Writing the caption above figures in combinations
by Otared Kavian 01 Jun '20

Hi all, Is it possible to write the individual captions for each element of a combination of floats above it, while the caption for the figure appears below? \startplacefigure[title={A combination of three figures}] % this title appears below the figure \startcombination[3*1] {\externalfigure[image-1.pdf][width=4cm]}{a} % a appears above image-1 {\externalfigure[image-2.pdf][width=4cm]}{b} % b appears above image-2 {\externalfigure[image-3.pdf][width=4cm]}{c} % c appears above image-3 \stopcombination}{} \stopplacefigure I tried to define a new float, say myfigure, which has captions below and then I tried \setupcaptions[location=top] and \setupcombinations[location=top] but this does not work… Thanks for any help: Otared

background of \typing fills column

Hi, I finally wanted to attack CG journal 2019 again and stumble upon this error: If an article contains several \starttyping ... \stoptyping examples with a textbackground, it sometimes fills the whole column (pagecolumns). It doesn’t occur if the "typing" is at top or bottom of the column or even breaks. It’s the same with MkIV and LMTX. I’ll try to come up with a MWE, but perhaps you already know what’s wrong? Here’s the PDF: https://sedna.fiee.net/f/a75380127d7b4f17a940/ Best, Hraban

status of t-rst

Hello, yesterday when browsing new ConTeXt site (yay!!) I found about the existance of 't-rst' to be used for typesetting files written in reST markup. However the referenced web site (https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-rst/src/default/) shows last activity 6yrs ago, so wonder if it is still relevent today or obsolete? The static-site-generator (Nikola) which I use for web stuff has good support for rst markup, so just wonder(ed) if I could continue using it for short stuff which *might* become typeset with ConTeXt one day? Nikola does support using Markdown markup as well and it's usually possible to do rst --> md by e.g. using Markdown, but just wonder... Sincerely, Gour -- He who is satisfied with gain which comes of its own accord, who is free from duality and does not envy, who is steady in both success and failure, is never entangled, although performing actions.
