Just to try another attempt for getting hints from you: You can see in the examples, the the middle vertical line (which is just the right frame of the left cell) is not exactly as high as the text needs. It is a bit higher and stick a little bit out, at the beginning (top) and at the end (bottom) of the natural table. How to fix this, so that the vertical line (right border frame) exactly ends and begins with the textline? That would help to get an exact connection to the next block. Of course the alternative would be to set frame=off for the tables and to place an vertical line as overlay on every single page (as background). But for that I would have to use the length of the text on a page, to adjust the line as long, as needed, not longer, not over the complete page every time. Thanks!

Faux font
by john Culleton 23 May '13

23 May '13

In some Context manuals (can't remember which ones) there is a faux font that just consists of little rectangles of two different sizes. What is the name of that font? Is it included in e.g. TeXLive? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Tabulate: vertical distance between rows
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 23 May '13

23 May '13

Hello, are there more ways how to affect vertical distance between rows within \start/stop-tabulate? 1) There is one, described on wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tabulate) ---- \unprotect \appendtoks \blank[halfline] \to \t_tabl_tabulate_every_after_row \protect ... ---- Its problem is that I don't know how to call it by Lua. The following code fails: ---- \startluacode context[[ \unprotect \appendtoks \blank[halfline] \to \t_tabl_tabulate_every_after_row \protect ]] \stopluacode ... ---- So how to make it acceptable by Ctx? 2) Is there another way, e.g. inserting something each time before \NC\NR or elsewhere)? This brings no effect: ---- \starttabulate[|l|r|] \NC a \NC b \blank\NC\blank\NR \NC A \NC B \NC\NR \stoptabulate ---- As I intend to typeset a table (into tabulate) via Lua, adding an extra sequence/command anywhere when a table row is typeset is no problem. Questions are: a) what would be such sequence and b) where it should be placed? My whole testing code is attached. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

[***SPAM***] No letter in math mode with \bold and dejavu font
by Romain Diss 23 May '13

23 May '13

Hi, With this minimal exemple : %%% MWE \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \starttext 1. \m{E = m c^2} \par 2. \m{\bf E = m c^2} \par 3. {\bf \m{E = m c^2}} \par 4. \bold{\m{E = m c^2}} \par \stoptext %%% The letters disappear in the case 4. I had a look into the font manual and it seems to be related to the bold/mathbold difference but I do not understand these subtilities enough to understand what goes wrong. Anyway it seems that there is a bug here with dejavu because with lm the case 4. works (with the same rendering as 3.). Any ideas? -- Romain Diss <romain.diss(a)yahoo.fr>

Tesselating the sheet with a image
by "H. Özoguz" 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi there, for a card game I have this macro: \defineoverlay[eslami][{\externalfigure[somepicture.pdf]}] \def\esl[#1][#2][#3]{% \startframed[frame=on,width=4.75cm,offset=overlay,align=middle,background=eslami]% \offinterlineskip \framed[width=4.75cm,frame=off,height=2cm]{\blank[-3mm]#1}\\ \framed[width=4.75cm,frame=off,height=3cm]{#2}\\ \framed[width=4.75cm,frame=off,height=2.4cm]{#3} \stopframed} \starttext \esl[blub][blub][blub] \stoptext which produces cards with some text (see attachment). Now, I only want to write in the editor the commands \esl[blub1][blub1][blub1] \esl[blub2][blub2[blub2] \esl[blub3][blub3][blub3] etc. and these images / overlays should be placed automatically vertically and horizontically over the sheets, like a tesselation (and after that they will be printed and cutted). The order of setting the cards is not important. If one page is full, then they should be placed automatically on the next page - but perfectly the same way, on the same locations, like on all other pages. That is important for cutting, each card should have two sides, so they have to match in location. Is there a way to do this? Thank you. Huseyin PS.: Before this mail I accidentally sent a mail with a slightly different code and a too big attachment, which awaited moderation, so it can be ignored.

[***SPAM***] Two-language environment and page breaking

Hi, one more question to my arabic-german table environment.

Wirklich gar nichts. Glauben Sie es mir? Also versuchen Sie nicht den Sinn des Arabischen hierdurch zu erfassen. } {% اللهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي حَجَّ بَيْتِك الحَرامِ فِي عامِي هذا وَفِي كُلِّ عامٍ ما أَبْقَيْتَنِي فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَعافِيَةٍ وَسَعَةِ رِزْقِ، وَلا تُخْلِنِي مِنْ تِلْكَ المَواقِفِ الكَرِيِمَةِ وَالمَشاهِدِ الشَّرِيفَةِ، وَزِيارَةِ قَبْرِ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَواتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ، وَفِي جَمِيعِ حَوائِجِ الدُّنْيا وَالآخرةِ فَكُنْ } \stoparde \blank {\bf Should be the same like:}\blank \startarde \arde{% Dies ist nur ein vollkommen sinnfreier Text und hat rein gar nichts mit dem Arabischen auf der rechten Seiten zutun. } {% اللهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي حَجَّ بَيْتِك الحَرامِ فِي عامِي هذا وَفِي كُلِّ عامٍ ما أَبْقَيْتَنِي فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَعافِيَةٍ وَسَعَةِ رِزْقِ، وَلا تُخْلِنِي } \arde{Wirklich gar nichts.

The first block is the example, the correct setting. But the first block can not be broken over pages. This is fixed by the second block, where I seperated the text into two "\arde", so now it can be broken over pages, because they are now two different tables. But if they are NOT broken over pages, they sould be set as if they were only one table, so as in the first "\startarde\stoparde" block. But the are not. You see the small distance between them. Is there a way to produce the behavior I descibed? It would be a workaround to get natural tables, which can be broken over pages (my manually sperating them). (Only natural tables are possible for this environment, and not normales tables, because of the needed different interlinespace of the two columns). Thanks. Huseyin

partial derivatives with bonum/pagella font
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi all, The following examples give wrong space. There is a space between the prime and the subscripted x. If I do not load the bonum font it just looks as it should. \setupbodyfont[bonum] \starttext $f'_x$, $f_x'$ $f\prime_x$. \stoptext (it does not look good with the pagella font either...) Any ideas? /Mikael
