Temporarily turning off hyphenation?
by Gerben Wierda 21 Mar '05

I haven't been able to find information about temporarily turning off hyphenation. Can it be done? (This is for a non-justified quote at the start of a chapter) G

I forgot one part at the end. Here it is again. I've got this in my environment file: \def\ClearChapterQuote{\def\ChapterQuote{}} \ClearChapterQuote \def\ChQuoteFormat#1{\starttext% \startalignment[left]% \startnarrower[4*left] \noindent{\hyphenpenalty 10000\em #1}% \stopnarrower\stopalignment\stoptext\blank} \setuphead[chapter] [page=left, before={\ChQuoteFormat{\ChapterQuote}\noheaderandfooterlines% \page[right]\blank[2*big]}, after={\ClearChapterQuote\blank[3*big]}% \noheaderandfooterlines] I've got two problems with this setup: First, even with the \hyphenpenalty I get this line breaking: For what can a man accomplish that has not been done a million times before? What can he say that he will not find in Lao-Tse or the Bhagavad-gita or the Prophet Isa- iah? John Steinbeck — Sweet Thursday (Interestingly, when I copy/paste this from Apple's Preview.app I get For what can a man accomplish that has not been done a million times before? What can he say that he will not find in Lao-Tse or the Bhagavad-gita or the Prophet Isaiah? John Steinbeck — Sweet Thursday) no -, no line break, etc. Anyway: this line breaking is really ugly. I can fix this by hand, but I'd rather have this working automatically. My second problem is that I get two empty numbered pages between chapters. As in page 13: last text of chapter 1 page 14: empty page with page number page 15: empty page with page number page 16: page with quote and no page number page 17: first page of chapter 2 no page number I'd like to get rid of pages 14 and 15. I think I need to only do a page=left when I am on a right page at that time (page=even has the same result) I even tried: \setuphead[chapter] [page=disable, before={\page[even]\ChQuoteFormat{\ChapterQuote}\noheaderandfooterlines% \page[right]\blank[2*big]}, after={\ClearChapterQuote\blank[3*big]}% \noheaderandfooterlines] Thanks, G

Getting a barred l for all the wrong reasons
by dw＠trichotomic.net 21 Mar '05

21 Mar '05

Greetings, hopefully this is a real quickie. I'm using XeConTeXt, regime UTF, language en, hoefler encoding uc & receiving a barred l for any instance of this: l/ Which makes it tough to have pairs like centripetal/centrifugal. :) Any clues? Kind regards, David

Title-page overlay
by Nikolai Weibull 21 Mar '05

21 Mar '05

I would like to put a rather large and complicated regular expression into the title-page of a document I'm writing. So far, I haven't had much luck defining an overlay that uses \starttyping ... \stoptyping. Basically, what I figured I should do was to write \defineoverlay [TitleGraphic] [{ \starttyping ... \stoptyping }] and then \setupbackgrounds[page][background=TitleGraphic] But that doesn't work: ! Argument of \copyverbatimline has an extra }. Have any suggestions on what I might try? Basically, what I want is a background with some arbitrary text, more or less like the pdfTeX user manual document does it [1], nikolai [1] http://www.pragma-ade.com/pdftex/pdftex-a.pdf -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: minimalistic.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

Layout stuff
by Adam Lindsay 21 Mar '05

21 Mar '05

Hi all. I've been trying to get layouts working, and wanted to verify some things (as I haven't really worked much in that space before). Is there any way to "inherit" a layout's parameters, such as: \definelayout [preset-1-1] [mypresettomodify] \setuplayout [mypresettomodify][width=65\averagecharwidth] (I finally figured out how to do what I want another way, but the question is still interesting to me.) Is the only way to activate a doublesided page layout though the page numbering mechanism? Thanks, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Configuring 2 trees [was RE: [NTG-context] Times New Roman]
by ishamid 20 Mar '05

20 Mar '05

Dear cartel, >===== Original Message From "Thomas A.Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz(a)uni-bonn.de> ===== What does > >kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL >produce? 1.I have 2 trees: C:\Context (from mswintex.zip) and C:\TeXLive (from July04). kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL works for the \Context tree: >C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\bin\kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL c:/ConTeXt/texmf-local >C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\bin\kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFMAIN c:/ConTeXt/texmf 2. What I would like: how do I properly modify texmf.cnf (presumably C:\ConTeXt\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf is the main one) so that a. C:\ConTeXt is given priority over C:\TeXLive; b. C:\TeXLive\texmf-var\web2c formats are searched after C:\ConTeXt\texmf-local\web2c c. C:\ConTeXt utilities like TeXFont install files to C:\ConTeXt\texmf-local\ instead of to C:\TeXLive\texmf-local (for some reason the C:\ConTeXt tree does recognize C:\TeXLive\texmf-local by default) Of course, I may be missing the big picture here, in which case please enlighten me! Part of my problem is that 1. apparently I can make both pdfetex and aleph formats in the TeXLive tree (efmt and fmt respectively), but only one of them in the ConTeXt tree (both are dumped as cont-en.fmt) 2. I can't just dump cont-tmf.zip into TeXLive\texmf-var, because some utilities (like texfont.exe) do not get updated or replaced. So I would have to manually delete e.g., texfont.exe and replace it with the new texfont.bat, making a mess of my TeXLive system. I really wish that updating/upgrading were not always such a pain...
