(1) Setting top/header texts and (2) stopping page breaks
by Lazycode 13 Jan '03

13 Jan '03

Greetings! I've recently ran into two trivial tasks that I can't seem to get ConTeXt to do. If someone could (1) point out my mistakes or (2) point me to the peoper documentation, it would be very helpful and much apperciated. Task 1: Setting up Top/Header texts. I want to have a _multiline_ header. I tried using \setheadertexts and \settoptexts. Both _ignored_ the use of "\\" to break lines, and complained when I used \par. It looks like I can only have single line headers. I want something as follows: (best viewed with fixed width font) --------------------------------------------------- | Document Title Document Author | | ConTeXted On Document Version | | Section Number Chapter Number | --------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | Actual Text | | | | | | | | | I believe I know how to do the rest. Currently, I need to know how to do multi-line header/top texts. Task 2: Preventing annoying page breaks. I'm using the \setuphead from page 5 of the context manual. It reads as follows: \setuphead [myheader] [ -some unimportant stuff snipped out- before=\hairline\blank after=\nowhitespace\hairline] Once in a while, a page break occurs between the actual text and one of these two hairlines. I've tried: * before=\hariline\page[no]\blank * before=\hariline\blank\page[no] and * after=\page[no]\nowhitespace\hairline None of the above works. Any information, including a random command to learn and try, would be very helpful. Thanks in advance, --tk

combinations and captions
by fiëé visuëlle 13 Jan '03

13 Jan '03

I wonder, why \setupcaptions doesn't work with combinations: \setupcaptions[number=no, style={\tfx\ss}, align=right] \setupcombinations[width=fit, align=right, style={\tfx\ss}] \placefigure[]{none}% {\startcombination[2] {\externalfigure[hammarskjoeld]}{Dag Hammarskjöld} {\externalfigure[kofi-dhf-grab]}{Kofi Annan am Grabe Dag Hammarskjölds} \stopcombination} "style" in \setupcombinations doesn't work, and it isn't inherited from \setupcaptions either. "align" would be superfluous in \setupcombinations, if a combination's subcaptions would use the \setupcaptions settings. Otherwise (less logical) \setupcombinations should support "style". Or is it my fault? Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- www.fiee.net/texnique/ www.ramm.ch/context/

Weird frame with framedtext
by varheit＠gmx.de 12 Jan '03

12 Jan '03

Dear ConTeXt users, I have some trouble with the document below. It uses framing for some text blocks to make them stand out. In some cases (as with this document) a float preceding the framed text will be framed too. I am using the stable version (2002/12/02), the current beta does not process the document at all (seems to be some problem with \startfiguretext, I think this was discussed earlier). Does anybody know how to fix this strange behaviour?

Row spacing in tables
by mari.voipio＠iki.fi 12 Jan '03

12 Jan '03

As the TABLE manual is not very easily available (and may be not even applicable here), I hope that somebody can answer to my question... I had to make a floating table. After a good deal of investigation in the Beginner's Manual and the list archives I've gotten everything else into place but the row spacing. My table (shortened version) is built like this: \setuptables[bodyfont={9pt,ss},distance=small] \placetable[here,force][table:specs]{Specifications} \starttable[|l|lw(8cm)|l|] \HL \VL \bf Abbrev. \VL \bf Product name \VL \bf Code \VL \SR \HL \VL bog. \VL Bogus text for testing \VL -X \VL \SR \HL \VL bog. \VL Bogus text for testing \VL -X \VL \FR \VL bog. \VL Bogus text for testing \VL -X \VL \LR \HL \VL bog. \VL Bogus text for testing \VL -X \VL \FR \VL bog. \VL Bogus text for testing \VL -X \VL \MR \VL bog. \VL Bogus text for testing \VL -X \VL \LR \HL \stoptable I managed to make the lines come somewhat tighter together by \setuptables[distance=small] but they are not close enough. I tried replacing \MR with \NR and other variants thereof, but that wasn't really a satisfying solution. So, how do I tell my ConTeXt how small I want "distance=small" to be (without affecting the text in the document)? The only document setting that may affect this is \setupwhitespace[medium]; in connection with this I've tried the commands \startpacked, \stoppacked and \nowhitespace, \whitespace (probably real dumb anyway), neither of them worked. Any help will be appreciated, Mari Voipio PS. Any easy way to color/shade a table cell/row?

Font problem with ConTeXt
by cohsb＠gmx.de 11 Jan '03

11 Jan '03

Hi all, after trying to solve the problem myself for several hours, I now seek your help. I'm trying to typeset a document in Times-Roman, the plain one. I did that with Context 2 years ago just by saying \setupbodyfont[pos], if I remember right. But this time, it does not work. See the the output below. Interestingly, I get the same result both on MikTeX and on SuSE Linux 8.1. - pdftex.cfg is in place and contains a reference to pdftex.map - pdftex.map is in place and contains Times-Roman and associated fonts, but I can't see if this file is sourced - the big document I'll produce is typeset correctly using Computer Modern fonts - the test document (just one line, with no environment except the setupbodyfond command) makes trouble as well - the Times-Roman font as well as others work correctly in TeX and LaTeX I'd really be happy if someone has an idea. Many thanks in advance, Cheers, Chris.

Euler's numerals
by Adam Lindsay 10 Jan '03

10 Jan '03

Hi all. I'm trying to get the euler math font to work right. It simply won't display the numerals 0-9 correctly--they get picked up from computer modern instead. What follows is a minimal test file, showing that at least one other glyph seems not to be correctly picked up from math-eul, either. I know I must be missing something, somewhere, but I've experimented all over the place to no avail. thanks in advance, adam -snip- ---- \setupbodyfont[eul,12pt] \starttext 129 is the text number\crlf $129 \Rightarrow \int n+(a+b)/ \aleph$\crlf I should see \getglyph{eurm10}{\char57} as nine, and \getglyph{eusm10}{\char64} as aleph. Now if I do showmathtoken, I get: \showmathtoken{aleph}...which is confusing, because the collection seems right, but the visualisation of the glyph seems wrong. \stoptext -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Adam Lindsay +44(0)1524 594 537 atl(a)comp.lancs.ac.uk http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/users/atl/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Announce: etexshow, texshow for emacs
by Patrick Gundlach 09 Jan '03

09 Jan '03

Dear ConTeXt hakers, I am happy to announce the very first version of etexshow, a texshow clone for my favorite os: emacs. You can download it from http://levana.de/emacs/etexshow/etexshow.tgz If you are fast enough, you can smell the fresh, oven-warm bytes of the new tgz-archive. It is rather small (something around 30 k). See inside etexshow.el for info. This has been tested under emacs 21.* on Linux and MacOS X. Since this is an alpha version, there are some minor problems. See file todo. Patrick

Wrong bookmarking, please help

something new, user-interfacing to context
by Hans Hagen 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Hi, I uploaded a first version of the lightweight eXaMpLe framework. Think of a user interface to: - interactive page imposition (more extensive than texexec, including test bed; more documentation will follow) - an interface to pstopdf, a script on top of ghostscript, which provides a couple of goodies. Processes like these are driven bij xml-data streams and handled by a service on localhost (more extensive distributed processing is under construction). The example things are distributed in a separate zip: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-tmf.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-exa.zip you can unzip both in your local tree and generate formats as usual. If you launch .../context/examplap/gui/examplap.pdf and browse a bit around, you'll get an idea what is happening. In order for it to really work, a couple of things are needed: (1) you need to install ruby and have ruby in your bin path (2) you need to launch exampler.rb --continue more can be found in http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/ex-gui.pdf There will be a lot more, for instance interfaces to the figure library, correspondence, etc. The low level things are under construction, so don't start building on it yourself before eximple.pdf and example.pdf go public (manuals). I tested in with fptex/windows; later i will make it miktex ready (waiting for input from mr bigfoot); linux works here, but probably also needs some work.

a recent change in double-sided pagination?
by Bill McClain 30 Dec '02

30 Dec '02

It seems that the behaviour of \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] has changed in the last couple of months. Jobs that once correctly produced an even count of pages now produce an odd count. In viewing a two-page spread in Acrobat, the first page is correctly a right-hand page, but the last page is a bogus one, also a right-hand page. The document should end on the left. I'm using ConTeXt ver: 2002.12.20 from the beta download page. -Bill -- Sattre Press Curiosities of the Sky http://sattre-press.com/ by Garrett Serviss info(a)sattre-press.com http://csky.sattre-press.com/

typescripts, bodyfonts, hanging puncuation
by Bill McClain 27 Dec '02

27 Dec '02

I need a clue, please. I don't understand the relation between typescripts for font definitions and bodyfonts or bodyfontenvironments. I began with typescripts when I started using Context and never learned much about the underlying mechanism. I've studied "Fonts in Context" (mfonts.pdf), but I still don't get it. I define typescripts for my fonts. They have no size specification. I understand that when I declare something like: \definetypeface [Sabon] [rm] [serif] [sabon] [default] [encoding=texnansi] that typescript "[serif] [default] [size]" in type-siz.tex will be used for the size info, but I don't know what that gets me. That typescript has: \definebodyfont [4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,11pt,12pt,14.4pt,17.3pt] [rm] [default] I don't know what that list of sizes means. I can use \setupbodyfont and \switchtobodyfont to specify any arbitary full or fractional point size and all works well. But: now and then I hit a problem which is caused by missing definitions of some sort. For example, the hanging punctuation in this job: \usetypescriptfile[type-sabon] \usetypescript [serif] [hanging] [sabon] \usetypescript[Sabon] \setupbodyfont[Sabon,9pt] \setupalign[hanging] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth \input tufte } \par \stoptext Note that I have the typescript "[serif] [hanging] [sabon]" and it declares the hanging parameters. With 9pt: no hanging. But it does work if I specify 12pt, 10pt, 8pt, or even 9.1pt. What is special about 9pt? I presume I should be specifying size info somewhere, but I don't what or where. -Bill -- Sattre Press The King in Yellow http://sattre-press.com/ by Robert W.

DocbookInContext: new version uploaded
by Simon Pepping 23 Dec '02

23 Dec '02

Hi, I have uploaded a new version of DocbookInContext. This version has an implementation of blockquote, epigraph and attribution. After the long thread on customization on this list, I dived into Context's customization API. I have succeeded to use it and enable customization for blockquote, epigraph and attribution. See the file Customization.xml for details. This does not include the type of customization for attribute values, that was also discussed on this list. That would require much more work, so I put it on some stack. :-) You can find DocbookInContext at http://www.hobby.nl/~scaprea/context/.

University of Twente mirror down

Hi ConTeXt fans, Due to maintainance, the University of Twente mirror was brought down. The whole machine will be upgraded to apache 2.0.43 and the latest linux stuff. All hardware will be upgraded, and the new machine setup will be more fault-tolerant, since it is a clustered linux solution. I will try to bring it up before christmas, and since my boss encouraged me not to make any more hours this year for the University, I am pretty confident it will work....

I had a look at lang-ger.tex and it seems to need a update for the swedish language in the setuphead names. \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!tabellen=Tabellen] should be \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!tabellen=Tabeller] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!figuren=Figuren] should be \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!figuren=Figurer] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!grafieken=Grafiskt] should be \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!grafieken=Grafik] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!intermezzos=Intermezzot] should be (I think) \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!intermezzos=Intermezzon] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!index=Index] should be \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!index=Sakregister] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!afkortingen=F\oumlaut rkortningen] should be \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!afkortingen=F\oumlaut rkortningar] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!logos=Logo] should be (I think) \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!logos=Loggor] \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!eenheden=Enheten] should be \setupheadtext [\s!sv] [\v!eenheden=Enheter] \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!grafiek=Grafisk ] should be \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!grafiek=Grafik ] \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!regels=raden ] should be \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!regels=rader ] Then there were also some things that didn't have any swedish parts: \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!pagina=Sida ] \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!oppagina=p\aring\ sida ] \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!hierboven=se ovan] \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!hieronder=se nedan] \setuplabeltext [\s!sv] [\v!zie=se ] That was all I guess. I hope this makes sense, so I'm not looking in an obsolete file or something like that (I started learn ConTeXt just a week ago...). I also have some questions: 1) When I want to load swedish (so I get Innehållsförteckning instead of Contents and so on), how do I do? I read the manaual, but I didn't really understood how to do. I have tried this: * run texexec --lang sv en and then * \language[sv] in the file * \installlanguage[sv] But no luck. 2) Is there a way to make multiple pdf files output from one file. Say, I want to get one pdf for every page I have. (The reason I want this, is that I want to typeset some pictures in ConTeXt and then include them in my LaTeX project. I don't want to "convert" my LaTeX project (about 200 pages) into ConTeXt) So, what I want is something like: \starttext \startpdfpage[picture1] Stuff that will appear in picture1.pdf \stoppdfpage \startpdfpage[picture2] Stuff that will appear in picture2.pdf \stoppdfpage . . . \stoptext =========== Since this is my first post, I would also like to thank you for making ConTeXt available for free. If I could help with some swedish tranlations or similar I would be glad to. Regards, Mikael Persson

Problem with figuretext in recent betas
by Michael Guravage 21 Dec '02

I have encountered a problem while compiling a document with figuretext; I have attached a small example that demonstrates the problem, and its accompanying log file. The problem occurs in the current beta: 2002.12.17, and the beta from 2002.12.01. The problem does not occur in the beta from 2002.10.23. Though it's only a minor annoyance, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Michael
