Grid typesetting: aligning section to top of textarea
by Sietse Brouwer 14 May '13

14 May '13

Dear list, I am making a foray into grid typesetting, and would like to align the top of my (possibly multi-line) section titles with the top of the textarea. I thought I could do that with \setuphead[subject][grid={broad,high}], but this is not working. I have tried nearly every other combination of grid keywords, and then tried them again with the subject wrapped in a framed. The "It's in the details" manual didn't provide help. I found an old e-mail by Honza, but that never got a reply. http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/details.pdf http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg58456.html I put an MWE below, and I have attached its output. If anybody has any clues for me, (or 'not currently available, you can stop trying'), I would be most grateful. Cheers, Sietse \setuppapersize[A5] %% Activate grid \setuplayout [grid=yes, width=middle, topspace=2\lineheight, height=31\lineheight, header=2\lineheight, footer=0\lineheight,] \setupbodyfont[schola,13pt] \definefont[AntykwaChapter][antykwatorunskaregular at 18pt]% %% If wrapping the subject in a framed is needed, this command does it \def\subjectcommand#1{% \framed[ frame=on, framecolor=blue, width=\textwidth, align=flushleft, offset=none, %% strut=no does not work %% so cancel out lineheight-fontsize diff with -toffset toffset=-4.5pt, %% This *should* mean: %% * take topmost line in framed as reference line %% * align top of reference line with external baseline. %% but grid=yes may disable that. location={top, hanging}, ]{\AntykwaChapter #1}} %% The head-specific grid setup comes here \setuphead[subject] [header=high, % no header; extend textarea into header area page=yes, %% Take the box, assume it is a snug fit of its contents, and align %% its top with the grid line above it? %% Seems to do nothing %% A tweak like '-3pt' ditto grid={fit,high}, textcommand=\subjectcommand, % textstyle=\AntykwaChapter, ] \showframe \showgrid \showstruts %% Example text \starttext \subject{The hoard of the gibbelins} The Gibbelins eat, as is well known, nothing less good than man. \startsubject[ title={How Nyth would have worked his art upon the gnoles}, marking=How Nuth would have worked his art, ] Despite the advertisements of rival firms, it is probable that every tradesman knows that nobody in business at the present time has a position equal to that of Mr. Nuth. \stopsubject \stoptext

authoring for web and print - suggestions
by Norbert Preining 13 May '13

13 May '13

Dear all, this time I have a question not concerning how to ship ConTeXt in Debian or so, but very different. Does anyone have experience with authoring for web and print. I.e., we want to maintain only one format and generate both web pages and printed documentation from it. Is there intrinsic or through addons support in ConteXt for this? Any suggestion would be greatly welcome Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREINING, Norbert http://www.preining.info JAIST, Japan TeX Live & Debian Developer DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the right side, you see the problem with the arabic: The interlinespace. Between the first lines everything is ok, but then the interlinespace becomes smaller and smaller. Why? It is some issue of the table, because if I set the arabic text purely out of the table by \Arab{}, then there is no problem and all interlinespaces are the same. So where comes this from? Huseyin

Rotating vector graphics.
by john Culleton 13 May '13

13 May '13

In context can I use a pdf graphic but rotate it 90 degrees? It is easy to convert it to bitmap and rotate it in Gimp or with ImageMagick but I would like to retain the vector format. -- 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

[***SPAM***] unwanted space and error in combination of writebetweenlist and placecontent[criterium= local]
by Zenlima 13 May '13

13 May '13

Hi, I ran into one error and one problem during building a part as two columns into the toc. 1. Extra line: I am getting an unwanted extra empty line at the bottom of two columns with an even number of total lines - with an odd number of total lines no extra empty line appears. How can I get rid of it? (see attached example) 2. This error only appears only with \placecontent[criterium=local] in combination with a beginning line of \writebetweenlist; with a global \placecontent and \writebetweenlist it works fine. To reproduce this uncomment the line "%\placecontent[criterium=local]" in the attached example. (Sorry that I was not able to make the example shorter, I needed some "meat" to fill the toc for the showcases) Thanks, H. --8<---------------------------- \usemodule[subsub] \definehead[paragraphHead][alternative=myheader,section=section-8,number=no] \defineheadalternative [myheader] [alternative=horizontal, renderingsetup=setup:myheader] \startsetups [setup:myheader] \inouter{\headtextcontent} \stopsetups \setuplist[chapter][style=bold,before=\blank,alternative=b,width=1.5em,color=HeadColor] \setuplist[section][margin=1.5em,width=2em] \setuplist[subsection][margin=3.5em,width=3em] \setuplist[paragraphHead][alternative=c,style=\tfx] \def\startParagraphTocColumns{% \writebetweenlist[paragraphHead][location=here]{\setupnarrower[left=2em]\startnarrower[left]\startcolumns[n=2,distance=0mm,balance=yes]}% \ignorespaces} \def\stopParagraphTocColumns{% \writebetweenlist[paragraphHead][location=here]{\stopcolumns\stopnarrower}% \ignorespaces} \starttext \setupcombinedlist[content][list={chapter,section,subsection,textdividerHead,paragraphHead}] \completecontent \startParagraphTocColumns \dorecurse{5}{\paragraphHead{Hasselt makes headlines} \input tufte} \stopParagraphTocColumns \chapter{Lorem ipsum} \section{Sed eram} \chapter{Lorem ipsum} %\placecontent[criterium=local] \section{Sed eram} \section{Sed eram} \startParagraphTocColumns \dorecurse{5}{\paragraphHead{Hasselt makes headlines} \input tufte} \stopParagraphTocColumns \section{Sed eram} \section{Sed eram} \startParagraphTocColumns \dorecurse{4}{\paragraphHead{Hasselt makes headlines} \input tufte} \stopParagraphTocColumns \section{Sed eram} \startParagraphTocColumns \dorecurse{3}{\paragraphHead{Hasselt makes headlines} \input tufte} \stopParagraphTocColumns \section{Sed eram} \section{Sed eram} \stoptext

[luatex-fonts] +mkmk; +mark results in call to undefined onetimemessage()
by Philipp Gesang 12 May '13

12 May '13

Hi, in luatex-plain, the example below \font\grk="file:LinLibertine_R.otf:+mark;+mkmk;mode=node" at 14.4pt {\grk μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος\hfill\break οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί' Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε' ἔθηκε} \bye triggers a call to onetimemessage() which is nil at the time when the upvalue is created. Can we have calls to fonts.loggers.onetimemessage() instead, so we can override that one with our own logger? On a related note, we would like to reduce verbosity. In luatex-basics-gen.lua, could we have: logs = logs or { new=dummyreporter, reporter=dummyreporter, messenger=dummyreporter, report=dummyfunction, } So we can provide our own “logs” table? Thanks Philipp

python parse/formatter example on the wiki
by seasoul 11 May '13

11 May '13

I was trying the example of "writing a parse/formatter" under "Verbatim text". The python formatter runs successfully. But when I compile the text file with all the definitions included, an error occurs. <inserted text> } <to be read again> \endgroup \buff_verbatim_type_block_verbatim_indeed ...ines \dostoptagged \csname #2\e... It could be implemented forcefully, but definitely not an excuse to ignore this error. Any solutions?
