Change the gap between image and caption
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Hello ConTeXt folks. Is it possible to adjust the size of the gap between the lower edge of the picture and its caption in simple externalfigure command? By experimenting I found that this gap can be set in a floating environment (placefigure) using "inbetween" parameter. Is there possibilities do gap somehow larger or smaller in externalfigure environment? See minimal example. Thanx Jaroslav \starttext \setupcaptions[number=no,style=\ssxx,inbetween={\blank[1cm]}] \setupfloats[spacebefore=none, spaceafter=none] % \input tufte \placefigure[here]{Here is farther caption} {\externalfigure[mill][type=jpg,metod=jpg,width=5cm,frame=on]} \input tufte \page \startTEXpage \startcombination[3*1] {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on]}{This caption has to be more distanced.} {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on]}{This title has yet to be more distanced.} {\externalfigure[cow][frame=on]}{This label is to be closer to figure.} \stopcombination \stopTEXpage \stoptext

float names and lists
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 25 Nov '11

Dear gang, Consider the following: ================= \definefloat[tablecw] % \setupfloat[tablecw] \setupcaption[tablecw][prefix=Table] \starttext \setupfloats[location=middle] \placetable [here] [tablecw:test]{A Caption.} {\starttable[|c|c|c|] \HL \VL Test \VL Test \VL Test \VL\FR \HL \stoptable} \setupfloats[location=middle] \placetablecw [here] [tablecw:test]{A Caption.} {\starttable[|c|c|c|] \HL \VL Test \VL Test \VL Test \VL\FR \HL \stoptable} \placelistoftables % \placelistoftablescws \stoptext ================= Two challenges: 1. How do I change the prefix that heads the caption of a table? For example, \definefloat[tablecw] produces Tablecw 1 I want to keep the command name of the float but change the prefix. I tried things like \setupcaption[tablecw][prefix=My Table] \setupcaption[tablecw][name=My Table] but no success. 2. \placelistoftablescws produces an undefined control sequence: What am I missing here?

interaction?
by Hans van der Meer 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

I have troubles with interaction in a screen document. (1) I took the example from the wiki: \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupreferencing[interaction=all] \starttext Reference is here <\reference[label:1]{Some text}> \page[yes] % Insert page break Link to \goto{some text elsewhere}[label:1]. \stoptext Although the link on page-2 brings me to page_1, the contents of {Some text} has completely disappeared. Why is this? What is the essence of having this argument if it is not displayed? (2) Transfering this code to a more complex document containing other references, to figures, tables etc. makes the action disappear! Clicking then does nothing, although the links to the figures and tables can be used. The link works when the code above is placed BEFORE \completecontent. But becomes incative when put BEHIND it. The index however has links transferring to the various part of the3 document. Please can some enlighten me? Why are links through \placefigure, \placetable alive and those with \reference-\goto are not? Hans van der Meer

two column itemize page breaking
by Troy Henderson 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Occasionally when I use a two column itemize like \startitemize[n,a,columns,two] \item some text\column \item some more text \stopitemize near the bottom of a page, the second column item gets sent to the next page but the first column item stays on the current page. This is peculiar since they should "stay together". I would appreciate any advice on how to solve this problem. Thanks, Troy Henderson

[Regression] math: alignment parameters confused
by Paul Menzel 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Dear ConTeXt folks, there must be a regression between ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKIV fmt: 2011.7.24 int: english/english and ConTeXt ver: 2011.10.14 22:47 MKIV fmt: 2011.10.15 int: english/english. Using the minimal example \starttext \placeformula \startformula \startmathalignment[n=4, align={left, right, middle, left}] \NC A \NC B \NC C \NC D \NR \NC AA \NC BB \NC CC \NC DD \NR \stopmathalignment \stopformula \stoptext the last row is aligned like middle instead of left. Thanks, Paul

Hey list, I am trying to get text to appear in the margin, small, and italicized.

Double height rows using natural tables?
by Pavneet Arora 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

I have tried various combinations and have so far been unsuccessful in getting a row of double height using natural tables. I am following up and enclosing a minimal example, along with the a previous incarnation using TABLE, which does give me the intended layout. Any suggestions on how to do the same using natural tables would be greatly appreciated. advTHANKSance. -- ----- - Pavneet Arora

caption "none"
by Thomas A. Schmitz 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Has something changed here? With the latest beta, \placefigure[none] places a caption; and didn't use to: \starttext \placefigure[here]{none}{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \stoptext Or has this behavior been replaced with something else? Thomas
