Upright math
by Khaled Hosny 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Is there a way (MkIV) to set math to use upright symbols globally, for Latin and Greek (I'm working on an OpenType math font that has no italics). Another slightly related issue, is it possible to get some visual indication of missing glyphs, something like using .notdef char instead of just leaving it blank.

[OT] Edit PDF manually
by Oliver Buerschaper 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Dear list, I'd like to perform some basic PDF editing by hand ... can someone point me to a good source of introductory material to get me started? For example, I'd like to remove a text stamp from a given file but also learn something about PDF itself along the way ... if there's some open source editing tool that might help me understand bits and pieces of PDF I wouldn't mind either :-) Best wishes, Oliver

placetable (split but title only ONE time) ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hi, how do I set a long placetable to split, but write the legend/label only one time? This does repeat the title at every page: \setupcaption[table][location=top] \placetable [split] {A very long table} {\bTABLE \dorecurse{200}{\bTR\bTD Text \eTD\eTR} \eTABLE} But it should read "A very long table" only one time at the top of the TABLE. Thanks! Steffen

Subscript question
by Jorge Costa da Silva 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hello, I´m tring to learn Context... this is probably a Tex question but anyway: I want to make a subscript such that the smaller number (or something) is written wright under the bigger number (and not, as usual, at the left of the number). This seams an obvious task but i can´t do it. Thank you very much, Jorge

loooong stanzas (longer than a page)
by Piotr Kopszak 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hello list, Maybe I'm just too tired but I can't find a way to force long stanzas between \startlines and \stoplines to break and turn up on next page. Instead the stanza is simply truncated. Actually in my case the poems are not really divided into stanzas (i.e one stanza is one poem). Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Does ConTEXt manual also exist in a printer-friendly layout ?
by Julien Rouiller 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

Hi, I'm new to ConTEXt. I downloaded the misc documents and start reading the manual. After having read about 50 pages, I find all this very interesting, but is there a more printer-friendly version of the manual ? The screen-oriented layout of the documents is nice to show what ConTEXt can do, but my eyes soon get tired when reading long documents on a screen. I also don't need the navigation links when printing the manual. Thanks. Julien
