[***SPAM***] Positioning of frames in a frame
by "H. Özoguz" 16 May '13

16 May '13

Hello together, designing a card-game I use an overlay as background an a frame, with three parts, realized as three frames in the outer frame (which is simply the border of the card). See my try: \starttext \framed[width=4.55cm, height=7.4cm, frame=on, background=eslami]{% \framed[width=4.55cm, height=2cm]{Begriff} \framed[width=4.55cm, height=3cm]{Verbotener Begriff 1} \framed[width=4.55cm, height=2.4cm]{Erklärung} } \stoptext Two questions: 1. How can I control the distance between the inner frames? It should be: 0cm, so no distance. 2. The left border of the inner frames do not match with the left border of the outer frame, but they should. Howto? Thanks Huseyin

Off-topic: Convert PDF to (Con/La)TeX
by Xan 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hi, I just want to know if there is any tool to convert a pdf (generated by latex or context) to latex source or context source file. Does anyone have got an experience on that? I'm thinking about two alternatives: * libraries for reading like podofo and custom script for passing pdf context (text) to context commands * pass pdf to jpg, and apply http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html for passing to tex symbols. For me it's vital to pass mathematical symbols like (\int) to tex symbol and not like utf-8 symbols. Thanks a lot, Xan. Note: pdf could be substitute for ps if you want ;-) PS: Please CCme

MPLibrabray "txt" broken!?
by Keith J. Schultz 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hi All, Hans, I want to use build_parshape and shapetext with the latest standalone ConTeXt ver: 2013.05.12 22:16 MKIV beta fmt: 2013.5.13 int: english/english with the Example below I get a small box with the top part of a T in it. Interresting enough the example works with the TexLive 2012 version! Running with latest standalone the following files are created: -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 14410 14 Mai 13:59 test2.log -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 5132 14 Mai 13:59 test2.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 634 14 Mai 13:59 test2.synctex.gz -rw-r--r--@ 1 staff 899 14 Mai 13:37 test2.tex -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 8413 14 Mai 13:59 test2.tuc Using MkIV from TeXLive 2012 the following files are created: -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 561 14 Mai 14:09 test2-mpgraph.mpd -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 19404 14 Mai 14:09 test2.log -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 9638 14 Mai 14:09 test2.pdf -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 3237 14 Mai 14:09 test2.synctex.gz -rw-r--r--@ 1 staff 899 14 Mai 13:37 test2.tex -rw-r--r-- 1 staff 6079 14 Mai 14:09 test2.tuc And all is well! Goofy as I am I tried the standalone again, this works only partially because the text is not aligned properly. How can it be the file test2-mograph.mpd was used from the TexLive 2012 version! So something is astray! I do know that we are using a newer Metapost, but I assume the problem is the library or how the temporary files are generated or used. Any help would be nice. regards Keith. \useMPlibrary[txt] \startuseMPgraphic{shape} % Shape of the paragraph path p ; p := ((0,1)..(-1,0)..(1,0)--cycle) scaled 5cm ; build_parshape ( p, % shape path .5*\baselinedistance, % offset .5*\baselinedistance, % x offset .5*\baselinedistance, % y offset \baselinedistance, % distance between lines \strutheight, % height of a line \strutdepth, % depth of a line \strutheight % height of the first line ) ; % For visualization purposes only draw p ; \stopuseMPgraphic % For visualization purposes only \defineoverlay[shape][\useMPgraphic{shape}] \setupshapetexts% [bodyfont=10pt] \starttext \startshapetext[shape] \input knuth \endgraf \stopshapetext % The \type{background} is set only to visualize the parshape \startTEXpage[background=shape,offset=2mm] {\getshapetext} \stopTEXpage \stoptext

Makeup layout
by Andrew Bernard 15 May '13

15 May '13

Greetings list, A newbie question: how does one adjust the vertical position of text in a makeup block for a title page? It seems to go on the centre no matter what. The voffset and hoffset parameters appear to have no effect. I have heard that layers can be used. But there is no section on layers in the current reference manual. Where does one find information on this aspect of ConTeXt? Andrew

MkIV problem+fix with \framed[location=depth / height / hanging]
by Sietse Brouwer 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hi Hans, I believe that in MkIV some \framed[location=...] keys are not working, namely `depth`, `height`, and `hanging`. In MkIV these all place the bottom of the frame flush with the baseline, like [location=]. In MkII they behave more sensibly, as follows: * depth: place bottom of frame flush with bottom of the line (i.e. \strutdepth below baseline) * height: place top of frame flush with top of line * hanging: place top of frame flush with baseline Test code below, mkii and mkiv output attached. I have produced a fix for the code in pack-rul.mkiv [1], placed at the very bottom of this e-mail. It works; but it is a pure-bred example of cargo cult programming, i.e. lots of 'making it look right' and very little understanding, so you will probably want to check it.

Processing URL with TeX macros
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hello ConTeXist. I would like get right URL, when I use \useURL command. Is there possibilities put any TeX macro to first and second parameter? It was clear to me why this is about, but I need it for one application (in the cycle I change URL addresses). Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my minimal example: \setupinteraction[state=start] \def\myurl{http://mydomain.com/path/} \def\myfile{mypdffile.pdf} \def\urltext{This is link to my file} \useURL[okexample][http://mydomain.com/path][mypdffile.pdf][\urltext] \useURL[problemexample][\myurl][\myfile][\urltext] \starttext \from[okexample] -- OK \from[problemexample] -- link problem \stoptext

> \define[2]\arde > {\bTR > \bTD[roffset=1ex,…]#1\eTD > \bTD[loffset=1ex,…]#2\eTD > \eTR} > > Wolfgang Thanks Wolfgang! And one more question to this table: Whythe left german text is aligned left, and the arabic text is justified? How to make both flushleft/flushright? If I add "align=flushright", then the "align=r2l" attribute is deactivated. Thanks. Huseyin

Distanc to rightframe in TABLE
by "H. Özoguz" 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hi, the german-arabic-transliteration-environment becomes, with your kind help, better and better. Next question, see this standard-code: \definefont[amiri][file:UthmanTN1Ver10.ttf*arabic at 10 pt] % or amiri-regular.ttf \define[1]\Arab{\setupalign[r2l]\amiri#1} %\showgrid \startsetups[arde] \setupTABLE[c][1][rightframe=on] \stopsetups \def\startarde {\bTABLE[frame=off,width=.5\textwidth,setups=arde,split=yes]} \def\stoparde {\eTABLE} \define[2]\arde {\bTR \bTD [style={\setupinterlinespace[line=3ex]}] #1\eTD \bTD[align=r2l,style={\amiri\setupinterlinespace[line=5ex]}] #2 \eTD \eTR} \starttext \startarde \arde{\input knuth}{االلّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ فِيما تَقْضِي وَتُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الاَمْرِ المَحْتُومِ فِي الاَمْرِ الحَكِيمِ مِنَ القَضاء الَّذِي لايُرَدُّ وَلا يُبَدَّلُ أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الحَرامِ المَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمُ المَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمُ المَغْفُورُ ذُنُوبُهُمُ المُكَفَّرِ عَنْ سَيِّئاتِهِمْ، وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَ فِيما تَقْضِي وَتُقَدِّرُ أَنْ تُطِيلَ عُمْرِي فِي خَيْرٍ وَعافِيَةٍ وَتُوَسِّعَ فِي رِزْقِي وَتَجْعَلَنِي مِمَّنْ تَنْتَصِرُ بِهِ لِدِينِكَ وَلاتَسْتَبْدِلْ بِي غَيْرِي } \stoparde Now I want a distance between the left german text and the middle vertical line (which is just the rightframe of the first cell), and also a distance between the arabic text and this same rightframe. So the texts should not "glue" to the vertical line. How to do that? Thanks Huseyin
