Blanks instead of indented paragraphs
by "H. Özoguz" 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi there, I have here an book, where I want to have empty lines between paragraphs, not only indenting. Of course I could write always ++++ Para 1 \blank Para 2 ++++ but it would be easiest, if empty lines in the editors would be automatically interpreted as "\blank" – and then without indenting of course. How to get that? Regards. Huseyin

float combinations
by Robert Blackstone 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Dear all, I would like to have in my document floats, i.c. musical examples, that basically have the same number, for example, Ex. 3a and Ex. 3b, with text in between and possibly not even on the same page. It seems that it can be done (Wiki-page Command/setupfloatsplitting) but I have no idea how to to accomplish it for figures. Alternatively can one create a combination of two figures but separate the two elements spatially? And if so, how? Thanks in advance for any advice. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

I tried many times to get it work with SimpleFont, but did not know, that it is possible with SimpleFont to define regular, italic, bold separately. By the way: I still do not understand, why it is not possible in ConTeXt (in Simplefont) just to say \setmainfont[AGaramondPro] and nothing more! It should identify regular, bold, italic automatically, like all other programms here do without problems. Or do I miss an important point here? Thanks for your help. Huseyin

But your correction does not work, too. With your code the font AGaramondPro is not used, and no hanging either (even not with the then used Standard-Font). If I remove [features=default] then again Garamond is used, but still without hanging. It seems very tricky to define these things correctly, at least for me... :) Thanks. Huseyin

single spacing TOC
by john Culleton 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Working with TOC layout and the "new" manual. The default layout leaves a blank line between section entries. I want to reduce this to zero. I tried this: \setuplist[section] [alternative=a,before=,after=,distance=1pt] \completecontent but this didn't remove the extra space.

Hanging and Protrusion with Typescript
by "H. Özoguz" 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Hi there, normally I use simplefont, with protrusion and typescript. But Simplefont does not recognize the regular, italic, and bold of AdobeGaramondPro correctly by default. So I tried to work with a typescript definition, and it works - with the exception of hanging (and protrusion?). This is my example: +++++++++++++++++++++++ \enableregime[utf] \starttypescript [serif] [nimbus] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:AGaramondPro-Regular.otf] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [file:AGaramondPro-Bold.otf] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [file:AGaramondPro-Italic.otf] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [file:AGaramondPro-BoldItalic.otf] \stoptypescript \definetypeface [nimbus] [rm] [serif] [nimbus] \definefontfeature [default] [default] [protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \setupalign[hz,hanging] \setupbodyfont[nimbus,rm,12pt] \starttext \input tufte \stoptext +++++++++++++++++++++ The Font is correctly used by ConText, but no hanging is applied. How to achieve that? Thanks. Huseyin
