How to prevent line split in typing block when using custom command?
by Vladimir Lomov 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hi. Consider the following two example files: --------------------------------- 8< -------------------------------- <file name="exa-feat1.tex"> \setupbackend[export=yes] \definetyping[EXAMPLE][escape=yes] \starttext This is an example with \quotation{long} verbatim text. Why context complians? Is there a method to process this file? \startEXAMPLE This is a short verbatim line This this this this this this very very very very very very long long long long long long line line line line line line \stopEXAMPLE \stoptext </file> --------------------------------- 8< -------------------------------- <file name="exa-feat3.tex"> \setupbackend[export=yes] \definetyping[EXAMPLE][escape=yes] \definestartstop[important][style=bold] \starttext This is an example with \quotation{long} verbatim text. Why context fail to compile this example? Is there a method to process it? \startEXAMPLE This is a short verbatim line This this this this this this very very very very very very /BTEX\important{long long long long}/ETEX long long line line line line line line \stopEXAMPLE \stoptext </file> --------------------------------- 8< -------------------------------- In first case the long line is not splitted, in second case the line is splitted. How to prevent line splitting? --- TIA, Vladimir Lomov -- Q: How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb?

Problem with installing ConTeXt
by Cecil Westerhof 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

I am still struggling to get ConTeXt running under Windows. At home where (when I work with Windows) I work with Vista it worked. At the company they use XP. I did the same as I did at home, but now I get error messages about configuration files that can not be found in the non existing directory c:\contextminimal. I installed ConTeXt in c:\context. Is it possible that something changed since yesterday? The way I try to couple ConTeXt and TeXworks is described in the following document: http://www.decebal.nl/ConTeXtManual.pdf -- Cecil Westerhof

Line length limitation of typing block?
by Vladimir Lomov 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hi. Please consider the following two examples: <file name="exa-feat1.tex"> \setupbackend[export=yes] \definetyping[EXAMPLE][escape=yes] \starttext This is an example with \quotation{long} verbatim text. Why context fails to compile the file? Is there a method to process this file? \startEXAMPLE This is a short verbatim line This this this this this this very very very very very very long long long long long long line line line line line line \stoptext \stoptext </file> <file name="exa-feat2.tex"> \setupbackend[export=yes] \definetyping[EXAMPLE][escape=yes] \starttext This is an example with \quotation{long} verbatim text. The version without buffer fails. \startbuffer[ex1] This is a short verbatim line This this this this this this very very very very very very long long long long long long line line line line line line \stopbuffer \startEXAMPLE /BTEX\getbuffer[ex1]/ETEX \stopEXAMPLE \stoptext </file> context (mkiv) fails to compile first file (error: <output name="exa-feat1.tex"> Runaway argument?

The second example compiles well but the long is splitted. How to avoid this? (Adding ',space=fixed' to '\definetyping' doesn't help.) P.S. Sorry two questions in one topic. --- TIA, Vladimir Lomov -- "The wages of sin are death; but after they're done taking out taxes, it's just a tired feeling:"

wrong mlib process calls
by Peter Rolf 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hi, I have added the 'mtr' process in front of the normal 'tr' process. [mlib-pps.lua] ... appendaction(processoractions,"system",fg_process) appendaction(processoractions,"system",mtr_process) appendaction(processoractions,"system",tr_process) -- last, as color can be reset ... Strangely the 'mtr' process is also(!) called, if normal transparency ('tr') or text ('tx') is used. You can imagine that the 'cleanup code' has unwanted side effects here. :-) A change of the 'appendaction' order has no impact. I simply added commands.writestatus('mtr_process',table.serialize(prescript)) at the start of mtr_process and this is what I get for the attached example: mtr_process > t={ { "tr_transparency", "0.5" }, { "tr_alternative", "1" }, ["tr_alternative"]="1", ["tr_transparency"]="0.5", } mtr_process > t={ { "tr_transparency", "0.5" }, { "tr_alternative", "1" }, ["tr_alternative"]="1", ["tr_transparency"]="0.5", } mtr_process > t={ { "tx_stage", "final" }, { "tx_number", "1" }, ["tx_number"]="1", ["tx_stage"]="final", } Any ideas what goes wrong here?

Why is the \crlf needed to display the table correctly
by Cecil Westerhof 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

On of the things I need to do for the manual about ConTeXt is a list of the most frequently used commands. I am using some macros to display them correctly in a table. Attached a strange effect I got. The second row is displayed wrongly. The third is the same row, but with a \crlf added. This displays correctly. But I am wondering why it is needed. Attached the tex and pdf files. -- Cecil Westerhof

Missing font switch in 'export=yes'
by Vladimir Lomov 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hi. Consider the following example: <file name="feat1.tex"> \setupbackend[export=yes] \starttext \definetyping[EXAMPLE][escape=yes] This is a small example. See the backend output (export file). How to put a word in the example between tags? \startEXAMPLE Here we go /BTEX\bold{AGAIN}/ETEX \stopEXAMPLE \stoptext </file> The 'AGAIN' in PDF file created by 'context' is bold but in 'feat1.export' file the word isn't placed between any tag. Should I use some special command in order to put 'AGAIN' between apropriate tags? -- Bradley's Bromide: If computers get too powerful, we can organize them into a committee -- that will do them in.

Footnote numbering pro page

I would like my footnote numbering start on every page with 1. I thought this should be done with: \setupnote[footnote][way=bypage] I also tried: \setupnotedefinition[footnote][indenting={yes, small, next}, way=bypage] But both do not work. What is the right way to do it? -- Cecil Westerhof

Use latest or current version
by Cecil Westerhof 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

I work 'always' with the latest version of ConTeXt. Now a client is going to use it. Should I install for them also the latest version, or is it better to use the current version (--context=current)? -- Cecil Westerhof

List of special characters
by Cecil Westerhof 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

While writing the documentation about using ConTeXt I need some 'special' characters. A few I have found, for example \%, \backslash, \texttilde, \percent. But until now I did not find how to represent [ and ]. How would I use those characters in my document? Also: is there somewhere a 'complete' list? I found several, but they where all for LaTeX and are not completely the same. For example LaTeX uses \textbackslash which does not work in ConTeXt which uses \backslash. -- Cecil Westerhof

mlib plugin question
by Peter Rolf 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi, I use a mlib plugin to manually start/stop transparency. All graphics in between will be drawn with the defined state. Not very useful in general, but I need it for some graphics in Aero. This is the simple code.. MP side: def btransp(expr a, t) = draw origin withprescript "mtr_transp=start" withprescript "mtr_alternative=" & decimal a withprescript "mtr_transparency=" & decimal t ; enddef ; def etransp = draw origin withprescript "mtr_transp=stop" ; enddef ; TEX side: local function mtr_process(object,prescript,before,after) local mtr_alternative = prescript.mtr_alternative if prescript.mtr_transp == "start" then if mtr_alternative then mtr_alternative = tonumber(mtr_alternative) local mtr_transparency = tonumber(prescript.mtr_transparency) before[#before+1] = format("q /Tr%s gs %% mtr",registertransparency(nil,mtr_alternative,mtr_transparency,true)) end elseif prescript.mtr_transp == "stop" then after[#after+1] = "Q % mtr" else -- fatal error end -- object.path = true -- 'true' gives runtime error, 'false' distorts content object.grouped = true object.type = false -- don't draw object.color = false end Usage: btransp(normaltransparency,.5); <whatever> etransp; This works so far (no visible artefacts), but part of the 'draw origin' is (although not drawn) still existent in the code. [..] q /Tr1 gs % mtr 10.000000 M % unwanted setup for 'origin' 1 j 1 J 0.500000 w 0.000000 0.000000 m 0.000000 0.000000 l <whatever> 10.000000 M % unwanted setup for 'origin' 1 j 1 J 0.500000 w 0.000000 0.000000 m 0.000000 0.000000 l Q % mtr [..] I had a solution for the old 'specials', but I can't find one for the plugin handler. How can I get rid of the 'trigger code'? Peter

Indenting in footnotes

Formatting lines in TeXworks and using spellchecking
by Cecil Westerhof 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Until now I worked with Emacs to edit ConTeXt documents. Because I have to make a manual for the client, I now work under Windows with TeXworks. In Emacs I could easily reformat my (source) lines, to be not wider as 72 characters. Is something like that possible with TeXworks. Also: there is a spell-checking option, bet there are no languages to choose from. How can I install languages? -- Cecil Westerhof

Installing ConTeXt in Windows (XP)

15 Aug '11

I like to install ConTeXt on a Windows (XP) machine (so I can make an installation manual). I use: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Installation_and_use_on_Wi… The preferable setup would be with the GUI. But when I do this. I get: update failed Error code: 1 and Make failed Error code: 1 What is happening here? I also tried (in c:\context): first-setup.bat --context=current This looks okay, but when running context I get: mtxrun | forcing cache reload resolvers | resolving | unknown configuration file 'c:/contextminimal/texm f-local/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' resolvers | resolving | unknown configuration file 'c:/contextminimal/texm f-context/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' resolvers | resolving | unknown configuration file 'c:/contextminimal/texm f/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | warning: no lua configuration files found resolvers | resolving | locating list of 'c:/contextminimal/texmf' (runtim e) resolvers | methods | resolver: method=locators, how=uri, scheme=file, arg ument=c:/contextminimal/texmf resolvers | files | file locator 'c:/contextminimal/texmf' not found resolvers | resolving | locating list of 'c:/contextminimal/texmf-local' ( runtime) resolvers | methods | resolver: method=locators, how=uri, scheme=file, arg ument=c:/contextminimal/texmf-local resolvers | files | file locator 'c:/contextminimal/texmf-local' not found resolvers | resolving | locating list of 'c:/contextminimal/texmf-context' (runtime) resolvers | methods | resolver: method=locators, how=uri, scheme=file, arg ument=c:/contextminimal/texmf-context resolvers | files | file locator 'c:/contextminimal/texmf-context' not fou nd resolvers | resolving | locating list of 'c:/contextminimal/texmf-mswin' ( runtime) resolvers | methods | resolver: method=locators, how=uri, scheme=file, arg ument=c:/contextminimal/texmf-mswin resolvers | files | file locator 'c:/contextminimal/texmf-mswin' not found resolvers | resolving | resolvers | resolving | mtxrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' resolvers | resolving | remembered file 'mtx-context.lua' resolvers | resolving | using suffix based filetype 'lua' mtxrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' So it looks like the script first-setup.bat needs some finetuning.

dejavu fonts
by Mojca Miklavec 14 Aug '11

14 Aug '11

Hello, CTAN has a new font package for dejavu fonts (http://ctan.org/pkg/dejavu) The package contains original fonts (suitable for XeTeX and LuaTeX) as well as many tfm files. The author is willing to add support for ConTeXt. In my opinion it would make more sense to support straight into the font package (like it is done for Gentium) as opposed to adding them to ConTeXt core, but I would first like to ask for opinion before sending anything to him. If nothing else I have a question. How exactly should one split "type-fontname" files in third-party font packages? ConTeXt core uses type-one.mkii (pdftex), type-one.mkiv (empty), type-otf.mkii (xetex), type-otf.mkiv (luatex), but that approach doesn't work with \usetypescript[type-name] In Gentium we used \beginOLDTEX etc., but that is suboptimal. Thank you, Mojca

Dear gang, As some of you may know, I'm working on a professional introductory book for learning ConTeXt. Part of the philosophy of this book is to be as self-contained as possible, so we'll be using a preferred editor. Not one editor/ide out there is ideal for ConTeXt (including bidi editing and other user-friendly configurability). The best balance I could find is Notepad++ (Npp), and that's what I'm going with. I have done a lot of work to contextify it, and I have added some new features, such as a context-menu where one can right-click and get a list of ConTeXt typography and description options, experimental support for tooltips (giving options for commands etc), no more manual braces (so far less run errors) etc. To take this to the next level I need help: Is there anyone on the list who knows how to write and compile lexers for scintilla-based editors? Also, how to compile C++ for M$-Windows based applications such as Npp? Npp has a rich user-defined dialog, and I have been able to do a lot with it, but it has some serious limitations. So I'd like to port my user-definitions to a lexer. We can probably start with the code for the included TeX lexer, de-latexify it, and add the needed functions for ConTeXt, including a few other features. If anyone is interested, please contact me!

I've tried: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[texgyrepagella][expansion=yes,protrusion=yes] % \definefontfeature [default] [default] [mode=node,expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] % \setupbodyfont[pagella] \setupalign[hz,hanging] \starttext \startcolumns \input tufte \stopcolumns \stoptext Greeting Andreas

Digits and exponents
by Ian Lawrence 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Morning all, I am trying to get together something for expressing physics appropriately and precisely. The \units and \lunits command and I are becoming better acquainted, but now I ma having grief with with the \digits{}. In particular, exponents don't seem to function as documented in the 'my way' and I cannot find anything more up to date on the wiki. Input: \digits 123.222,00^10 \digits 123.222,00e10 \digits /123.222,00e-12 \digits -123.222,00e-12 \digits +123.222,00e-12 Actual output: 123 222.0010 123 222.0010 123 222.00−12 −123 222.00−12 +123 222.00−12 (in each case last two digits are superscript, as their signs) Expected output 123.222,00 · 1010 123.222,00 · 1010 123.222,00 · 10−12 -123.222,00 · 10−12 +123.222,00 · 10−12 (in each case last two digits are superscript, as their signs) ???Anyone?

Conflict between fr and cyrillic
by Jean-Philippe Rey 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Hi everybody, I have an almost finished report inside which I need to typeset some russian words. I am using ConTeXt Standalone current (2011.05.18 18:04 MKII). Reading the wiki, it seems that there are no more fonts with cyrillic glyphs in this distribution. So I switched to XeTeX in order to use my system fonts. Unfortunately I stumbled into a problem when combining my fr settings with a font switching command. Here is a minimal example. \mainlanguage[fr] \useencoding[ffr] \definefontsynonym[CyrF][name:Lucida Grande] \definefont[Russian][CyrF sa 1] \starttext Quelques caractères cyrilliques {\Russian Мама и Папа} et on continue tranquillement. \stoptext If I delete either line \mainlanguage[fr] or \useencoding[ffr] everything works fine (for the font switching, but obviously not for the other part of my report :-). Below is the output when I try to compile the above example with "texexec --xtx". Could someone tell me if I am doing something wrong. Thanks.

Italicized Trailing Space

Hey list, I'm finding that when I change the formatting for some words to \it, the first letter following the ending of that formatting seems to be too close to the last italicized character.

System font handling problems in MacTeX 2011 dist
by Dr. Joel Carpio Mendoza 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Good day! Tried to typeset a document using a template I created using MacTeX 2010. Below are the font setup lines that I used: \definefont[hla][abalone at 10pt] \definefont[hlb][bigcaslon at 10pt] \definebodyfont[9pt,10pt,11pt,12pt][rm,ss,tt,mm][default] \definefontsynonym[Serif][MinionPro-Regular][encoding=utf8] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold][MinionPro-Semibold] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic][MinionPro-It] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][MinionPro-SemiboldIt] \definefontsynonym[SerifCaps][MinionPro-Medium][features=smallcaps] \definetypeface[cb][rm][serif][MinionPro-Regular][default][encoding=utf8] \setupbodyfont[rm,9pt] In MacTeX 2010 and MacTeX 2011, I have no problems typesetting text marked with \hla or \hlb. However, when it comes to the body font, I am only able to successfully typeset using the specified fonts in MacTeX 2010 but not in MacTeX 2011. What happens in MacTeX 2011 is that the body font remains the default modern latin fonts. It seems like \definefontsynonym in MacTeX 2011 does not map the specified font (e.g. MinionPro-Regular) into Serif. As is, the only way I can use system fonts in the body would be to use \definefont definitions of the desired system fonts into \tf, \bf, \it, \bi, etc. tags. Is there a way to go about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. joel mendoza

regressions in MkIV? (setupstructureblock, setuplayout[right/left])

There seem to be some instabilities in MkIV...

weird Spanish date default formatting
by Pablo Rodríguez 07 Aug '11

07 Aug '11

Hi there, compiling this minimal document: \mainlanguage[es] \starttext \currentdate\par \date \stoptext I get 7 agosto 2011 7 agosto 2011 Being a Spanish native speaker, excuse me, but I guess it makes no sense for a date. Default formatting should read: day,{ de },month,{ de },year, which would give "7 de agosto de 2011". Could you fix this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Indentation as in itemize
by Cecil Westerhof 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

When you use itemize text is neatly put under each-other. I have the folowing in a macro: \bTR \RowWorkTable{}{\bullet\space #1} \eTR When text is overflowing to the following line, the text starts under the bullet. I would like it to start under the character after the space, just like in itemize. How would I do this? As a hack I now use: \bTR \RowWorkTable{}{\startitemize \item #1 \stopitemize} \eTR This does what I want, but I do not find it very pretty. (I have also the feeling that it makes the compilation time longer.) -- Cecil Westerhof

[***SPAM***] Tried TeXLive 2011 - Failure of Mkii and Mkiv
by Michael.Urban＠jpl.nasa.gov 06 Aug '11

06 Aug '11

After running with TeXLive 2008 for some time, I decided to try the TeXLive 2011 dist and try to get 'caught up' with more recent developments. I am on a Mac, and the MacTeX distribution installed everything as expected in /usr/local. But things do not work as expected. With Mkii, doing 'texexec file.tex' on a simple file succeeds, but the result file is a .dvi file, not a .pdf file as expected. This is quite surprising, since the output indicates that pdftex is being loaded: TeXExec | processing document 'thing.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file thing.top TeXExec | using randomseed 583 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (TeX Live 2011) restricted \write18 enabled.

lpeg splitter
by Peter Rolf 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi, I'm currently trying to adapt my MP specials to the 'new' plugin handler. My actual problem is the splitting of the 'ssh_colors' string with lpeg. Sadly my knowledge about lpeg is nearly zero and it would take me a few days to understand this (my mind is already contaminated with 'regular expressions'). How do I split the 'ssh_colors' string ["ssh_colors"]="1:1:0 0.949:0.729:0 0.894:0.514:0 0.835:0.341:0 0.776:0.216:0 0.706:0.125:0 0.631:0.063:0.588 0.549:0.027:0.953 0.443:0.008:0.953 0.318:0:0.588 0:0:0", to get the single color strings (r:g:b) in say 'col[i]'? Regards, Peter

A couple of setupcaptions questions
by Jean Magnan de Bornier 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi all I'm trying to setup captions for figures with mkiv. I found this page on the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/setupnumbering Using both these: \setupcaptions[way=bysection,prefixsegments=section] \setupformulae[way=bysection,prefixsegments=section] formulae are numbered as expected but captions are not, the prefix is lacking. My next question is, how to replace the word "Figure" in the caption by another one? Sorry if these have been discussed before... Thanks, -- Jean

Full justification in a table
by Cecil Westerhof 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

I have the following code: \setupbodyfont[10pt] \starttext \input knuth \blank[2*big] \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[c][1][width=.14\textwidth] \setupTABLE[c][2][width=.87\textwidth] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD Sample \eTD \bTD \input knuth \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext The text outside the table uses full justification. I want to do the same in the table, but I did not find a way to do this. Is it possible to get full justification in a table also? -- Cecil Westerhof

Problem with table of contents? (Mark IV)
by Verhaag, G.C.H.M. 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Dear ConTeXt Users', I'm struggling with the setupcombinedlist command to finetune the table of contents of a book I'm currently writing using ConTeXt. I use the following setup command in the preamble: \setupcombinedlist [content] [level=section,width=\textwidth,alternative=g] and use the command: \completecontent[level=section] to actually generate it. When using the alternative=g option the navigation in my pdf document is completely absent, while e.g. alternative=a the navigation is working as aspected! But alternative=g also worked in Mark II! Anybody any idea? Has something changed which I missed? Regards, Gerard Verhaag P.S. I currently use: ConTeXt ver: 2011.05.16 11:00 MKIV fmt: 2011.5.16 int: english/english

texmf-local
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hello, how to "redirect" the Ctx "local" directory "c:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-local" somewere else, e.g. to "c:\Lukas\ConTeXt"? I'm looking for a way which would "survive" any occasion I update Ctx (even when I delete the whole Ctx installation directory, = "installation from scratch"), so e.g. editing a config file which would appear in Ctx installation tree doesn't seem to be the best. I would expect e.g. setting a system variable, e.g. "set TEXMFLOCAL=c:\Lukas\ConTeXt"; is there any way like this? TIA. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing.

chemic module
by Dr. Joel Carpio Mendoza 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi! I recently installed the MacTex 2011 distribution and has been trying to typeset some chemical formulas using ConTeXt MKIV (i.e. via ConTeXt (LuaTeX) engine of TeXShop). However, if I try to typeset the following \startformula \chemical{Na^+,+,Cl^-,GIVES,NaCl} \stopformula I get Na+ + Cl— GIVES NaCl (Note: The superscript "+" and "—" of the ions were correctly displayed.) But if I use \chemical{GIVES} under the \startchemical \stopchemical environment, I am able to get the left arrow that it's supposed to produce in the chemical formula environment. I know that the chemic module is already integrated in the ConTeXt MKIV but I just can't seem to do chemical typesetting the way I used to using the 2010 MacTeX distribution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. joel mendoza

Sharing color between MP and TeX
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hello, I'd need to use the same color for text and drawing inside a MP code. The typical situation looks the following way: ---- \definecolor[COL][.7red] \starttext \startMPcode label(btex \color[COL]{Some text} etex, (0, 0)); color col; col := .7red; draw unitsquare scaled .5cm withcolor col; \stopMPcode \stoptext ---- The problem is that the color must be defined twice - first as TeX's 'COL', later as MP's 'col'. As far as I know, the 'COL' must be defined inside TeX code as colored text in MP is achieved *only* by calling TeX's "btex \a-color-family-command[a-color][some-text] etex". So that's why I think the color must be defined in TeX. But how to access the TeX's color in MP? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

margin text rotated in inner margin
by Henning Hraban Ramm 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

I already asked this in april, but got no answer, and now I need it again: I need my marginals as one line, rotated in the inner margin (that works) AND ( "hanging" from its place (at the moment it’s "standing") OR aligned to the top or bottom of the text area. ) AND several marginals must not overlap. I guess I need some \framed[align=flushright], but I don't know how. \setuplayout[location=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location={footer,right},strut=yes, state=start] \setupmargindata[inmargin][style={\ss\tfx},location=inner,align=outer] \setupmarginframed[inmargin][align=outer,location=inner] \def\Info#1{\margindata[inmargin]{\rotate{\hbox[location=normal]{#1}}}} \starttext \section{Tufte} \Info{This is a text by Tufte 1} \input tufte \Info{This is a text by Tufte 2} \page \section{Knuth} \Info{This is a text by Knuth 1} \input knuth \Info{This is a text by Knuth 2} \input knuth \stoptext "This is a..." *starts* at the base line of the first word of the included text. I want it to *end* at the top of that line. Please? Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Defining frame-like commands
by Marcin Borkowski 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

Hi, I'm feeling like I'm getting close to the daily limit of posts to the list;), but I'm just learning;). I discovered that I can use \defineframed so that I can write \defineframed[myframed][frame=off,background=myoverlay] \myframed{whatever} But I'd like to have "my" counterparts of \inframed, \mframed and \inmframed. Is there any \define-like command for that, too, or do I have to resort to plain old \def? Regards, -- Marcin Borkowski

Hi I have a document where I use itemizations inside a tabulation. In this case the \head command is not respected and it overwrites the previous item. Please refer to the enclosed example. What am I doing wrong or is this a bug? Kind regards Willi
