Hello it was a ConText-night, and as a newby I learned a lot about ConText :-) Here is what I wanted to get: http://www.imagebanana.com/view/f4o3un2c/Entwurffriends.png And here are my results: http://www.imagebanana.com/view/8vq30irn/ContextLayers.png There are only little things which could be improved: How?? 1. where comes the frame around the foto from? How can I switch it off? 2. There is a thin white line between layer A and the Infobox. How to rid of it? 3. How can I get padding into the Infobox? top, botttom, right and left And here is my code for everyone who likes the layout of my friends-book ;-) \definelayer[Kontaktdaten][x=20mm,y=30mm,width=65mm,height=30mm,state=start] \setupbackgrounds[paper][setups=ALayer,background=Kontaktdaten,state=start] \starttext \strut \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgreen,width=10mm,height=130mm,frame=off,hoffset=-20mm,voffset=145mm,align=right]{A} \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][background=color,backgroundcolor=darkgreen,width=10mm,height=60mm,frame=off,hoffset=-20mm,voffset=85mm,align=right]{B} \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgreen,width=60mm,height=175mm,frame=off,hoffset=-10mm,voffset=100mm,align=right]% {Infobox:\crlf Peter\crlf New York\crlf 0171/782801\crlf test(a)test.de} \setlayerframed[Kontaktdaten][width=30mm,height=40mm,frame=\LayoutTest,hoffset=-10mm,voffset=60mm][strut=no,offset=overlay]% {\externalfigure[niceImage][width=30mm,height=40mm]} \page \stoptext Regards Jannis

Behaviour of \tfx versus \tfa
by Hans van der Meer 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

I found the following disparity in behaviour between \tfa, etc. and \tfx, \tfxx: \tfa, \tfb etc. do change mathsize too, but \tfx, \tfxx do not % These remedy it: \let\orgtfx\tfx \let\orgtfxx\tfxx \def\tfx{\orgtfx\dosetcurrentfontsize{x}} \def\tfxx{\orgtfxx\dosetcurrentfontsize{xx}} Is the difference intentional? Or is Hans willing to incorporate the change in a next beta? Hans van der Meer

\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

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
