footnotes + protrusion, chapter
by Thomas A. Schmitz 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi all, I'm doing a book project with mkiv. I'm using protrusion and expansion with Adobe Garamond. This works wonderfully for the main text, but there's no protrusion and expansion in the footnotes. I tried setting it explicitly with \setupfootnotes[before=\enableprotruding] but I still get no protruding. Is this a bug, or how can I set this up for footnotes too? Thanks, and best wishes Thomas

Enumeration bug
by Willi Egger 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi all, There might be a bug in the enumeration environment. First the enumeration definition contains the option location=top. When an enumeration item is started while there is already a figure placed left, then the enumeration tag shows up as expected, however the text of the enumeration item starts at the left border of the text area. If the option location is set to location=left, then in the same condition as above, the enumeration tag shows up to the right of the enumeration text and if the text is long, the tag is also overwritten. I tested this with the version of Context of 2009-10-02. For testing please refer to the attached file. Kind regards Willi

Is it possible to put references format depending of mainlanguage? and other things
by Xan 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hi, I posted previously [http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2009/043675.html] but no one answer that. Is it possible to localizated bibliography module depending on \mainlanguage? I think for example in @inproceedings or @article in ams. It appears "number" for specifying the number of journal, but "number" is in english. It were useful if we could display "número" for \mainlanguage[es], "nombre" for \mainlanguage[ca], etc like we display tableofcontents or the title of references in \mainlanguage localization. For the other hand, is it possible to define second references like wikipedia? I plan to write a document that will have a normal bibliography citations (like \cite[bridson].... and display the book of Bridson) and a wikipedia-like citations for citing specifically paragraphs of text (that I want to display like wikipedia references \wikicite[This text appears in paragraph 2 of \cite[bridson] in a reject of ....]) Is it possible? Thanks in advance, Xan.

spread lines

Dear gang, Can one of you remind me if ConTeXt has a command for the following [or even if there is a better Plain TeX command]: \line{This \hfill is \hfill an \hfill evenly \hfill spread \hfill sentence.} Is there a command a la \ctxcommand[align=r2l,key=spread,width=textwidth]{This is an evenly spread sentence.} or even better \setupcommand[align=r2l,key=spread,width=textwidth] \ctxcommand{This is an evenly spread sentence.} [need lots of 'em] Played a bit with framed but could not get the linespacing to remain constant... ideas? Thnx in advance and Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

MK II ( \mainlanguage[fr] && \useencoding[ffr] )+ mpost
by aubin＠nibua-r.org 11 Oct '09

11 Oct '09

Hello, I'm trying to compile a product of a complex structure (env + project + product). - My useMPgraphics are included in a product using input - My environment starts with : enableregime[utf8] useencoding[ffr] mainlanguage[fr] just before startenvironment (else the horizontal spacing are not ok for my products, compiled as standalone documents) As is, the metapost processing halts on ! Illegal suffix of declared variable will be flushed. { l.149 path theshapemathortext { ;}{;} If I comment out *only* mainlanguage[fr], metapost's processings are OK but I have english labels (Content, Chapter...) instead of french ones (obviously). If I comment out *only* useencoding[ffr], metapost's processing areOK but horizontal spacing for punctation are not OK (i.e. with respect to french typographic standards). My question is : how I can obtain french labels + french punctuation SIMULTANEOUSLY ;) I use the up-to-date context/metapost from minimals... And I can't use MK IV since I need t-vim... (useencoding[ffr] is not known by MK IV as typeSTUFF from t-vim) Renaud

The layers I made include one graphic and two boxes of text. We use the graphic and two text boxes on the first page of a letter. The other pages use plain sheets of paper. You also showed me how to get the effect I want in a separate message. This solution worked perfectly. Thank you very much! The solution: > \usemodule[letter] > > \definelayer[PC][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] > > \startsetups PC > > \setlayer[PC][y=20pt]{...} > > \setlayer[PC][x=..,y=..]{...} > > \stopsetups > > \setupletterstyle[lettermain][setups=PC,background=PC] > > ... % more settings > > \starttext > > \startletter > ... > \stopletter > > ... % more letters > > \stoptext As I understand it, \setupletterstyle[lettermain][setups=PC,…] means that those setups are repeated with every letter. Hence, the desired effect. Thanks again! Michael
