question about the layer.
by Jeong Dal 28 May '13

28 May '13

Dear Wolfgang, I read your detailed explanation about the difference between "overlay" and "layer". Here is your sample code using layer. \starttext \definelayer[test] \setlayer[test][x=3cm,y=6cm]{ONE} \setlayer[test][x=8cm,y=2cm]{TWO} \setlayer[test][x=2cm,y=9cm]{THREE} \flushlayer[test] \stoptext It shows ONE, TWO, and THREE in the same page. I'd like to show each word one by one when I click, so I tested the following code. \setupinteraction[state=start] \usemodule[pre-60] \starttext \definelayer[test1] \definelayer[test2] \definelayer[test3] \setlayer[test1][x=3cm,y=6cm]{ONE} \setlayer[test2][x=8cm,y=2cm]{TWO} \setlayer[test3][x=2cm,y=9cm]{THREE} \StartSteps \flushlayer[test1] \FlushStep \flushlayer[test2] \FlushStep \flushlayer[test3] \FlushStep \StopSteps \stoptext This code produces 3 page output one word per each page. There is no need to click the mouse. I may misunderstand about the layer. However, is there a way to show each word one by one in the same page when I click. Best regards, Thank you. Dalyoung

\definehighlight with style=command problem
by Alan Bowen 28 May '13

28 May '13

I an trying to use \definehighlight to define a macro that will color and overstrike selected text. Thus far, \definehighlight[Delete][color=red,style={\overstrike}] \starttext test \Delete{test} test \stoptext reports ! Too many }'s. system > tex > error on line 4 in file ...TEST.tex: Too many }'s ... If I replace “\overstrike” with “bold”, “\Delete” works. “\overstrike” works otherwise, so am I trying the impossible here? Alan

Adjust font size to cell height in natural table
by "H. Özoguz" 27 May '13

27 May '13

Hello together, I use this as a natural table \def\esl[#1][#2][#3][#4][#5][#6][#7]{% \page \startframed[frame=off,width=fit,offset=overlay,align=middle,background=eslami]% \bTABLE[width=4.55cm,align={middle,lohi}] \bTR\bTD[height=2cm] ~\blank[-3.4mm]#1 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD[height=3cm] #2\\#3\\#4\\#5\\#6 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD[height=2.4cm] #7 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stopframed} Now it can happen, that the text of #7 is too long for the third cell, which is 4.55cm x 2.4cm. Is it possible to automatically adjust the fonz size (of this text in this sepcific cell only), s.t. it fits in the cell? For testing: %*********************************************************** \defineoverlay[eslami][{\externalfigure[eslamivorlage.pdf]}] \def\esl[#1][#2][#3][#4][#5][#6][#7]{% \page \startframed[frame=off,width=fit,offset=overlay,align=middle]% \bTABLE[width=4.55cm,align={middle,lohi}] \bTR\bTD[height=2cm] ~\blank[-3.4mm]#1 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD[height=3cm] #2\\#3\\#4\\#5\\#6 \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD[height=2.4cm] #7 \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stopframed} \setuppagenumbering[location=] \definepapersize[sheet][width=45.5mm,height=74mm] \definepapersize[bigsheet][width=\dimexpr\paperwidth+2mm\relax,height=\dimexpr\paperheight+2mm\relax] \setuplayout [location=middle, topspace=0mm, header=0mm, footer=0mm, bottomspace=0mm, width=middle, cutspace=0mm, backspace=0mm, %BCOR 5mm inkl. height=fit, grid=no] \setuppapersize[sheet][bigsheet] \setupbackgrounds[page][frame=off,frameoffset=0mm] \starttext \esl[Begriff][VB 1][VB 2][VB 3][VB 4][VB 5][Too small, too small, too small, too small, too small, too small, too small, too small.

Bibliography: spacing in cite, lettering of repeated years
by Steve Frank 25 May '13

25 May '13

I am just starting with the bibliography module and ran the following test: \cite[authoryear,left=(yes: ,right=; Rk)][frank98foundations] here, \cite[author][frank98foundations], then \cite[year][frank98foundations], then \cite{otrosina88isozyme,frank91ecological,frank98foundations,abraham82dynamics:} said and then { \cite[otrosina88isozyme]} commented and then \cite{abraham82dynamics:} With my setup, that gave: (yes: Frank 1998; Rk) here, Frank, then 1998, then (Otrosina et al. 1988; Frank 1991c,1998; Abraham and Shaw 1982) said and then (Otrosina et al. 1988) commented and then (Abraham and Shaw 1982) I give more on setup below. My three issues: 1. The space after the period in "et al." stretches, which does not look right. I tried modifying the "otherstext" field in various ways, but could not get a working solution. Any advice? 2. With the "compress" option on for authoryears, the dates 1991c,1998 are correctly combined in the second set, but I would like a space as "1991c, 1998" instead of "1991c,1998". 3. The citations listed here are all of the ones in the current document. The date 1991c should be 1991, without a letter, because there is neither 1991a nor 1991b. Is there a way to get consistent letter of repeated years, such that no letter is present without repeat, and the letters are given in the order in which they appear in the text? --- I am new to ConTeXt, and started by copying someone else' environment. Here are the relevant parts: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database={main}] \setuppublications [alternative=apa, sorttype=bbl, refcommand=authoryears, criterium=text, numbering=no] \setupcite [year] [pubsep={, }, lastpubsep={ and }, compress=yes, inbetween={}, left={}, right={}] \setupcite [author] [pubsep={, }, lastpubsep={ and }, compress=yes, inbetween={}, left={}, right={}] \setupcite [authoryears] [pubsep={; }, % otherstext={ et al. }, % cannot get that to work % \c!otherstext={ et al.}, lastpubsep={; }, compress=yes, inbetween={ }, left={(}, right={)}] Steve

Next question to this: The printable area of the sheet is not the complete area, e.g. it has a not-printable margin of 10mm on the left, 2mm right, and 5mm at the top and 5mm at the bottom. How to control these margins, s.t. the cards are only set in the printable area of the sheet? I tried with "topspace", "buttomspace" etc. in \setuplayout, but that does not work now. Thanks. Huseyin
