context mkiv metafun
by Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz 06 Feb '10

06 Feb '10

Hi list, another problem I encountered while installing and testing context- minimals is that the context command is not willing in my case to autobuild the metafun graphics I included in the document. Would be nice if someone has an advice to me on to fix that, got it working under texexec by creating a cont-sys.tex and linking it to the directory where cont-sys.ori is located. Greetings Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz

overlay at given position: help needed
by Peter Münster 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hello, Below is a test file, to show a bit what I'm looking for: a background-image behind a text-area at a given position relative to the center of this area. I'm not yet satisfied with the result. Here my questions: 1.) Is \startframedtext a good choice for placing the background, or is there something better? 2.) Is \framed[loffset=..., toffset=...]{} a good choice for specifying the position, or is there something better? 3.) When "left=1", why is the image completely outside the frame and not only 50%? 4.) How do I make a step between text and background according to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Presentation_effects ? I would like to show first the text, and after a mouse-click the background image. Thanks in advance for any help! Cheers, Peter The test-file: % Begins a text-area with a background-image: \def\startBGimg[#1]{% \getparameters[BGimg][top=0, left=0, width=2cm, #1]% \start \newdimen\TopOffset \newdimen\LeftOffset \setupframedtexts[before=, after=] \defineoverlay[myBG][{% \TopOffset=\overlayheight \LeftOffset=\overlaywidth \TopOffset=\BGimgtop\TopOffset \LeftOffset=\BGimgleft\LeftOffset \framed[frame=on, width=\overlaywidth, height=\overlayheight, offset=overlay, toffset=\TopOffset, loffset=\LeftOffset]{% \externalfigure[\BGimgimg][width=\BGimgwidth]}}] \startframedtext[background=myBG, frame=off, offset=overlay, width=\textwidth]} % Stops the text-area with a background-image: \def\stopBGimg{\stopframedtext\stop} \starttext \startBGimg[img=hacker.jpg, top=-1, left=-1] \input tufte \stopBGimg \startBGimg[img=hacker.jpg, top=-1, left=1] \input tufte \stopBGimg \startBGimg[img=hacker.jpg, top=1, left=-1] \input tufte \stopBGimg \startBGimg[img=hacker.jpg, top=1, left=1] \input tufte \stopBGimg \stoptext -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Any syntax highlighter for C++ MKIV?
by seasoul 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

The verbatim function in MKIV is really powerful, and pretty printing of progamming language is easy. But unfortuantely, I do not know how to modify the php, or lua pretty printing formatter to what I want --- C++ formatter. After laboriously searching, I failed to find any working formatter. Is this really really easy, nobody wants to post it? Or there is no person in need of such a formatter, but only me? I tried vim highlighting module in the wiki, but it always complains cannot find "xxx-vimsyntax.tmp" and something, in both windows and unbuntu. I know it is something about mtxrun curruent version. But I still cannot fix it after I did following the posts in this mailing list.

XML schema or DTD for describing pages or ads?
by William Adams 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Does anyone have any such? Or links? The only reasonable one I'm finding on-line is for an INX builder tool (which makes .inx files which can be loaded into InDesign). http://www.hyperobjects.fr/en/inx-builder/inx-builder-support/xml-syntax/in… William -- William Adams senior graphic designer Fry Communications Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.

Figure not placed at margin
by Tom 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

The following code fragment places the desired graphic at the beginning of the chapter but indents it to the right a quarter or 3/8 of an inch. The text (parameter #2, the chapter title) prints to the right of the figure but sometimes extends into the right margin. Other times, it wraps down to following lines as it should. The text begins right against the graphic (in a blank space) as it should, but the whole thing, graphic and text, are offset to the right rather than being aligned with the left margin. All other figures in the document are where they are supposed to be. Any ideas? \def\Myheader#1#2{ \setupfloats[offset=none,margin=0 in] \startfiguretext [left] [fig:graphic] {none} {\externalfigure[graphic][frame=off]} {\switchtobodyfont[26pt] {\ss\bf\sl #1}} \godown[.5in] {\ss\bf #2} \stopfiguretext} Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey
