\startmode and \ignorespaces
by Hans van der Meer 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

A little while ago I asked whether \doifmode and friends should have an \ignorespaces at the end. Hans Hagen answered "no" and after some reasoning (probably along the same lines as his) I agree with him. Thus one uses in a quite natural way: some text\doifmode{xyz}{ conditional text} following text doing nothing else than: some text conditional text following text. With regard to this it is understandable and correct that extra space is taken in the next construct: some text \doifmode{xyz}{ conditional text} following text. But it looks different to me when using the \startmode .. \stopmode pair. ---- some text. \startmode[xyz] some conditional text. \stopmode further text. In order to avoid here the extra space one has to code an extra % ---- some text. \startmode[xyz]% some conditional text. \stopmode further text. or (not preferred imho): ---- some text.% \startmode[xyz] I think this is error prone as it is al too easy to forget the %. The situation here differs from the \doifmode-case. I tend to believe that the fact that the \startmode[] .. \stopmode construct invites one to separate the statements with newlines (whitespace thus). Therefore I would ask if this plea for an \ignorespaces effect at the end of the \startmode[xyz] should be honored. Hans van der Meer

Dear Wolfgang, >> >> There is an error message, "undefined control sequence as below when I use "\startstructureblockenvironment": > > Use \startsectionblockenvironment. > After changing "structureblock" to "sectionblock", it works fine. And, I see that the wiki is already changed. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

With the change to [strut=no,offset=overlay] the result looks a litlebit better. Though there is still whitespace to the left and to the right. \definelayer[Kontaktdaten][x=50mm,y=150mm,width=30mm,height=40mm,state=start] % size is ignored! \setupbackgrounds[paper][setups=ALayer,background=Kontaktdaten,state=start] \starttext \strut \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][frame=on,hoffset=0mm,voffset=0mm][strut=no,offset=overlay] % <==== look here { {\externalfigure[jkopp][width=30mm][height=40mm]} } \stoptext Look here: http://www.imagebanana.com/view/ksjzn63e/FotoinLayer.png Janis Am 14.10.2011 00:22, schrieb Mojca Miklavec: >> \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][frame=on,hoffset=0mm,voffset=0mm,align=left] > strut=no,offset=overlay > > align=left doesn't do what you want it to do. > > Mojca >

Step by Step I'm going forward. This shuld be the result, when I am ready: http://www.imagebanana.com/view/f4o3un2c/Entwurffriends.png At the moment I try to get the foto into a layer. Though the layer is definded as 30x40mm and the foto as well - the foto does not fit into the layer: the layer is a bit bigger. See here: http://www.imagebanana.com/view/29611n9s/FotoinLayer.png And here is what I did: \definelayer[Kontaktdaten][x=50mm,y=150mm,width=30mm,height=40mm,state=start] % size is ignored! \setupbackgrounds[paper][setups=ALayer,background=Kontaktdaten,state=start] \starttext \strut \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][frame=on,hoffset=0mm,voffset=0mm,align=left] { {\externalfigure[jkopp][width=30mm][height=40mm]} } \stoptext How can I fit the foto exactly into the layer?

missing html entities in latest ConTeXt
by Mojca Miklavec 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

When processing HTML with TeX Live 2011, all the entities are nicely converted into corresponding characters. With latest version of ConTeXt I get literal "le" instead of ≤ for ≤ or "hellip" instead of ... for … I will try to send a minimal version (the one I sent with MathJax can probably serve as a good starting point).

bug: wrong subject name in headertext
by Mojca Miklavec 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hello, the following example might not be the most minimal possible example, but I hope that it is short enough. I'm using \setupheadertexts [] [subject] to print subject into header, but the headers are screwed up in some very weird way. My real document behaves differently that this minimal example, but even here one can notice that headers say: - This is first heading - This is fourth heading - This is second heading - This is fourth heading instead of getting the second heading. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Thank you, Mojca \startbuffer[test1] <html> <body> <h1>This is first heading</h1> <p>some text</p> <h1>This is second heading</h1> <p>some text</p> </body> </html> \stopbuffer \startbuffer[test2] <html> <body> <h1>This is third heading</h1> <p>some text</p> <h1>This is fourth heading</h1> <p>some text</p> </body> </html> \stopbuffer \startxmlsetups all:html \xmlsetsetup{main}{h1}{*} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups h1 \subject{\ignorespaces\xmlflush{#1}} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{all:html} \setuphead [subject] [style=\bfa, page=odd] \setupheadertexts [] [subject] \starttext I have some text first \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test1}{} \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{test2}{} \stoptext

Interpreting MathJax HTML in MKIV
by Mojca Miklavec 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hello, I would like to manually create some HTML which would be displayed nicely in both HTML and PDF (using MKIV for conversion from HTML). To a certain degree I'm able to fake mathematics with <span class="math"><span class="letter">ax</span><sup>2</sup> + <span class="letter">bx</span> + <span class="letter">c</span> = 0</span> where <span class="math"> signals TeX to use \mathematics{...} and <span class="letter"> signals web browser that the letter has to be displayed in italic (I could use class="math", but this would also make numbers italic). But this is very cumbersome to write. MathJax offers an excellent way to enter math formulas in an easy way (see attached HTML), but I'm not sure how I could convince the XML parser to treat contents literally. Any ideas? Thank you very much, Mojca

nice friends-book with ConText
by Jan Heinen 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hello, I hope the answer is easier than the question :-) I am a ConText-Newby and am struggeling with the huge amount of ConText-commands. I want to make a little book with infos and fotos of our friends - and I am afraid, the nice layout I have in mind is to complicated or impossible with ConText - at least for me. The book will have 40 pages and every page with the same layout. I have posted the layout I want to use as a .png to http://www.imagebanana.com/view/f4o3un2c/Entwurffriends.png Which ConText-commands do I need for this layout? I tried \inmargin - without success. \definelayer and \setlayerframed worked (a littlebit) - though the running text (beneath the headline) runs through the layer. What seems the easiest way? layers, columns, ? Maybe someone here has a little example which I can finetune. Which hints can be given? I would be very happy about a rough structure of the context-code - I think then I am able to do the finetuning with the manuals. I am working with Linux - so Indesign is no alternative for me :-) Regards Jannis
