linespacing?
by Hans van der Meer 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

This comes from the ConTeXt manual (section 4, page 65) \starttext \setuplinespacing[height=1mm] \stoptext It gives an error: ! Undefined control sequence. l.2 \setuplinespacing [height=1mm] ? Two pages earlier there is \starttext \setupinterlinespace[height=2] \stoptext And this works, but I am not sure what the number values for height and depth mean. I guess fractions of the normalbaselineskip, but I could not find it defined in the text there. What doesn't work is for example: \starttext \setupinterlinespace[height=1ex] \stoptext But sounds fairly natural to me. However, the error is: ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> p \!!plus ->p lus \setnormalbaselines ...gridsnapping \else \!!plus \baselinegluefactor \openl... \spacing ...thfactor \points }\setnormalbaselines \setstrut <inserted text> ...nizefont \fi \spacing \plusone \presetnormallineheight \s... \setfontparameters ...tsfalse \the \everybodyfont \synchronizefontstrue ... l.2 \setupinterlinespace[height=1ex] May I kindly suggest that some has a look at this?

No widows and orphans
by Cecil Westerhof 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

I do not want to have widows and orphans. Because of this I use: \clubpenalty=10000 \widowpenalty=10000 But this has no effect. Still the last two lines of a paragraph are put on the next page instead of the complete paragraph. I somewhere read about using: setups=*strict so I now have: \setuplayout[ header=0mm, setups=*strict, ] This makes it a little better. Now three lines are put on the other page. Is it possible to get the complete paragraph on the other page? -- Cecil Westerhof

It looks like a black background that has been shifted down somewhat. I don't know (and yes, I get that bottom bar as well). Best wishes, Taco

playing colors more
by Hans van der Meer 01 Mar '11

Why is the second color in the palet not showing up? I foolowed the example in the manual (section 6 page 6). Strange: adding a third color in the palet (see comment) now shows the first two! Off by one error in a loop?

problems with bib
by Stefan Müller 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Hi list, until now I used the bib module for my bibliography in a rather large document in MkIV by calling \usemodule[bib]. Today I updated to version 2011.02.25 22:03 and the document does no longer compile. I removed the above line from my document and it ran again, but the "References" section was empty and I got "[[error 1]]" everywhere I used \cite. So I changed \completepublications to \completepublications[criterium=all]. Now I have the complete list of references (I know, I asked for it) but instead I only want to have those references in the list that I cited in the document. Some questions: (1) Is the bib module obsolete? If so, can someone provide me with a small example how to properly make bibliographies now, preferably from a .bib-file? (2) If this is not already answered by the first question: How do I get the references list to display only the cited entries from my bibliography, "[criterium=?]"? (3) What do I have to do to let context find the sample.bib database? I get "I couldn't open database file sample.bib.bib" or "I couldn't open database file sample.bib" in the output depending on whether I added ".bib" or not. My current setup is this: %\usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database={mybibdatabase.bib}] \setuppublications[alternative=ams, refcommand=num] \setupcite[num][lastpubsep={, }] \setupcite[author][left=, right=] ... \completepublications[criterium=all] Any help appreciated, Stefan

Screen document design
by Ian Lawrence 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Morning all, Quick question. I want to design a screen document at 1024 by 768 pixels, so ideally work in pixels as units, and not mm / cm. I know pdfs are scalable and about \setuppapersize[S6][S6], but I'd prefer to work in pixels (I have swfs / images to embed, and these come in x by y pixels). Anyone have an easy answer? ...nothing I have found in the selection of downloadable documentation or on the wiki suggests that it is possible... Thanks Ian

Labels, offsetting the layout...
by Willi Egger 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Hi all, I should prepare a couple of sticky-labels. The label-sheet however has a top margin of 21 mm as also a bottom margin of 21 mm. At the left and right side there is a margin of 8 mm. The size of the label is 42.3 x 97mm. There are 16 such labels on each sheet. In order to get the prints correct I wanted to move the layout 8 mm to the right and 21 mm down... I had no success to complete this. Could someone enlighten me what I am doing wrong? Willi I have the following setup for testing: \definepapersize[Label][height=42.3mm,width=97mm] \definepapersize[Mypaper][A4] \setuppapersize[Label][Mypaper] \setuppaper [paper=Mypaper, topspace=21mm, backspace=8mm, dx=2mm, dy=0mm, nx=2, ny=6, margin=0pt, width=194mm, height=255mm, location=middle] \setuplayout [page=Label, topspace=4mm, backspace=5mm, margin=0mm, width=87mm, height=34.3mm, header=0mm, footer=0mm] \definelayer[Label][width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \setuparranging[XY] \starttext \dorecurse{12} {\setlayerframed [Label] [preset=leftbottom,y=.9cm,x=0mm] [frame=off, style=\tfx] {NTG-secretary} \startstandardmakeup \placelayer[Label]\page \stopstandardmakeup} \stoptext
