Makeup layout
by Andrew Bernard 15 May '13

15 May '13

Greetings list, A newbie question: how does one adjust the vertical position of text in a makeup block for a title page? It seems to go on the centre no matter what. The voffset and hoffset parameters appear to have no effect. I have heard that layers can be used. But there is no section on layers in the current reference manual. Where does one find information on this aspect of ConTeXt? Andrew

MkIV problem+fix with \framed[location=depth / height / hanging]
by Sietse Brouwer 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hi Hans, I believe that in MkIV some \framed[location=...] keys are not working, namely `depth`, `height`, and `hanging`. In MkIV these all place the bottom of the frame flush with the baseline, like [location=]. In MkII they behave more sensibly, as follows: * depth: place bottom of frame flush with bottom of the line (i.e. \strutdepth below baseline) * height: place top of frame flush with top of line * hanging: place top of frame flush with baseline Test code below, mkii and mkiv output attached. I have produced a fix for the code in pack-rul.mkiv [1], placed at the very bottom of this e-mail. It works; but it is a pure-bred example of cargo cult programming, i.e. lots of 'making it look right' and very little understanding, so you will probably want to check it.

Processing URL with TeX macros
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 15 May '13

15 May '13

Hello ConTeXist. I would like get right URL, when I use \useURL command. Is there possibilities put any TeX macro to first and second parameter? It was clear to me why this is about, but I need it for one application (in the cycle I change URL addresses). Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Here is my minimal example: \setupinteraction[state=start] \def\myurl{http://mydomain.com/path/} \def\myfile{mypdffile.pdf} \def\urltext{This is link to my file} \useURL[okexample][http://mydomain.com/path][mypdffile.pdf][\urltext] \useURL[problemexample][\myurl][\myfile][\urltext] \starttext \from[okexample] -- OK \from[problemexample] -- link problem \stoptext

> \define[2]\arde > {\bTR > \bTD[roffset=1ex,…]#1\eTD > \bTD[loffset=1ex,…]#2\eTD > \eTR} > > Wolfgang Thanks Wolfgang! And one more question to this table: Whythe left german text is aligned left, and the arabic text is justified? How to make both flushleft/flushright? If I add "align=flushright", then the "align=r2l" attribute is deactivated. Thanks. Huseyin

Distanc to rightframe in TABLE

Hi, the german-arabic-transliteration-environment becomes, with your kind help, better and better. Next question, see this standard-code: \definefont[amiri][file:UthmanTN1Ver10.ttf*arabic at 10 pt] % or amiri-regular.ttf \define[1]\Arab{\setupalign[r2l]\amiri#1} %\showgrid \startsetups[arde] \setupTABLE[c][1][rightframe=on] \stopsetups \def\startarde {\bTABLE[frame=off,width=.5\textwidth,setups=arde,split=yes]} \def\stoparde {\eTABLE} \define[2]\arde {\bTR \bTD [style={\setupinterlinespace[line=3ex]}] #1\eTD \bTD[align=r2l,style={\amiri\setupinterlinespace[line=5ex]}] #2 \eTD \eTR} \starttext \startarde \arde{\input knuth}{االلّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ فِيما تَقْضِي وَتُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الاَمْرِ المَحْتُومِ فِي الاَمْرِ الحَكِيمِ مِنَ القَضاء الَّذِي لايُرَدُّ وَلا يُبَدَّلُ أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الحَرامِ المَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمُ المَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمُ المَغْفُورُ ذُنُوبُهُمُ المُكَفَّرِ عَنْ سَيِّئاتِهِمْ، وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَ فِيما تَقْضِي وَتُقَدِّرُ أَنْ تُطِيلَ عُمْرِي فِي خَيْرٍ وَعافِيَةٍ وَتُوَسِّعَ فِي رِزْقِي وَتَجْعَلَنِي مِمَّنْ تَنْتَصِرُ بِهِ لِدِينِكَ وَلاتَسْتَبْدِلْ بِي غَيْرِي } \stoparde Now I want a distance between the left german text and the middle vertical line (which is just the rightframe of the first cell), and also a distance between the arabic text and this same rightframe. So the texts should not "glue" to the vertical line. How to do that? Thanks Huseyin

Grid typesetting: aligning section to top of textarea
by Sietse Brouwer 14 May '13

14 May '13

Dear list, I am making a foray into grid typesetting, and would like to align the top of my (possibly multi-line) section titles with the top of the textarea. I thought I could do that with \setuphead[subject][grid={broad,high}], but this is not working. I have tried nearly every other combination of grid keywords, and then tried them again with the subject wrapped in a framed. The "It's in the details" manual didn't provide help. I found an old e-mail by Honza, but that never got a reply. http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/details.pdf http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg58456.html I put an MWE below, and I have attached its output. If anybody has any clues for me, (or 'not currently available, you can stop trying'), I would be most grateful. Cheers, Sietse \setuppapersize[A5] %% Activate grid \setuplayout [grid=yes, width=middle, topspace=2\lineheight, height=31\lineheight, header=2\lineheight, footer=0\lineheight,] \setupbodyfont[schola,13pt] \definefont[AntykwaChapter][antykwatorunskaregular at 18pt]% %% If wrapping the subject in a framed is needed, this command does it \def\subjectcommand#1{% \framed[ frame=on, framecolor=blue, width=\textwidth, align=flushleft, offset=none, %% strut=no does not work %% so cancel out lineheight-fontsize diff with -toffset toffset=-4.5pt, %% This *should* mean: %% * take topmost line in framed as reference line %% * align top of reference line with external baseline. %% but grid=yes may disable that. location={top, hanging}, ]{\AntykwaChapter #1}} %% The head-specific grid setup comes here \setuphead[subject] [header=high, % no header; extend textarea into header area page=yes, %% Take the box, assume it is a snug fit of its contents, and align %% its top with the grid line above it? %% Seems to do nothing %% A tweak like '-3pt' ditto grid={fit,high}, textcommand=\subjectcommand, % textstyle=\AntykwaChapter, ] \showframe \showgrid \showstruts %% Example text \starttext \subject{The hoard of the gibbelins} The Gibbelins eat, as is well known, nothing less good than man. \startsubject[ title={How Nyth would have worked his art upon the gnoles}, marking=How Nuth would have worked his art, ] Despite the advertisements of rival firms, it is probable that every tradesman knows that nobody in business at the present time has a position equal to that of Mr. Nuth. \stopsubject \stoptext

authoring for web and print - suggestions
by Norbert Preining 13 May '13

13 May '13

Dear all, this time I have a question not concerning how to ship ConTeXt in Debian or so, but very different. Does anyone have experience with authoring for web and print. I.e., we want to maintain only one format and generate both web pages and printed documentation from it. Is there intrinsic or through addons support in ConteXt for this? Any suggestion would be greatly welcome Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREINING, Norbert http://www.preining.info JAIST, Japan TeX Live & Debian Developer DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the right side, you see the problem with the arabic: The interlinespace. Between the first lines everything is ok, but then the interlinespace becomes smaller and smaller. Why? It is some issue of the table, because if I set the arabic text purely out of the table by \Arab{}, then there is no problem and all interlinespaces are the same. So where comes this from? Huseyin

Rotating vector graphics.

In context can I use a pdf graphic but rotate it 90 degrees? It is easy to convert it to bitmap and rotate it in Gimp or with ImageMagick but I would like to retain the vector format. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
