Avoiding ligatures by "| crashes TOC
by Steffen Wolfrum 07 Dec '03

07 Dec '03

Hi, I want to avoid wrong ligatures by using "| at the specific points. But this doesn't work with headings, resp.with the table of contents (see error log below). Using \/ instead of "| is no alternativ as it looks too close to ligatures. Does anybody know a workaround for this problem? Thank you, Steffen LOG: ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \bookmarktext \doPDFbookmark ... count \ifcase #5-\fi #2 \fi {#3 } \doPDFinsertbookmark ... \scratchcounter } open #5 \egroup <argument> \flushbookmark \dodoputbookmarkelement {EbeneDrei}{6}{2.1}{Auftr\... \secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2 l.129 ...nenarchitektur}{1::0:I:2:1:0:0:0::14}{14} ?

Hi, while desperately working on footnote markers I found this email from 9 months ago. Is there in the meanwhile some news for a kind of "\setupfootnotemarker"?

Floats in Columnsets
by Reimer Behrends 07 Dec '03

07 Dec '03

It appears as though \placefigure doesn't work very well with columnsets if the size of the floats isn't an exact multiple of the underlying grid. More precisely, \placefigure and friends, when used with any of the *tb and tb* options (tblr, tbrl, lrtb, rltb, fxtb) snap the bottom of the figure to the grid rather than the top. Of course, that means that most of the time figures will not be aligned at the top. (See below for an example.) Does anybody know of a fix or workaround for this problem? Reimer Behrends \showframe \showgrid \setuplayout[ backspace=0.75in,topspace=0.75in, width=7.0in,height=9.5in, header=0.0in,footer=0.35in] \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \definecolumnset[two][n=2,distance=12pt] \def\myfig#1{\placefigure[tblr]{none}{ \framed[offset=6pt,width=broad,align=right]{ \switchtobodyfont[10pt] #1 }}} \setupbodyfont[12pt] \starttext \startcolumnset[two] \myfig{\input knuth} \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth}\myfig{\input tufte} \stopcolumnset \stoptext

spanish

Hi to all! I am new to ConTeXt and list and i want to stay for log! I have been rading lang-ita.tex and I see some error. I have post in comp.text.tex and Giuseppe Bilotta has sugest to send a patch to this list. I don't know how can i send the patch (a diff output is enough). What is an intermezzo for? I don't know if the traslation is ok. I'm also interested in adding basque language. Basque is not a romance language, but the typesetting is very similar to spanish. Some differences: 1) Instead of Chpater 1 -- in basque ---> 1 Kapitulua (Chapter) 2) When hypenating a compound word in the hypen, in the next line a hypen is also necesary anai-arrebak is hypendated anai- -arrebak 2) What files have i to change to add support for basque? Thanks in advance Zunbeltz

pdf output problem

Hi list, i found some strange effect with the Chart environment. This is part of a larger flowchart. \startFLOWcell \location {1,6} \name {end-auftrag} \shape {5} \text {DB freigeben ;\\ return 1;\\} \stopFLOWcell $ texexec --output=test --pdf modem.tex The resulting pdf file is missing the 1 from \text {DB freigeben ;\\ return 1;} changing 1 into 0 shows a 0. if i produce a dvi instead it works fine. any ideas ? walter ps: dvi has its own problem by writing the text and then filling the area :)

Recommendation for creating, XHTML and PDF versions of single document
by Frank 04 Dec '03

04 Dec '03

Hi, I have been very happy to use ConTeXt and LaTeX to create documents for printed media or onscreen PDF. Currently I am working with some documents that I want to publish in XHTML and PDF (print and screen). What would be the best way to achieve this? - Write in ConTeXt and convert it to XHTML - Write in some XML format like docbook and convert that to XHTML and PDF? I am leaning toward authoring in XML as it is the most flexible, but it is also very verbose and probably requires much more effort in the toolchain to create the output format's I want. Please let me know your experiences and recommendations. Best Regards, Frank

Hello, I didn't find a way to put text at specific locations on the page. It must be something obvious! :-) I try to design a screen document where every notes are, say, typeset on the lower half of the page and appear only when clicking on their number in the text (with layers I think). Thnaks in advance, Gilles. PS for Hans: I didn't forget the note problem we've discussed in Mâcon. I'll build a test file.

Hi patrick, just to explain WHY i got confused. I was looking at knuth.tex as a simple example. An *this* example contains no \startX or \stopX . So i got the impression that contex may not need them. And when you see the examples in "typesetting flow charts" no hint either. It would enought to add \starttext \FLOWchart[grid] \stoptext on page 2. Then you have a (working) example; problem solved. btw: any document describing something should have a complet working example. when you start with something totaly new, you have no ide where to look for an error. a simple typo can cause havoc distracing you from the real problem. regards, wh - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Original Message - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From: Patrick Gundlach <pg(a)levana.de> Subject: [NTG-context] Re: installing context with tetex Date: 12/01/03 16:27 Hello Walter, > thats it :) > i was unaware of the \starttext \stoptext :( You should alway start with a simple document and then extend it. > > Hallo hans ? > can you please adjust the "typesetting.." document ?
