Split \starttabulates
by Malte Stien 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Dear all, I have a number of tables defined like this: \placetable[here][tab:some-table]{Some Table} \starttabulate[|w(.30\textwidth)p|w(.70\textwidth)p|] \HL \NC {\bf Animal} \NC {\bf Comment} \NC\FR \HL \NC Cat \NC Pretty cool \NC\MR \NC Bear \NC Kind of lazy \NC\MR \NC Sheep \NC Always hungry \NC\MR \HL \stoptabulate However, I need one of these tables to split over adjacent pages, which according to the documentation should be achievable with \setuptabulate[split=yes] However, that does not seem to work in connection with the \placetable line. That is, if I put that last line in front of the block mentioned above, the table does still not split across adjacent pages. I have to remove the \placetable line for the \setuptabulate line to have any effect, except then I loose my caption and can no longer cross-reference to table either. Any clues? Thank you, Malte.

xits font: some spacing and scaling problems
by Andreas Mang 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hi there, Not quite sure if this is the right place. I wanted to send this directly to Khaled Hosny, but then I thought it might be good to have some additional opinion on some of these issues (I am not quite sure if some of this is intended behaviour). I have collected some examples for which I think there are some scaling and spacing problems in xits. Also, small caps are not supported. Is this intended?! Thanks for your help. Cheers, Andreas %%%%%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%% \setupbodyfont[xits,11pt] \starttext $\diamond$ % too small?! $\square$ % OK?! $\blacktriangleright$ % too big?! $\blacktriangleleft$ % too big?! $\blacktriangle$ % too big?! $\blacktriangledown$ % too big?! {\sc Word} % not supported ?! $\tilde{W}^i$ $W^i$ % using a superscript in case % an accent is used results in % a too small distance between letter % and superscript $f^i$ % distance too small (seems to be just the case for $f$, see e.g. $h^i$ $t^i$) \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%% MINIMAL EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%%

Some align observations
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hello, I'm just curious: I tried to apply align specification to \b/e-TABLE, inframed, \start/stop-alignment and \start/stop-tabulate: ---- \setupbodyfont[11pt] \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[width=4cm,align=middle] \setupTABLE[column][1][align=left] \setupTABLE[column][4][align=right] \bTR \bTD ali=L\eTD \bTD B\eTD \bTD \inframed[width=1.5cm,align=left]{ali=L}\eTD \bTD ali=R\eTD \eTR \eTABLE \startalignment[left] \input tufte \stopalignment \starttabulate[|pl|pc|pr|] \NC ali=L \input tufte\NC\input tufte\NC ali=R \input tufte\NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext ---- The text aligned by "align=left" inside TABLE cell, inside \inframed and inside \startalignment is aligned to the right border of the "bounding box" (ragged left). The text aligned by "align=left" inside \start/stop-tabulate is aligned to the left edge of the "bounding box". I must admit than tabulate's behavior seems more natural to me, but this may be just my point of view. Anyway, why the behavior of alignment specification is different for {\b/e-TABLE, \inframed, \start/stop-alignment} and {\start/stop-tabulate}? Wouldn't be nice to unite it?

Re: [NTG-context] Wrong results for chemical structures and reactions

Wrong results for chemical structures and reactions
by Marco Patzer 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hi, chemical structures and reactions produce wrong results. Here is one example from the wiki and two from the manual. \starttext %% does not typeset the reaction, prints the commas, wrong spacing %% and no arrow \startformula \chemical{2H_2,+,O_2,->,2H_2O} \stopformula %% same here, GIVES is not interpreted \startformula \chemical{A,GIVES,B,EQUILIBRIUM,C,MESOMERIC,D} \stopformula %% wrong alignment, rules overlay symbols \startformula \setupchemical [width=fit, height=fit, scale=small, size=small] \startchemical \chemical[ONE,Z0,DB1,SB46,MOV1,Z0,SB28][C,C] \stopchemical \startchemical \chemical[SPACE,PLUS,SPACE] \stopchemical \startchemical \chemical[ONE,Z0,SB146,Z6][N,H] \stopchemical \startchemical \chemical[SPACE,GIVES,SPACE] \stopchemical \startchemical \chemical[ONE,Z07,SB1357,MOV1,Z0,SB27,PB:Z2,ONE,Z0,SB13,PE][C,H,C,N] \stopchemical \stopformula \stoptext Am I missing something? Is this mechanism not supported any more or just broken? Marco

Hello, I'm typesetting a French brochure with a typeface created for this project But everytime I have an É (or any diacritic on a capital letter), it creates a blank line above) here's a screenshot of what it produces: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l7xuiuesba5lb9e/Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%20… I run version 2012.03.13 21:26 on arch linux The diacritic if over the 1000 truetype height, is this the problem?

My own module.
by Andre Caldas 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Where should I put a module if I have the following project strucutre? math-books/ math-books.tex environments/ layout.tex products/ book1.tex book1/ chapter1.tex chapter2.tex book2.tex book2/ chapter1.tex chapter2.tex I have a "my_module.lua" and a "my_module.tex". Where should I put those files? How do I configure my project to use my module? How do I call my own module from "book1/chapter1.tex", for example? Thank you, André Caldas.

counter reseting at every heading
by Peter Schorsch 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Hi, few months ago (18th may) I asked about how to setup a counter that resets after each heading (chapter, section, subsection, subsubsection and so on. I got three possibilities then but none of them was implemented (and still is not): 1) \definecounter[ParagraphNumber][prefix=no,way={bychapter,bysection,bysubsection,bysubsubsection}] 2) \definecounter[ParagraphNumber][prefix=no,way=byheader] 3) \setuphead[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection][after={\resetcounter[ParagraphNumber]}] as soon the spaces are defined over spaceafter instead of after. Is there a forth option out? Or can anyone tell me what the defaults spaces are so that I can copy them manually? Thanks P.

mkiv: way to signal extra run(s)
by Peter Rolf 29 Sep '12

29 Sep '12

Hi, just wondering. Is there a official way to signal ConTeXt from a module, that an extra run is needed? I started thinking about adding bookkeeping for the created run time graphics. Graphic related changes can then be detected and, if necessary, extra runs can be started to update the changed graphics. I need the second run to create and start the ImageMagick batch script, but the collected info in the *.tuc file prevents ConTeXt from starting a second/third run. Currently I use a batch file that simply deletes the *.tuc file and then calls 'context'. As there is no bookkeeping, all the graphics are recreated then. Peter
