\doifnextcharelse problem
by Nikolai Weibull 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

It seems that I can't get \definecomplexorsimpleempty to work right. The command I define works fine unless the simple version is called, in which case the first character in the body of the command is checked \doifnextcharelse[... which thus fails but in some manner eats it (even though it is output). The problem with the \doifnextcharelse is that the character it checks against is \catcode'd to \@@active, but it won't work when the character has been checked. Is there any way to fix this? I understand if my problem isn't that clear, so I've attached the module. The idea is to be able to write \startbnfgrammar <exp>: <num>. <num>: "0";"1". \stopbnfgrammar and this is then typeset as a table, but currently you're forced to write \startbnfgrammar[] <exp>: <num>. <num>: "0";"1". \stopbnfgrammar or the first < in <exp> gets eaten by \doifnextcharelse and the \def<{... won't be called causing problems down the line when the > is encountered, which expands into a \egroup which stops tex as there is no matching \bgroup. Now, is there any way to get \doifnextcharelse to properly deal with \catcode'd characters (such as my <) that it encounters when looking for other characters (such as the [ for optional arguments to commands)? I'd really like to resolve this, so any comments or tips are appreciated. Second, is there any good reference to programming TeX? I mean, one can figure out most stuff from reading CONTEXT's source for example, but it would be great to find out the exact implications of builtins such as \relax and so on. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

Can itemize calculate optimal label widths?
by Stefan Wachter 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

Hi all! Is there a possiblity to have itemize calculate the optimal label width itself? I have an itemize that has rather different labels, e.g.: \startitemize \sym{1.} An item \sym{2.} Another item \sym{103 a.} An item with a very broad label \stopitemize In this example the label "103 a." flows into the item text. It would be great if itemize would automatically use a label width that fits the broadest label. Thanks for your attention, --Stefan

horoffset
by Thomas Lohmann 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

Hello all, just a short question. I have used \setuplayout[horoffset=-0.4cm] to correct the printing area of my laserprinter. But this is not possible for doublesided documents, made with \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided], because this changes the direction of the offset from page to page. Is there an other command? Or can I use \setuppapersize for that purpose? Thanks for your help, Greetings Thomas Lohmann

hyperlinks in PDF
by Alan Bowen 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

Using the \setupinteraction and \useURL commands, I can now generate active blue email links my PDFs—which is very cool. The downside is that my footnote numbers (both in the text and below) are now blue too. I can go two ways with this. One way would be to set the footnote links to toggle between the footnote call in the text and the footnote itself. The other would be to prevent ConTeXt from treating the footnote numbers as links. I have no idea about how to do either and would be grateful for suggestions for either strategy, though my preference would be for the first (assuming that it is possible). As it is now, clicking on the footnote call in the text changes the magnification so that the whole page fits on the screen, which is not all that desirable under the present circumstances. Alan

Gray bars on Windows 98se
by John Culleton 24 Feb '04

24 Feb '04

I am creating an e-book following closely the example program d-en-all.pdf. The color scheme is taken from the orignal without change. On my Slackware Linux box the reulting PDF file shows correctly, black type on a light gray background. But when I look at it on a Windows 98 SE machine (I have two such) using Acrobat Reader 5.05 each line of text has darker background than the page as a whole, as if each line on the page had been marked with a highlighter. On Linux (also Acrobat Reader 5.05 or thereabouts) no such banding occurs. It displays correctly using Xpdf as well. I will post the (incomplete) e-book on http://wexfordpress.com/tex/book.pdf if anyone wants to try viewing it on their own OS and version of Acrobat Reader. The pertinent source is contained in my macros.tex file as follows: ------------------------------- \setupoutput[pdftex] \setuppapersize [S6][S6] \setuplayout [header=0cm, topspace=.5cm, backspace=2cm, margindistance=.5cm, margin=1cm, rightmargin=0cm, rightedge=2cm, edgedistance=.5cm, width=fit, footer=1cm, height=middle] \usetypescriptfile[type-charter] \usetypescript[Charter] \setupbodyfont[MyCharter,14pt] \setupwhitespace[line] \setuphead [chapter] [alternative=inmargin, number=no, ownnumber=yes, after={\blank[3*medium]}] \setupfootertexts [text] [chapter][chapternumber] \setupcolors [state=start] \setuptyping [option=tex] \setupinteraction [% %openaction={firstpage,FitHeight} state=start, style=, color=blue, contrastcolor=, menu=on, title=Free Authoring Software: From Premise to PDF, author=John Culleton] \setupinteractionscreen[option=max] \definecolor [DarkGray] [s=.6] \definecolor [MediumGray] [s=.8] \definecolor [LightGray] [s=.9] \setupinteractionmenu [right] [background=color, backgroundcolor=LightGray, frame=off, state=start] \startinteractionmenu[right] \but [content] contents \\ \but [NextPage] next \\ \but [PreviousPage] previous \\ % \but [sample] sample \\ \but [PreviousJump] back \\ \but [ExitViewer] exit \\ \vfill \stopinteractionmenu \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=color, backgroundcolor=MediumGray] \setupbackgrounds [text][text] [background=color, backgroundcolor=LightGray, backgroundoffset=1.25mm] \setuplist [chapter] [alternative=f, after=, before=] \setuptyping [before=, after=] \definefont [VeryLarge] [SansBold at 72pt] \definefont [RatherLarge] [RegularBold at 30pt] \definefont [Large] [RegularBold at 24pt] \def\tm{\char153\ } ----------------------------- Any suggestions welcomed :-| -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com

Certainly I would find it useful if, when I wrote `\inmargin…' somewhere inside a paragraph, I could specify an option to determine the vertical alignment of the marginal material. Suppose `top' aligned the top of the marginal material with the top of the paragraph, `mid' the middle of the marginal material with the midpoint of the paragraph, and `bot' the bottom of the marginal material with the bottom of the paragraph. That would be good. > \newcounter\CurrentFigPar > > \def\StartFigPar#1% > {\doglobal\increment\CurrentFigPar > \placefigure > [leftmargin,line,none]{} > {\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{#1}% > > \ifnum\MPp{figpar:b:\CurrentFigPar}=\MPp{figpar:e: > \CurrentFigPar}\relax > \scratchdimen\MPy{figpar:b:\CurrentFigPar}% > \advance\scratchdimen-\MPy{figpar:e:\CurrentFigPar}% > \advance\scratchdimen-\ht\scratchbox > \advance\scratchdimen\lineheight > \else > \scratchdimen\zeropoint > \fi > \vbox{\vskip.5\scratchdimen\box\scratchbox}}% > \indent\hpos{figpar:b:\CurrentFigPar}{\strut}\ignorespaces} > > \def\StopFigPar > > {\removeunwantedspaces\hpos{figpar:e:\CurrentFigPar}{\strut}\endgraf} > > \starttext > > \input tufte > > \StartFigPar{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=1cm]} \input tufte > \StopFigPar > > \input tufte > > \stoptext=20 Thank you very much indeed, Hans. This puts cow.pdf in the right place in the margin. One problem remains. Surrounding a paragraph by \StartFigPar…\StopFigPar often messes up the inter-paragraph vertical spacing. In particular, surrounding \startformula…\stopformula by \StartFigPar…\StopFigPar introduces big spaces above and below the mathematics. Is there a simple way to stop this? It would be good if introducing a few \StartFigPar…\StopFigPar pairs to a document had no effect at all on the main body of the document, and just put figures in the margin. ----------------------- Jonathan Nicholl Department of Philosophy King's College London

multi media
by Hans Hagen 23 Feb '04

23 Feb '04

Hi, If you have acrobat 6 installed, you can try: http://www.pragma-ade.com/itdemos/internal/media/mediashow.pdf This file accesses - a movie - a flash - a smil - a mpeg however, - the smil does not work on a distance (probably bug in acrobat, resources are not picked up) - the smil does not work stand alone on a mac - the shockwave does not work on a mac (which associates the suffix/mime to quicktime) on windows, things seem to work ok in standalone as well as when served on localhost with url's; on macosx, a full screen startup looks rather strange (not centered, funny top bar) you can download http://www.pragma-ade.com/itdemos/internal/media/mediashow.zip to test it locally (8 meg file). If you're on linux or mac, try this on a xp machine. The files has - roll over buttons (not that new, was already present) - navigational layers (also not new, already present as well) - multimedia support The next release will support multimedia (a bit more than shown here). I have a separate demo file for that (still pondering how to distribute it). I'll see if I can write a My Way this week. Beware: multimedia support combined with other features is not always that stable in acrobat (apart from some bugs). Given that you have an xml file describing you media, texexec --use=med-show --pdf thatfile.xml will do the trick (in my version -) This is a first step towards a multimedia server/client based on pdf. So, if an able mac user is willing to write an xslt script for converting those itunes export files into a reslib format ...

alignment of marginal material
by Jonathan Nicholl 23 Feb '04

23 Feb '04

I am trying to write a macro which places a picture in the margin. I would like the centre of the picture to be aligned vertically with the centre of the paragraph in which I call the macro. The following works in simple cases: \def\hazard#1{% The argument is the text of the paragraph \setbox0=\vbox{#1}% I do this to work out the height of the paragraph \inleft [low] {% \framed% [height=\ht0,% This makes the height of the frame equal to the height of the paragraph top=\vss,% bottom=\vss,% These two lines centre the picture in the frame frame=off]% {\externalfigure [sharp turn sign]}% }% #1}% It goes wrong if you replace #1 with \box0 If I type something like \hazard{…paragraph text…} this produces what I want. But it breaks down with mathematics. \hazard{% \startformula …mathematics… \stopformula } produces the picture aligned with the bottom of the mathematics. A solution to this problem escapes me. Can anyone suggest an improved macro? Best wishes, Jonathan ----------------------- Jonathan Nicholl Department of Philosophy King's College London

boldsymbol workaround
by David Munger 23 Feb '04

23 Feb '04

Hi all, I've just found a little workaround for using boldsymbols. It works even with the nath module. It's probably not the best way of doing it, but since it does the trick for me, I guess it might useful to other ConTeXters. Here it is: \define[1]\boldsymbol{{\hbox{\formula{\bfm #1}}}} I also have to: \definebodyfont [17.3pt,14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt] [mm] [mrbf=cmbx10 sa 1, exbf=cmex10 sa 1, mibf=cmmib10 sa 1, sybf=cmbsy10 sa 1, mabf=msam10 sa 1] \setupformulae[method=bold] Then, I may define very handy commands like \define\grad{\boldsymbol{\nabla}} \define[1]\vec{\boldsymbol{#1}} \define[1]\unitvec{\hat{\vec{#1}}} and formulas like this typeset perfectly: \[ \grad h = a \unitvec{n} \]

XY arrangement
by Willi Egger 23 Feb '04

23 Feb '04

Hi Hans, I should print on a sheet of etiquettes made by Avery. The topspace as the bottomspace is 15 mm the left and right non printable area is 7 mm. On the rest of the printing area there are 21 etiquettes with a horizontal distance of 3mm. There is no vertical gap in the columns of etiquettes. I setup the XY arrangement. The etiquettes look o.k. The problem is, that Context ignores the topspace and backspace as setup in \setuppaper. For your reference I add a minimal example. Could you please have a look why the mentioned parameters are ignored?

Two questions about \subject vs \section
by Duncan Hothersall 23 Feb '04

23 Feb '04

Hello all. I have a series of documents which use \section to create a numbered heading and \subject to create an unnumbered one. I would like the unnumbered headings (the \subjects) to do put the titles in the running heads and in the tables of contents, like the \sections do. I have experimented with \setuphead but can't see how this can be done? A related question which might help me answer the first - where would I find the default settings for things like \chapter and \subject, so that I can see how they are originally set up and therefore how to make them behave differently? The tex/context/base/*.tex files don't seem to contain \definehead commands for these, so I assume they must be done in a different way internally? Thanks for any help. Duncan dh(a)capdm.com
