Re: [NTG-context] Table

Thanks Wolfgang! But now I see a different issue arising: The left and the right column are set on the same lines (like grid-setting, not the same). I mean, that the text in the left column is set on the same lines, like the text in the right columns. Usually that is good, but not for my purpose, because arabic is very different, has long letters. So for the arabic text the interlinespace should be bigger, than for the german text. Is that possible with a table? An example: \starttext \starttabulate[|lp|rp|] \NC \input knuth \NC \dorecurse{20}{\tfc Blub} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext And this exactly, what happens with arabic. The only other possibility would be to set the arabic font very small, but that would be not very well readable. Huseyin.

Table

Hi, for a bilingual book (german-arabic) I want to use a table. So far I have this one: \starttabulate[||p(.46\textwidth)|p(.46\textwidth)||] But that is not exactly, what I want: I want a table with 3 columns. The left one ist left-aligned, for the german text (left-algined in the usual sence, I understood that these terms are opposite in context?), the middle one is empty (just to control the space between the to text-columns), and the right columns, arabic, is right aligned. I want to control all three by something like ".46\textwidth", and no indentation (like the above result, left column is indented). How to achieve this (simple) table? My tries did not work so far.

Text streams

Hello there, some motnh ago I asked for a possibility to set a book in Context bilingual (with a left and a right column on every page). This environment should allow of course page breaking etc. I got this answer (by Philipp Gesang): > What you are looking for is text streams. They are not yet fully > functional in mkiv. But as long as you need the streams to appear > as columns on the same page, as seems to be the case, there is a > cheap workaround using the *tabulate* environment (see below). So my question: Are text streams now available in MKIV? Thanks. Huseyin

Is this a bug, or has anybody an idea for a workaround? Huseyin

font weirdness

>From one moment to the next typesetting in Cambria suddenly gets sour: ! Math error: parameter \Umathquad\displaystyle is not set. Doing mtxrun --script fonts --reload did not help. Any idea what can have cause the trouble? The fact that I have used \showfont a few times, perhaps? I am completely in the dark. Hans van der Meer
