How do I adjust the margin/padding of \starttable ... \stoptable? In particular, can I make cells immediately next to one another without any padding? Troy Henderson

How to scale fonts?
by Devendra Ghate 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

Hello, I want to use truly huge (40pt) fonts for chapter numbers. In my latex code, I used \newfont{\chapterNumber}{pplr9d scaled 7000} From the context manual, I thought that \definebodyfont [11pt] [rm] [ tfH=cmr12 scaled 7000] should do it. Though the above code doesn't throw any errors, it doesn't do anything. What am I doing wrong? *MWE* \definebodyfont [11pt] [rm] [ tfH=cmr12 scaled 7000] \starttext {\tfH 1} \stoptext Devendra

Fixed Line Height
by Troy Henderson 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

When a page begins to get "full", TeX automatically squeezes lines slightly closer together (vertically) to help the page "break" where it thinks that it should. If the page is less than full, then the (vertical) distance between lines is fixed. How can I make this fixed distance remain fixed even as the page starts approaching full? That is, I don't want the lines to squeeze together when the page gets full. I'm familiar with \clubpenalty \interlinepenalty \displaywidowpenalty \widowpenalty \keeplinestogether (ConTeXt) but I'm not sure how to use any/all of these to get this effect. Troy Henderson

by Ingo Hohmann 06 Feb '13

Hi, is it possible to define a block, where lines are automatically formatted differently? For example: first line in caps, second in bold, others normal. Is this possible? And how? Kind regards, Ingo

\setlayer on \startalign row
by Troy Henderson 06 Feb '13

I would like to make a "row" of a \startalign ... \stopalign "hidden". The following fails. \starttext \definelayer[hiddenlayer][state=stop] \startformula \startalign[n=3,align={right,middle,left}] \NC a \NC = \NC b \NR \setlayer[hiddenlayer]{\NC a + c \NC = \NC b + c \NR} \stopalign \stopformula \stoptext Troy Henderson

So probably my definition of new alignment "block" was not successful and when using \setupalign the alignment with the keyword "block" is simply ignored. Is there any possibility to find out if the new alignment was really defined and exists? \installalign {block} {\parfillskip=\hsize \advance\parfillskip by -1.5\parindent \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus \parfillskip \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus -1em} % Next command is probably ignored? Can I test if the alignment "block" % really exists? \setupalign[block] Best regards Pavel

Hi, now I noticed that I can even use some non-existing alignment: \setuppapersize[A5] \setuplayout[location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt, height=fit, width=109mm ] \setupindenting[next,\baselineskip] \indenting[yes] \setupalign[nonexisting] \starttext Today, automated typesetting is quite popular, which is partly due to the fact that document coding standards have evolved, in particular XML. For instance, when you navigate the internet, a typesetting engine is at work to render the pages. When you ask for a print preview, you often get a different rendering. So, one document source can result in different views. The vehicle that we use for automated typesetting of books is called CONTEXT. This system is based on the well known typesetting engine and language TEX and the graphic programming environment METAPOST. \stoptext This example is processed without errors although there is no definition of the alignment "nonexisting". Is it not strange?

No number of chapter in TOC
by "H. Özoguz" 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

Hi there, after each chapter I begin with a section. So in the table of content every chapter has the same page-number as the section, which comes directly after the chapter-title (so no text is between them). In the TOC it is not necessary to have Chapter 1 ........... 7 Section 1 .............7 .... Chapter 1 ............. 22 Section 1 .............. 22 And so on. How can I deactivate page-numbers in the TOC for the chapters, it should be this way in the TOC: Chapter 1 Section 1 .............7 .... Chapter 1 Section 1 .............. 22 Thanks Huseyin
