Splitting (x)tables
by Andreas Harder 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Hi all, I think there is a bug with \placefloat and split option. \starttext \showframe[text] \setupxtable [split=yes,option=stretch, width=4cm,height=3cm, align={middle,middle}] \startbuffer \startxtable \dorecurse{15}{% \startxrow \dorecurse{5}{\startxcell cell: #1 x ##1 \stopxcell} \stopxrow} \stopxtable \stopbuffer % \getbuffer % OK \placetable[here,split]{A big table}{\getbuffer} \stoptext By the way, what is the analogous split-option name if one uses the \start- \stopplacetable syntax? Regards Andreas

first-setup.sh patch
by frantisek holop 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

hi there, here is a simple patch for first-setup.sh in a nutshell: - removed the first check for ruby. the same check is performed at the end of the install process again, and IMHO it is a much better place to show some reminders to the user after many screenfuls of rsync flew by. - a low hanging optimisation for setting platform= - moved the platform overriding above the platform == unknown check because just uncommenting the line will not work, the script will exit a couple lines above - if the uknown platform is considered an "Error", exit should return non-zero :] have a nice day -f -- a self-addressed envelope would be addressed "envelope"

Hi, I uploaded a new beta, mostly for testing the xml export and Alan's figure list issue. I cleaned up some of the float code (removing some related mkii code in the process) but more will follow.

Background using Image Overlay
by Syed N Haider 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Hi All I am new to the Metapost and Context world, and need some help regarding the inclusion of Metapost graphics in ConTeXt documents. I am trying a very simple approach, using a graphic as a background. Here's my sample (using a very basic metapost graphic as a page background in a document): Metapost: ======== beginfig(0); theta := 360/7; radius := 1in; z0 = origin; z1 = z0 + dir(90)*radius; z2 = z0 + dir(90 + theta)*radius; z3 = z0 + dir(90 + 2*theta)*radius; z4 = z0 + dir(90 + 3*theta)*radius; z5 = z0 + dir(90 + 4*theta)*radius; z6 = z0 + dir(90 + 5*theta)*radius; z7 = z0 + dir(90 + 6*theta)*radius; draw z1 -- z2 -- z3 -- z4 -- z5 -- z6 -- z7 -- cycle; endfig; end; ConTeXt (after running mpost on the metapost graphic to generate the hexagon.0 file): ===================================================================== \defineoverlay [backg] [{\externalfigure[hexagon.0][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]}] \starttext \noheaderandfooterlines \setupbackgrounds[page][background=backg] %\placefigure %{none} %{\externalfigure[hexagon.0][width=12cm]} \stoptext Thanks in advance Syed

defineselector

Hi, One can select between short and long figure captions (for an index of figures and the figure display itself, respectively) using a selector. The syntax is: \defineselector [caption] [max=2,n=2] % alternate {short}{long} captions \starttext \placefigure [here] [fig:reference] {\select{caption} {short caption} {long caption: bla, bla, bla.} } {\externalfigure [myfigure]} ... \startchapter [title={Figure index}] \setupselector [caption] [n=1] \placelistoffigures [criterium=all] \stopchapter \stoptext I find "\select{caption}" to be awkward as the label caption is not typeset (the convention of text between {}). Should not the syntax be rather "\select[caption]{short}{long}" or else "\selectcaption{short}{long}"? What do the experts think? Alan

Zoom image in presentation

Hello all, I'd like to be able to zoom an image during a presentation. My thinking is that it might be possible by turning layers on and off interactively. I see in this message: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20110426.183109.fc46c5a5.en.html that Hans said (enigmatically :-)) "And then there are viewerlayers (acrobat) that you can turn on and off with \goto{On}[VideLayer{mylayer}] but that's a different topic." Any hints on how I could do this? I'm using the latest standalone, installed yesterday. Thanks, Roger

Modifying potrusion parameters
by Simonyi András 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Dear ConTeXt-ers, I am using protrusion and char. expansion for a book project (with MKIV from the latest ConTeXt minimal), and it works wonderfully, with the exception of a minor problem: I find the preset protrusion parameters for "guillemets" (double angle quotes) which occur frequently in my (Italian) text too large, and would like to modify them. Relying on the wiki and mailing-list posts, I realised that the parameters are set in the file font-ext.lua, but changing this file seems to have no effect on the typesetting. How should I rebuild/recompile ConTeXt in order to "apply" my changes? I am a novice ConTeXt user, so please forgive me if my question is trivial. Thanks in advance for your help and best wishes, András Simonyi, Budapest, Hungary

languagespecifics

Hello, Is there something like \startlanguagespecifics[fr] ... \stoplanguagespecifics in mkiv? Does it make sense, to keep the module t-french.tex? I would like to integrate \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] everywhere (text, headers, footers and so on), but when a user loads the module and changes settings for headers or footers afterwards, that setting would be overwritten. Thus, if there are no methods, to do such things, I would drop the module and french specific settings have to be set up on a per document basis. What do you think? -- Peter

Deleting symb-uni-zapf solved the problem. (There were at least two of these locked folders in my system, both a nuisance in this respect.)

Hi all, it sound strange but how do I get a TOC where only the sections are placed but not the subsections? The document contains exclusively sections and subsections. With \placecontent[level=section] I get as well the sections as also the subsections. Looking at examples on the wiki I think this should be the right command? Kind regards Willi

Problems with linespacing
by Jan Heinen 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

I can't find what I am doing wrong in my tex-file. 1. I have little problems with the linespacing when I use big fontsizes. The text looks uneasy. Here you can see the problem ... (1) and (2) on the image http://www.imagebanana.com/view/bipcpje7/Linespacing.png And why does (3) runs to the right end of the page? ... and here my tex-file: \definefont[Gross] [name:allerlight at 36pt] \starttext \Gross Ich bin Blindtext. Von Geburt an. Es hat lange gedauert, bis ich begriffen habe, was es bedeutet, ein blinder Text zu wer wer wer wer wer wer wer wer wer wer wer keinen Sinn. Man wirkt hier und da aus dem Zusammenhang gerissen. Oft wird man gar nicht erst gelesen. Aber bin ich deshalb ein schlechter Text? Ich weiss, dass ich nie die Chance haben werde, im Stern zu erscheinen. \stoptext 2. And using a very small fontsize, eg. 8pt the linespacing looks to be the same in every line but it is to big. 3. What is to do to have only a small linespacing in a paragraph and a bigger linespacing after a break and then again a small linespacing in the next paragraph, and so on. And I don't want to put \blank after a paragraph. --------- ------- --------- -- -------- --------- ---------- --------- ------- ----- ------- -- Regards Jannis

Odd column break - how to avoid?
by Alasdair McAndrew 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hello, In a two column document I'm preparing, I have a column break in a very odd place. The column just stops, and the document material just begins in the next column, leaving a lot of white space. I've no idea what's causing this, and I've tried to avoid it, but nothing I do seems to work. Is there any way of forcing a column not to break? Thanks, Alasdair

This was just a example to demonstrate the “insidesection” key to add something after the heading. When you want to use it only one time the above is overkill but it’s useful when you want a epigraph for each chapter. With \doifelsebuffer I can check if there the user set a epigraph and only when there is one i want the framedtext but I have to reset the buffer for the next chapter. > Would it not be better (or more logical, in fact) to simply use: > > \setupframedtext [frame=off,offset=none,width=.5\textwidth, > foregroundstyle=\itx] > % I did not check, but I imagine that this works... > > \starttitle [title=This is a heading with an epigraph below] > > \startframedtext [right] > \input ward > \stopframedtext > > > Of course, one could (and probably should) define a special sort > of framed text? > I don't remember the proper syntax for this, though. How is a framedtext more logical than a dictum or epigraph environment, with my solution you can also change the definition of the code to place the epigraph format without any change in the text while your framed text is always a framedtext (I know you can avoid this with a named framedtext) and changes to the layout require more work. > I am interested, as in one of my documents, I do something like this > (without any special typesetting, for the moment) stupidly as: > > \def\sectionbis#1{{\it #1}\blank} > > \startsection [title=Section title] > > \sectionbis{\input ward} > > \input tufte \definestartstop[sectionbis][style=italic,inbetween=\blank] Wolfgang

Dear context garden administrators (and users): It would be a good idea to have a wiki.contextgarden.net/News page containing an archive of past and present news. Clicking on the "News" label on the Main_Page could go there. Examples of items to include could be: July 2011: TeX Live 2011 released, including current ConTeXt September 2011: First general assembly of the ConTeXt user's group (in Bassenge, Belgium during the 5th International ConTeXt User Meeting) November 2011: Deadline for contributions to the proceedings of the 5th International ConTeXt User Meeting, to appear in the first issue of the ConTeXt User Journal. November 2011: Migration of contextgarden.net to new servers. etc. Should this new page be generally editable, or should it be administered? Alan

Hello world title not flush left - beginner question?
by Grant William (ST-CO/ENG3.11) 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hi all, I am a novice user of latex and have always wanted to have more control over how things look and are set up. Context is perfect! But now I am stuck on a frustrating bug I can't seem to figure out. Maybe this is not a bug at all... Nontheless, in the Hello World http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Hello_world example page, upon building my own version and looking closely, the title text is not lined up to the left edge of the text area, whereas the following line for the A. U. Thor is flushed over correctly. The example pdf on the page is like this as well, but when I turn on \showframe and look at in on my computer, the offset is just screaming at me! I can't seem to figure out what portion of the \setuphead[title] code is causing this. Is this a bug or what is going on here? Thanks. William Grant

beta
by Hans Hagen 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. The biggest new thing is that there is yet another table mechanism: extreme tables. There is a manual too: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xtables-mkiv.pdf It says in the introduction: >> This is a short introduction to yet another table mechanism built in \CONTEXT. It is a variant of the so called natural tables but it has a different configuration. Also, the implementation is completely different. The reason for writing it is that in one of our projects we had to write styles for documents that had tables spanning 30 or more pages and apart from memory constraints this is quite a challenge for the other mechanisms, if only because splitting them into successive floats is not possible due to limitations of \TEX. The extreme table mechanism can handle pretty large tables and split them too. As each cell is basically a \type {\framed} and as we need to do two passes over the table, this mechanism is not the fastest but it is some two times faster than the natural tables mechanism, and in most cases can be used instead. << There will probably a few additions but it's already pretty complete.
