How to adjust the TABLE-frame to zero, I mean the thickness of the frame-lines, such that they are invisible. And btw.: Where can I find a good docu of natural tables? (I know the wiki page "TABLE" of course). Huseyin

> Why don’t you use natural tables where each cell *is a frame*. Ah, ok Wolfgang. I did not get this at your first posting. I will try it! Huseyin.

Thanks. > You can use \framed but like a minipage no page breaks are possible in a block. > > >/ This sets very well the german and the arabic text, with different interlinespaces.

Maybe the minipages/frames are really the only possibility, so that I have to resign page-breaking, sad, but if this is the only way... Because without different line-interspaces the arabic text is definitely not well readable. Now I tried it with frames; this is my try (from the wiki): \starttext \startcombination[2*1] {\framed [width=4cm, align={flushleft}] {\input ward }} {\framed [width=4cm, align={flushleft,nothyphenated,verytolerant}] % maybe also stretch {\tfb \input ward }} \stopcombination \stoptext But it seems to not matter, if I write 2*1 or 1*2, in both cases the frames are set one below the other, and not side by side (what I want). Why? Huseyin

Different width of marginblocks and margindata
by Marco Patzer 03 May '13

03 May '13

Hi, in the following example, why do marginblocks and margindata produce a different width when both are set to the same value? \setupmarginblocks [width=\rightmarginwidth] \setupmargindata [inright] [style=normal, width=\rightmarginwidth] \showframe \starttext \startmarginblock Text in paragraph. \stopmarginblock \input knuth \inright{Text in paragraph.} \input knuth \stoptext Marco

Thanks Wolfgang! But now I see a different issue arising: The left and the right column are set on the same lines (like grid-setting, not the same). I mean, that the text in the left column is set on the same lines, like the text in the right columns. Usually that is good, but not for my purpose, because arabic is very different, has long letters. So for the arabic text the interlinespace should be bigger, than for the german text. Is that possible with a table? An example: \starttext \starttabulate[|lp|rp|] \NC \input knuth \NC \dorecurse{20}{\tfc Blub} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext And this exactly, what happens with arabic. The only other possibility would be to set the arabic font very small, but that would be not very well readable. Huseyin.

Table
by "H. Özoguz" 03 May '13

Hi, for a bilingual book (german-arabic) I want to use a table. So far I have this one: \starttabulate[||p(.46\textwidth)|p(.46\textwidth)||] But that is not exactly, what I want: I want a table with 3 columns. The left one ist left-aligned, for the german text (left-algined in the usual sence, I understood that these terms are opposite in context?), the middle one is empty (just to control the space between the to text-columns), and the right columns, arabic, is right aligned. I want to control all three by something like ".46\textwidth", and no indentation (like the above result, left column is indented). How to achieve this (simple) table? My tries did not work so far.

Text streams
by "H. Özoguz" 03 May '13

Hello there, some motnh ago I asked for a possibility to set a book in Context bilingual (with a left and a right column on every page). This environment should allow of course page breaking etc. I got this answer (by Philipp Gesang): > What you are looking for is text streams. They are not yet fully > functional in mkiv. But as long as you need the streams to appear > as columns on the same page, as seems to be the case, there is a > cheap workaround using the *tabulate* environment (see below). So my question: Are text streams now available in MKIV? Thanks. Huseyin
