Invisibile page numbers for TOC
by "H. Özoguz" 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hi together, I use \completecontent for the TOC. How to deactivate the printing of the pagenumbers on TOC-pages? But they should be counted invisibely, so that the first text-page begins with the real page number. Best Regards Huseyin
