Need help with \setuphead and spacing
by Nicola 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Hi, I still have a couple of requests from a publisher, which I do not know how to fulfill: 1) I need to shift the title 12pt below the top margin. This is my command now: \definefont[TitleStyle][SerifBold at 14pt] \setuphead[title][ style=TitleStyle, align=middle, textstyle=WORD, before={\blank[12pt]}, after={\blank[3pt]} ] But 'before' does not seem to have any effect. My document starts with \starttext\title{...}. 2) I need (sub)section titles indented by .75cm, regardless of the section number, so that in: 1 First Section 1.1 First Subsection 100 Another Section Title 100.1 Another subsection the section titles are aligned. I have tried to use the 'distance' option, but that seems to set the distance between the section number and the section title. I am stuck with these, so any help would greatly be appreciated. I am using MKIV 2011.02.25 22:03 to compile. Nicola

chapter and section titles in margin of each page
by C. 02 Apr '11

02 Apr '11

Hello, this is nice: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Headers_and_Footers#Marginal_headings_and_cent ered_headings However, the text in the margin has not the same interlinespace as the main text and that looks weird. See http://i52.tinypic.com/91rc.png The only solution I came up with is using \framed: \startsetups[text a] \framed[align=flushleft, height=24\lineheight, width=\rightmarginwidth, frame=off ] {\getmarking[section]} \stopsetups The drawback seems to be that with this, I can not use \raised , so I have to enlarge the frame (It says "A box is expected here" when I try to raise the frame). Is there a better solution? P.S: Bonus points: Align baselines of margin text and main text.

string 'space' instead of space ' ' in Russian/Ukranian translations

Hi! While converting translations to lang-txt.lua many spaces in Russian and Ukranian translations were replaced by the string "space". See attached patch.

rscale (only for integers?)
by Steffen Wolfrum 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Hi, in a typescript I need to set sansserif font proportional bigger than serif font. Using "rscale"? As far as I have seen this only works when integers are used for bodyfont: \starttypescript [times] \definetypeface [times] [ss] [sans] [helvetica] [default] [rscale=10.2] \stoptypescript \usetypescript[times] %\setupbodyfont[times,10pt] % <- try this ... \setupbodyfont[times,10.1pt] % <- ... and then this \starttext Test \ss{text} \stoptext Unfortunately the sizes for bodyfont and footnotes are specified by publisher (10.1pt and 8.5pt). Is there a chance to get rscale working even for theses decimal fractions? Steffen

Bibliography -- complete inline citations in footnotes
by Piotr Lesnicki 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Hi, I'm new to ConTeXt and I'm greatly appreciating the rejuvenation it brings me in typesetting after several years using LaTeX. I'm confronted to a few little problems though, the main one being that I'd need to have references both in the footnotes and at the end of a document. Under LaTeX I found that the "inlibib" package is doing exactly that, inserting some "ibid" and "op.cit." when required for repeting references. After reading the bibmod-doc, I thought I would temporarly solve the problem by simply using \setuppublications[refcommand=data] which I thought would put the reference in the same format as in the bibliography, but it doesn't compile. Does any one have a solution? Piotr

Gradient in table header
by Felix Ingram 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Is such a thing possible? I'd like to have a gradient changing from blue to white across my table header, spanning all columns. I'll probably be using the TABLE environment. Regards, Felix

You can place them to tex/texmf-local/ or tex/texmf-fonts/ in TDS structure (it has to start with "fonts" and then you can either follow TDS or put all the files inside fonts/data/<fontname>). But I'm not even sure which fonts are used for cm-like Cyrillic. You can download them from CTAN (http://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts) or (more reliably) from TeX Live (http://ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive) or MikTeX since they are guaranteed to be in proper TDS structure. You only need to know how to unpack them. On Mac I had xzdec somewhere in macports (and it also comes with TeX Live), while on linux I took source and compiled it myself. Mojca

Minimal example for Cyrillic
by Aleksandr Sinicyn 01 Apr '11

01 Apr '11

Hello! Cyrillic characters get transliterated after being processed by "texexec". The following example: \enableregime[utf] \useencoding[cyr] \definetypeface[russian][rm][serif][computer-modern][default][encoding=t2a] \setupbodyfont[russian,24pt] \starttext Немного русского текста для пробы. \stoptext produces this result: Nemnogo russkogo teksta dlya probery. Solution posted at "http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2008/035330.html" no longer works with context version "ConTeXt ver: 2010.09.09 23:45 MKII fmt: 2010.9.10 int: english/english" but produces the following message: ! Font \*russian12ptrmtfrm*:=larm1000 at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. <to be read again> Thank you for help. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow

The first is the title of the page (Reference/en/doif...) and the second is the exact name of the command. No real perfect solution, but it's just the way it is. I'd appreciate if we can move this discussion to the public mailing list. Thanks Patrick
