Re: [NTG-context] Hebrew vowel placement in ConTeXt.
by Michael Ash 03 May '14

Thank you. The unicode text looked good (although reversed left-to-right as I sent it) in my sent mail, and it looked perfect (corrected right-to-left) in your response. But it did not look good in the digest email (all the letters were convered to ?'s). Also it's typesetting fine in ConTeXt except for the vowel placement. Any suggestions there? Thank you again.

Lower the title of TOC
by "H. Özoguz" 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi, how to lower the TOC-title, s.t. it begins with a greater distance to the top? Here a min-examlpe. \starttext \completecontent \chapter{Blub1} \chapter{Blub2} \stoptext I mean something like: \starttext \strut\blank[2cm] \completecontent \chapter{Blub1} \chapter{Blub2} \stoptext But of course that produce only an empty page before the TOC and can not work. How to achieve this correctly? Huseyin

too many open files?
by Andrea Valle 02 May '14

02 May '14

Dear, I’m compiling the new version of my manual on the SuperCollider language, using a project structure, and I’m including a lot of pdfs, as I’m automatically generating figures containing colorised code that have to included in the book. Btw I’m quite happy of the results! Thanks to devs for your work. Anyway, I’m stuck at this. I’m getting this error, seems related to the number of included pdfs </paperiProgetti/SC/introSC/code/controlli/map.pdfI/O Error: Couldn't open file '/paperiProgetti/SC/introSC/code/controlli/map.pdf': Too many open files. !LuaTeX error: xpdf: reading PDF image failed ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

Empty heads after leading whitespace
by Maggyero 01 May '14

01 May '14

> before=\empty, \empty is not even required. The problem with your solution (setting 'before=' i.e. empty) is that there is also no whitespace before a subsection which doesn't start on a new page. Any better ideas?

resize and center and clip image
by Mikael P. Sundqvist 01 May '14

01 May '14

Hi! Assume that I want to fill in the text area with images, and I want to clip and scale them according to these rules: 1) If the image is "too wide" (in sense of proportions), then scale it so that the height fits the text area height, center it, and clip it to the text area. (See the attached image, on top, where the blue area is supposed to show the text area and the red rectangle the image.) 2) If the image is "too high" (in sense of proportions), then scale it so that the width fits the text area width, center it, and clip it to the text area. (See the attached image, on bottom.) The background why I want to do this is that I'm making a small template for presentations, and I'd like the users to insert images as background without really having to think about if their proportions fit or not. Best regards, Mikael

automatically adding commands to some characters
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 May '14

01 May '14

Dear list, with slashes and en-dashes I experience the following in ConTeXt: sometimes I need to add an \hskip0pt command after them to allow linebreaks. One example would be "Council Directive 93/98/EEC". The issue comes when using ConTeXt as target format from markdown sources. pandoc generates the file, but it makes no sense to edit the ConTeXt source. Is there any command that allows the addition of arbitrary commands when a character appears in text? I mean, a way that internally replaces "Council Directive 93/98/EEC" with "Council Directive 93/\hskip0pt 98/\hskip0pt EEC" Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
