\wordright and line break
by Andreas Harder 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Hello Hans, is there a reason (I’m sure there is) that \finalhyphendemerits\zerocount in the \wordright-definition is commented out? Without this line I get wrong line breaks with hyphenated words followed by \wordright{…}. \starttext \setupframedtexts[width=.65\textwidth,offset=none] \startTEXpage[offset=1ex] \hsize=.65\textwidth \startframedtext test text test text test text test text test text test testtext \wordright{(S.\,3, Z.\,78–97)} \stopframedtext \startframedtext test text test text test text test text test text test test- text \wordright{(S.\,4, Z.\,117–121)} \stopframedtext \stopTEXpage \stoptext Greetings, Andreas

MyWay on processing xhtml
by Thomas A. Schmitz 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

Dear all, Parick has just uploaded a MyWay that I've written. It's an introduction to processing xhtml files with ConTeXt. As such, it is probably most suitable for beginners; if you're an old hand at using and processing xml, there won't be anything new here. But if you're interested in having a web page and typeset output from the same source and a newbie on this field, this might be of interest to you. The MyWay and a few example files can be found at http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/tas/ All best Thomas

Hans, Something is also wrong with getting the width and height of a figure in mkiv. Minimal example: \starttext \getfiguredimensions[filename] \figurewidth \figureheight \stoptext Aditya

When components are compiled one by one, there is no such error. I use pre-stepwise. Without this module, there is no such error. I would like to help, finding the reason for the problem, but the last time, I've spent more than 2 hours to build a minimal example. So, I would be glad, if there are other, not so time consuming ways, to track down the problem. If there is no other way, I'll build a minimal example of course. TIA for any hints!

alternate end glyphs in MKIV
by Jeremy 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hi all, I want to get alternate end glyphs. Am I going about it correctly? I'm using the latext context minimals. The following compiles fine using the context command, but 'illustrate' ends with a normal e, not the e.end alternative. --------- test.tex ------------------------ \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[MEgalopolis Extra][features={mode=node,fina=yes}] \starttext Text to illustrate \stoptext --------- end ----------------------------- Thanks for your help, Jeremy

Wolfgang, editable pdf fields are also good idea, but this will be just another form or current workflow, and I want another thing. I want to generate pdf with data already filled in, taken from a database. The form should be repeated as many times as there are rows in the database. By database I mean xml or plain text or excel format (cvs), whatever easy editable. What about it? Vyatcheslav >> >> >> I have a rather specific question.

pret-c.lua
by Peter Münster 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

Hello, Thanks to the wiki-page "Custom pretty printer" I managed to write the pret-c.lua module here: http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/pret-c/ Comments and bug-reports are welcome. What about integrating it into the distribution, or is it better on http://modules.contextgarden.net/ ? Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
