Re: [NTG-context] Breaks in TOC
by "H. Özoguz" 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

Thanks to your kindely help, Nr. 2 is solved easily, but Nr. 1 is still open. Is it clear, what I intend to do, or totally unclear? :) The question is simply to break a title in the TOC, without breaking it in the text. Or more generally: How to change the title in the TOC (maybe a complete other title, as in the text, like it is possible for the header by the key "marking"). (No matter, if that makes sense, or not). Thanks. Huseyin

TEXpage produces wrong bounding box with rotated images
by Marco Patzer 07 Oct '13

07 Oct '13

Hi, when rotation is used, the TEXpage bounding box is incorrect. Angles multiples of 90° are correct, however. It looks like a bug. Example: \setupexternalfigures [location=default] \starttext \startTEXpage \externalfigure [hacker] [orientation=44] \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage \externalfigure [hacker] [orientation=46] \stopTEXpage \stoptext Marco

Hi, Why is the \getvariable not in the same grouping level as the \setvariables here: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \usemodule[chart] \startFLOWchart[test] \startFLOWcell \setvariables[test][test=test] \text{\getvariable{test}{test}} % no text! \stopFLOWcell \stopFLOWchart \starttext \FLOWchart[test] \stoptext --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Workaround: \setgvariables[test][test=test] TIA for any explanation, -- Peter

Add new unit to \unit comand
by Giuseppe Fierro 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

Hi, I'm a civil engineer and I like to use ConTeXt to write my report etc. As engineer i use a lot of units in my writing and the \unit command works nice with this. What I need is a new unit, a quadratic unit like this: Area Moment of Inertia - Metric units mm4 cm4 m4 This kind of units are quite common in civil engineer. This is an example of what i want in ConTeXt \starttext \unit{230.00 m^2} \unit{230.00 m^3} \unit{230.00 m^4} \stoptext Thank you Giuseppe Fierro -- This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.

06 Oct '13

Dear Hans, I’m very interested in using ConTeXt to generate the correspondence at work. I have seen the xcorresp module documentation and I wonder whether it is under development or not. Thanks, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

image vertical positioning in xtable
by Pablo Rodríguez 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

Dear list, I have the following sample that places the image below the text in the same cell: \starttext \startxtable \startxrow \startxcell This is an \stopxcell \startxcell image \externalfigure[cow.pdf][height=.5em] \stopxcell \stopxrow \stopxtable \stoptext How can the image be on the same base as the text? I mean, not below the text. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Questions regarding the placement of figures
by Flavien Lambert 06 Oct '13

06 Oct '13

Dear all, I would like to wrap text around two figures. I tried to use both placefigure and starthangaround without achieving what I wanted. So I moved towards you to get some explanations on the behavior of the commands. I have two figures and one paragraph. If possible, I would like to place one figure on the top left and the other on the bottom right, the text moving smoothly in between, something like (o is figure, x text) ooooo xxxxxxxx ooooo xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx ooooo xxxxxxxx ooooo or even better xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ooooo xxxxxxxx ooooo xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx ooooo xxxxxxxx ooooo xxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I can, of course, slice the text in two pieces and use either placefigure or hangaround but, then, there's a vertical space between the two paragraphs. Related to the subject, is there way to impose a few lines before a figure with hangaround like the second layout example? Thanks a lot, Flavien.

(again) coloring \tex with [option=TeX]
by Pablo Rodríguez 05 Oct '13

05 Oct '13

Dear list, I would like to have \tex using [option=TEX]. But I cannot get it working, even if I setup \type to [option=TEX]. Here you have the minimal sample: \setuptype[option=TEX] \starttext \type{\ConTeXt} comes from \tex{TeX}. \stoptext How can I have \tex with colored output, the same way \type is colored above? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
