adjust width of text automatically
by Peter Münster 15 Jul '12

15 Jul '12

Hi, Is it possible to place one box beside another, both with the same height, one box with an image of unknown width, and the other uses the remaining width. I've tried this, but without success: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \starttext \bTABLE[offset=0pt, height=7cm, textwidth=\textwidth, option=stretch] \bTR \bTD bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla \eTD \bTD \externalfigure[hacker][height=7cm] \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- If yes, how? If no, then I'll try to get the width of the image with img.scan() ... TIA for any hints! -- Peter

indent a block of text
by Peter Münster 15 Jul '12

15 Jul '12

Hi, I want to indent a block of text to the right by the width of some other short text: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \starttext \framed[height=5cm, offset=0pt, strut=no, frame=off]{% Bla:~\framed[location=top, align=flushleft, height=max, offset=pt, frame=off]{% This text is indented to the right by the amount of the width of \quote{Bla:~}. Can this be done better? \vfill \rightaligned{At the bottom of the outer box.}}} \stoptext --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Any hints, how to do this in a cleaner way? TIA, -- Peter

linenumbering
by Thomas A. Schmitz 14 Jul '12

OK, here's another one. For the code, I must admit: http://www.alyssahiba.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/no-idea-what-im-doing-… I think it was the Wolfgang who helped me with this a couple of months ago. I want a start/stop pair that will take as an argument a key-value to set the beginning of the line numbering. So here's my example: \def\startnumberedblockquote {\dosingleempty\dostartnumberedblockquote} \def\dostartnumberedblockquote[#1]% {\getrawparameters[numberedblockquote][start=1,#1]% \blank[line]% \begingroup \setupindenting[no]% \setuplinenumbering[location=text] \startlinenumbering[width=1cm][\numberedblockquotestart]} \def\stopnumberedblockquote {\stoplinenumbering \endgroup \blank[line]} \starttext \startnumberedblockquote[start=3] \input knuth \stopnumberedblockquote \stoptext This works with 2012.06.30 12:32, but not with 2012.07.07 15:04. All best Thomas

\seeindex and processors
by Wolfgang Schuster 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Hi Hans, processors aren’t applied to the second argument of \seeindex, only the first is formatted. \defineprocessor[smallcaps][style=\sc] \starttext Apples\index{smallcaps->Apple} Malus domestica\seeindex{smallcaps->Malus domestica}{smallcaps->Apple} \placeindex[n=1] \stoptext Wolfgang

\setuphead and testpage
by Wolfgang Schuster 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Hi Hans, can you add a testpage option to \setuphead? %\setuphead[section][testpage=4] \setuphead[section][before={\testpage[4]\blank[2*big]}] \starttext \section{First} \dorecurse{36}{Line \recurselevel\par} \section{Second} \dorecurse{36}{Line \recurselevel\par} \stoptext Wolfgang

setupcaptions
by Meer, H. van der 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

I want to make my figure captions both slanted and small, or bold and small,etc. The wiki has for setupcaptions: headstyle normal, bold, .. , small, .. style normal, bold, .. , small, .. I therefore expected to work the following setup: \setupcaptions[headstyle={slanted,small},style={bold,small}] \starttext \placefigure{A dummy figure}{\externalfigure[dummy]} Caption test. \stoptext But no, two seems too much. style={bold} does work and style={small} but style = {bold,small} does not. From the general principles of ConTeXt's parameter handling I would have expected this to work. Of course I could have used style={\bf\switchtobodyfont[small]}, but I would prefer to refrain from low level font commands when possible. I am right the setupcaptions should work with combined fontsettings, or is it my mistake? Hans van der Meer

seeindex: accents and such
by Andreas Mang 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

Dear all, I have some minor problems with \seeindex It seems that it does not render accents properly nor is it possible to introduce commands. Is this an intended behavior, am I doing something wrong or is there a bug? Cheers, Andreas Minimal example: \setupregister[index] [ style={\bf\WORD}, balance=yes ] \starttext % seeindex does not render ssharp properly Wei{\ssharp}wurst\index{Wei{\ssharp}wurst}\seeindex{German sausage}{Wei{\ssharp}wurst} % same holds for accents M\"unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier\index{M\"unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier}\seeindex{good beer}{M\"unchner Wei{\ssharp}bier} % switching font style {\sc Test}\index[Test]{\sc Test}\seeindex[Test]{Testing}{\sc Test} \completeindex \stoptext

bodyfont message
by Meer, H. van der 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

I get this message in the log because of font usage: fonts > bodyfont 70pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 84pt is defined (can better be done global) fonts > bodyfont 56pt is defined (can better be done global) I am inclined to follow the suggestion, but I cannot think of the most correct way to do this. Someone willing to show it to me? Hans van der Meer
