InteractionsBar - another shot
by Matthias Weber 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Dear al, let me try again: The following works in mkii but all the buttons get squeezed together in mkiv. I have the hunch that I'm doing something that I am not supposed to which just accidentally works in mkii. But I can't figure out what. Thanks, Matthias \setupbodyfont [10pt] % Colors \setupcolors [state=start] \setupcolor [rgb] \definecolor [HyperlinkColor] [r=.6,g=.1,b=.2] %Hyperlinks \definecolor [ContrastColor] [r=.1,g=.2,b=.2] % ? \definecolor [InteractionColor] [r=.1,g=.3,b=.2] %available actionbar bars \definecolor [ContrastColor2] [r=.1,g=.1,b=.4] %current actionbar bar \setupinteraction [ state=start, menu=on, page=yes, color=HyperlinkColor, contrastcolor=ContrastColor] \setupinteractionmenu [bottom] [leftoffset=+10pt, rightoffset=-10pt] \startinteractionmenu[bottom] \txt \InteractionButtons \\ \stopinteractionmenu \def\InteractionButtons% {\interactionbuttons [width=40em,height=1em] [PreviousJump,NextJump, firstpage, firstsubpage,previouspage,nextpage,lastsubpage, lastpage, CloseDocument]} \setupinteractionmenu [ state=start] % Page Layout \setuppapersize [S6][S6] \setuplayout [ bottomspace=.8cm, bottom=12pt] \starttext \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext

Indent of heading when using command option
by Jan Pohanka 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hello, I have following code (simplified) \def\mySubject#1{#1} \setuphead[subject][style=\bfb\ss,color=HeadColor,before=,after=,textcommand={\mySubject}] When the command option is not set it works as expected and typeset the heading (subject) without any indenting, but using the command causes the small horizontal space in front of the subject. Is there any possibility to get rid of it? best regards Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratným poštovním klientem Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Mk II, textstyle=cap not working
by Michael Ewe 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hello ConTeXt gurus, as a newbie I checked the example from "ConTeXt an excursion" page 11 ("Hasselt makes headlines"). The manual says: use "textstyle=cap" to format a chapter's head in capitals. Short story: the manual lies ;-) The sample does not work (at least in Mk II) Longer story: Sample works, when using ConTeXt Mk IV Even longer story: Being curious, I wanted to learn how the page 11 in the manual actually was typeset. I downloaded all the available sources from the pragma web-site. and found out: the source code does not even use "textstyle=cap". Instead it uses "textstyle=bold". Manual and available source apparently do not match. Nothing to learn here... Ok, now for my questions: 1) Is it a Mk IV feature not working in Mk II ? 2) Is it a bug? 3) Is there a way, I can tell (1) and (2) apart? Best Regards, Michael Ewe, Germany

SVG 2 MetaPost/MetaFun
by Matija Šuklje 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Is there a SVG to MetaPost/MetaFun converter available? I want to get this quite simple logo to converted from SVG into a ConTeXt- native vector graphic. Cheers, Matija P.S. Too bad SVG is not ConTeXt-native (yet?) -- gsm: +386 41 849 552 www: http://matija.suklje.name xmpp: matija.suklje(a)gabbler.org

Multiple side-by-side tables
by Troy Henderson 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

I would like to put several tables side-by-side one another. Nesting \placesidebyside commands seems a bit inconvenient. Suggestions on how to make \starttable ... \stoptable not create a newline (without the \placesidebyside command) would be greatly appreciated. -- Troy Henderson

temporarily disabling enumeration numbering
by Vianney le Clément 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hello again, Section 10.3 of the manual says that one can disable numbering for one item of an enumeration by putting [-]. However, this seems to affect the following item instead of the current one. For example, \defineenumeration[MyEnum][location=left] \starttext \MyEnum First\par \MyEnum[-] Second\par \MyEnum Third\par \MyEnum Fourth\par \stoptext removes the number of the third line, instead of the second one.

\framed[location=top] and slanted tex gyre bonum
by Vianney le Clément 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hello, Yet another new ConTeXt user here. To briefly introduce myself, I am a computer scientist interested in typography as a hobby. Up to now, I did most things in LaTeX (sometimes resorting to ugly TeX hacking). Recently I gave ConTeXt MkIV a try and am quite happy with it. Now my question: I have some problems with the vertical alignment of \framed and some slanted fonts. Using the latest beta, the test file at the end of this message adds a slight whitespace in the two last blocks (using a slanted font). This does not happen when using the default Latin Modern font. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Splitting a page in given ratios
by Matthias Weber 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Dear all, this is probably even easy in plain TeX, but as I have never learned it properly, I am asking anyway: I would like to have a way to split a part of a page into two columns of different width, so something like \startsplitpage[columns=2,spacing=fill] \startcolumn[1][width=.6 \textwidth] \input{tufte} \stopcolumn[1] \startcolumn[2][width=.3 \textwidth] \placefigure[theBeerBottle] \stopcolumn[2] \stopsplitpage so that the individual columns are treated (if possible) as separate pages with all features (like \framed etc) adapted to the page width of the smaller sub-pages. This could replace (for me) the somehow (for me) disfunctional figuretext construct. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Matthias

Need help with the "letter" module
by Matija Šuklje 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hullo, I'm trying to write a letter, but it gets all screwy. The first batch of letter settings works OK (opening, closing, signature); but then the from* and to* blocks fail resulting in a PDF that just quotes that code on a separate page. Clearly I'm doing something wrong although I'm looking at the manuals: http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/t- letter/doc/context/third/letter/correspondence.pdf MkII from TexLive 2008.
