Narrower paragraphs

Hello, I need to temporary narrow the width in which text is typeset, to get something like: ---- Sdflsdf sjldfg sjfdg sjdfg sjdfg <- Normal (first) paragraph (no-indent). sf sjlfg sjdgfjsgfjsdf sgdf jsdgf sdfg gjh. Lsdf sjldfg sjfdg sjdfg sjdfg <- Normal (other) paragraph (normal indent). sf sjlfg sjdgfjsgfjsdf sgdf jsdgf sdfg gjh. <- Blank line Sdfjhk skjdhf kh skh fsk ks <- Narrower (first) paragraph (no-indent); skfh skf s ksk fk sf kh jhd its width e.g. 0.8 * <width-of-the-normal-paragraph> (\textwidth) dfs fsdf. Fjhk skjdhf kh skh fsk ks <- Narrower (other) paragraph (normal indent). skfh skf s ksk fk sf kh jhd dfs fsdf. Fjhk skjdhf kh skh fsk ks skfh skf s ksk fk sf kh jhd dfs fsdf. <- Blank line Sdkf sks dfks fhf skdhf kshfk j <- Normal (next) paragraph (normal indent). f sfh skfhs kfh skfh skf skdhfkdf fks fshf shf skhfd ksdhfhks djiuo dsdhf k. Lsdf sjldfg sjfdg sjdfg sjdfg sf sjlfg sjdgfjsgfjsdf sgdf jsdgf sdfg gjh. ---- I tried to play somehow with \(setup)paragraph(s), but it seems the are intended for paragraph-side-by-side setting, like columns do. Changing \pagelayout changes the whole page layout, whilst I need just to narrow some paragraphs. Something like: \defineSomethingLikeParagraph[MyPar][width=.8\textwidth,leftdistance=.1\textwidth,before=\blank,after=\blank,] And later: \startMyPar \input knuth \stopMyPar Is there something like that?

simple question on kerning activation
by Pablo Rodríguez 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hi there, I have the following file to check a feature in FreeSerif: \setuppapersize[A4,landscape] \usemodule[simplefonts][size=30pt] \setmainfont[FreeSerif] \starttext dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par {\em dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par} {\bf dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par} {\bf\em dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par} \stoptext Sorry for the stupid question: isn't it font kerning (not kern OT table, but traditional non-OT kerning) enabled when compiling this source? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Find all words set into the margin

So for now, I will go through every single page, and look for black boxes (or in your gimmick red boxes). Thanks. Huseyin

Updating texlive?
by Thomas A. Schmitz 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hi, is there a canonical way to update texlive so it runs the latest context beta? From time to time, I'd like to be sure that I can run texlive as well. I tried unzipping the latest zip file in texlive/texmf-local, running mtxrun --generate and context --make, but I get texmf-local/scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua:859: attempt to call field 'loadchunk' (a nil value) mtx-context.lua is identical to the one in standalone, as is the luatex binary, so I'm wondering what's going wrong here? All best Thomas

Euler Constant and limit
by Kip Warner 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Hey list, I am trying to typeset the Verhulst equation which contains a Euler constant which I cannot get to display correctly: \placeformula[formula:Verhulst equation] \startformula \math{P(t) = \frac{K P_0 \Eulerconst^{rt}} {K + P_0(\Eulerconst^{r t} - 1)}} \stopformula The location for the \Eulerconst just shows up blank with nothing there, so I am assuming this is the wrong command. I am using ConTeXt 2012.11.16 under Ubuntu Precise. In addition, the following formula does not typeset correctly. There is no arrow linking 't' to infinity symbol: \placeformula[formula:Limit of Verhulst equation] \startformula \math{\lim_{t\to\infty} P(t) = K.\,} \stopformula PS Please cc me, as I am not on the list currently. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

Thanks, thats quite nice. Is it pirincipal possible to programm this macro I am looking for, which lists all "reds" (in your gimmick) in a TOC with pagenumbers? (I am not asking you to do that, just curious, maybe I want to programm some macro myself one day, not only getting gifts from you and all other programmers :)) Huseyin

These black blocks are quite useful, but not as powerful, as I am looking for. I am looking for a command, which builds a register of all occurences of these blocks. Imagine I am working on a 300-page book, than I have to check every single page for these margin-runs (f.e. after changing the layout), with these black boxes its much easier, of course, but still a mess. Is there a command like "\showallmarginruns", which gives something like this: "Margin runs on p. 34,67,101,145,204,298" - it may use somehow the blocks of \version[temporary], that would be perfect for me. Could I make clear, what I am looking for (sorry for my leck of English)? Thanks. Huseyin

Long sectiontitle with line-break in index of contents
by "H. Özoguz" 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi there, today many questions :) Look at this: \starttext \completecontent \section[ title={A very long title\par with a formatting in it} ] \stoptext I have a case, where I want to have a line-break (\par) in the title in the text (to avoid hyphenation) - but not in the index of contents - there it should be simply like: \starttext \completecontent \section[ title={A very long title with a formatting in it} ] \stoptext Huseyin

fonts list

Hi, What is modern way to see the list of available fonts? "mtxrun --script fonts --list" does not work anymore. Seems like a lot changed while I was not paying attention to ConTeXt ) Regards, Vyatcheslav
