Questions related to margin/dynamic layout
by Yue Wang 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hi, I have two questions related to margin: - is it possible to move footnotes to margin? - similar question: I want to have a list in the margin with all the indexes in the given page. How to make these possible? Third question is related to layout. I know how to change page layout for a particular page. but how to change layout for a page whose number is unknown? for example, I am writing a book that has several large pictures (imagine a portfolio, or a book introducing photography). in order to fit the pictures I plan to set each pictures as page background or layers, that spans 3/2 pages, while leaving the remaining span (1/2 page) for text. however, I don't know which page number the picture should be reside, but I know it should be put near some given text content. it's not possible to manually give the page number according to the content because usually document context/formatting change all the time. how to do that? Thanks.

filter and/or vim module in current beta
by Andreas Schneider 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hi, it seems the filter module doesn't currently work (in MkIV at least). It may be a problem with the vim module though, I'm not quite sure. The following example doesn't produce any output: -----8<--------------------------------------------------- \usemodule[vim] \definevimtyping[PASCAL][syntax=pascal] \starttext \startPASCAL program test; begin writeln('Hello World!'); end. \stopPASCAL \stoptext -----8<--------------------------------------------------- The output of context has only one line regarding t-filter: t-filter > command : I guess it's just "normal" then that there's no output ... if nothing is run. Any ideas whats going wrong here? Btw.: ConTeXt ver: 2011.08.26 13:32 MKIV fmt: 2011.8.26 int: english/english -- Best Regards, Andreas

\framed feature request
by Marcin Borkowski 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hello Hans, there are toffset, boffset, loffset and roffset parameters to \framed, and an offset parameter which sets all four (if I get it right). Would it be a trouble to add also hoffset (setting [l|]offset) and voffset (setting [t|b]offset)? Best, -- Marcin Borkowski

\setuplayout and splitted rotated tables
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hello everybody. I managed to set ConTeXt to properly split a rotated table. Now I have a big problem with the correct placement of page number in footer. If I set different layout and numbering in footer is OK then the table is badly divided. Is there some choices for layout settings so that the page numbering to work correctly in footer while the table rotated to properly divided? I tried many setups with diferent parameters of layouts but without succes. I'm beginning to feel that perhaps will not even possible do that. Must I turn off page numbering in footers, and manually put the data at the corresponding position on the page by using layers? Or exist any way to do it using \setuplayout? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my example: % http://source.contextgarden.net/page-lay.mkiv %\showframe \definepapersize[paperportrait][A4] \definepapersize[paperlandscape][A4,landscape] \definelayout[portrait][width=fit, topspace=5mm, header=1cm, footer=1.5cm, height=fit] \definelayout[rotatedportrait][location=middle,width=fit, height=fit, topspace=3.5cm] \setuppapersize[paperportrait] \setuplayout[portrait] \setupfootertexts[ŠVP Gymnázia Zábřeh][section][ŠVP Gymnázia Zábřeh][section] \setupfooter[style=\ssxx] \setuppagenumbering[state=start,location=footer, left=---\ , right=\ ---] \setupTABLE[split=yes] \setupTABLE[row][first][background=color,backgroundcolor=gray] \setupTABLE[column][1][width=1cm] \setupTABLE[column][2][width=2cm] \setupTABLE[column][3][width=3cm] \setupTABLE[column][4][width=4cm] \setupTABLE[column][5][width=5cm] \setupTABLE[column][6][width=6cm] \setupTABLE[column][7][width=5cm] \starttext \setuplayout[portrait] \input tufte \page \setuplayout[rotatedportrait] \placetable[90,split][tab:example]{Example of a rotated table} { \bTABLE \dorecurse{65}{\bTR\dorecurse{7}{\bTD x\eTD}\eTR} \eTABLE } \stoptext

Splitting of rotate table
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Hello ConTeXtist... How can I arrange for correct split of rotated tables? Division table does not respect margin of the page and on the next page is the rest of the table in the middle of the page (and not on the left edge). The table is placed separately on the whole page. Can reasonably arrange some trick? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my minimal example: \setupTABLE[split=yes] \setupTABLE[row][first][background=color,backgroundcolor=gray] \setupTABLE[column][1][width=1cm] \setupTABLE[column][2][width=2cm] \setupTABLE[column][3][width=3cm] \setupTABLE[column][4][width=4cm] \setupTABLE[column][5][width=5cm] \starttext \splitfloat {\placetable[here, force, 90][tab:example]{Example of a rotated table}}{ \bTABLE \dorecurse{35}{\bTR\dorecurse{5}{\bTD x\eTD}\eTR} \eTABLE} \stoptext

fonts

I guess I am missing something in my font handling here, but do not know what. Hans van der Meer This is the minimal example: \def\fontname{antykwa} \setupbodyfont[\fontname] \starttext Requested font = \fontname.\crlf \showbodyfont \stoptext This is my setup with respect to fonts: context/tex/texmf-fonts (link to /usr/local/textlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts Executed: mtxrun --script fonts --reload Executed: mtxrun --script fonts --list --name antykwa giving as output: antykwatorunskaregular antykwatorunskaregular AntykwaTorunska-Regular.otf Below is the output of the minimal example. Mark that \showbodyfont names modern, not antykwa. I get the same result with other fonts mentioned in "fonts in context" page 69-71 as preloaded typescripts! For example calling typeface cambria it even gives an error: ! Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set. system > tex > error on line 6 in file test.tex: Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set ... 1 \def\fontname{cambria} 2 \setupbodyfont[\fontname] 3 \starttext 4 Requested font = \fontname.\crlf 5 \showbodyfont 6 >> \stoptext 7 \doshowbodyfont ...mr \languageparameter \c!text $ \quad }\vrule }\cr \noalig... <to be read again> \stoptext
