interesting LaTeX package for flowing text
by Piotr Kopszak 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hello List, Just came across this today. Haven't even tried it. Just wondering whether it could be ported to ConTeXt at all. http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/flowfram.html Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Interaction and TOC/content problmes
by Martin Althoff 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

I am having a couple of small problems with the interaction. In principle it's working, but... 1. The TOC is added to the bookmarks, which is fine, but with a lower-case "c", ie. "content" 2. From http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF_Bookmarks_and_Headers I figured out how to get rid of the \crlf in the header. Actually, I'd be happy to just pass the word "Introduction" to the bookmarks and leave out the rest. Any way of doing that? 3. Strangely enough, placing \bookmark{Intro} after the \title {Introduction -- \crlf Welcome} replaces the "content" entry and points to the content, but putting a \bookmark after \completecontent leads to no output at all. Thanks for any pointers !

setup for (start)paragraph?
by Steffen Wolfrum 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hi, there seems to be a confusion in contextgarden (at least *I* am confused): Isn't there also a setup for "\startparagraph ... \stopparagraph"??? "\defineparagraphs" is something different, no? See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/startparagraph "Reference/en/startparagraph \startparagraph [edit]Syntax \startparagraph ... \stopparagraph [edit]Description [edit]Example % Source: ConText Manual ms-cb-en.pdf % Define a paragraph environment with 3 columns. % Insert a blank line just before and just after the paragraph. \defineparagraphs[mypar][n=3,before={\blank},after={\blank}]" Steffen

beta
by Hans Hagen 11 Aug '10

11 Aug '10

Hi, I uploaded a beta with some bugfixes and new features = bookmarks: force forces subject into the bookmarks: \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection,subject][all][force=yes] dedicated optional configuration: \setupbookmarks[numberstarter=<,numberstopper=>] control over numbers: \setupbookmarks[number=no] % for any following \placebookmarks...[number=no] % for given entries you can give multiple \placebookmarks commands as they accumulate = sectioning \placelist[chapter][criterium=text,interaction=all] with \setuphead[chapter][interaction=list] you also get backlinks = pdf/x Peter and I sorted out some issues and believe that we now have a reasonable interface. Examples are in pdf-x*.mkiv in the distribution. \setupbackend [format=valid pdf/x name, profile=name.icc, intent=name.icc, level=compresslevel, % default 3 file=optional specification file, option=always|never] (I'll make a --directives=backend.showformats one of these days.) Peter will probably have some more explanation later (what formats, tracing, when to use what, etc). We hope to wrap it up in an article some day.

Dear Hans, Yes, your output is working fine. But mine is not. It means that my minimal produce a different output from yours. Did you see log file? Is there nothing special? I'll reinstall minimal and try again. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Placing footnotes in right margin en bloc at bottom of page
by Elias Oltmanns 10 Aug '10

10 Aug '10

Hi there, not being a ConTeXt user myself, I have been advised on the tex-d-l list of the German TUG that a certain problem could possibly be solved more easily in ConTeXt than in LaTeX. So, here is what I'm trying to achieve: The numerous but short footnotes of a document shall be placed in the right margin rather than below the main text area. Additionally, though, the footnotes should not be placed near the call up (similar to what \marginpar does), but type set en bloc at the bottom of the page. In other words, the main text area should have fixed margins all round across all pages and the footnotes should be printed in a small rectangular block beside the main text area such that the height of this block varies according to the number of footnotes on the page, but the block is always flushed to the bottom of the page. You'll find an ascii art illustration below. Is such a layout feasible in ConTeXt without too much hassle at all? Regards, Elias ================================ = | = = | = = | = = M A I N | = = | = = T E X T | = = | = = A R E A | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = | = = |-----= = |foot-= = |notes= ================================
