ndash and mdash
by Troy Henderson 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

When using the Type 1 versions of the Lucida fonts, -- and --- don't work as expected. However, the following do work in their place. \uchar{32}{19} (for the -- ndash) \uchar{32}{20} (for the --- mdash) Can I redefine -- and --- to use the \uchar commands? Troy Henderson

Space after caption of a float
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

Hello, is there a built-in parameter for \setupcaptions which would affect the space after the caption? Or any other way? - Images here seem to me too close to each other; and I'm not able to add some extra space after the caption to get a bit bigger gap to the next object (image, text, whatever). Here are my trials - all bad, none of them increase the space after the caption: ---- \define[1]\MyCmd{#1\blank[2*big]} \starttext \placefigure[place]{Caption1}{\externalfigure[cow][width=.1\textwidth]} \placefigure[place]{Caption2\blank}{\externalfigure[cow][width=.1\textwidth]} \placefigure[place]{Caption3\blank[big]}{\externalfigure[cow][width=.1\textwidth]} \placefigure[place]{Caption4}{\externalfigure[cow][width=.1\textwidth]} \setupcaptions[command=\MyCmd] \placefigure[place]{Caption5}{\externalfigure[cow][width=.1\textwidth]} \placefigure[place]{Caption6}{\externalfigure[cow][width=.1\textwidth]} \stoptext ---- TIA.

Full page figure
by Mikoláš Štrajt 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

Hello everybody in list. I have drawn title page for my book on paper, later scanned it. And now I want to add it to my book as a first page. But there is the a problem. When I place it as a figure it is too large to fit on page. I have discovered [size=fit] argument, but this places it inside the page and margins remains. So how can I place this title page without margins? (A4 scanned page to A4 PDF page) I have scan in two formats PNG and PDF (A4 paper size). Regards -- Mikoláš Štrajt

Multi-paragraph quotations according to AP
by Bill Meahan 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

One of the things I do with ConTeXt is publish a newsletter. The organization I publish for requires me to conform to the Associated Press (AP) Stylebook for all grammar, punctuation and usage. The AP Stylebook requires every paragraph in a quotation to have an "open quotation mark" but only the last paragraph has the "close quotation" mark at the end. \startquotation .. \stopquotation easily takes care of the open on the first paragraph and close at the end of the last. What I can't figure out is how to put an open quotation mark on the intervening paragraphs. I've tried various combinations of \setupstartstop and friends but without success. Is there an easy/straight-forward way to do this? Example (line spaces between "paragraphs" are for illustration purposes only): "This is the first paragraph. It has an open quotation mark but no close. Blah, blah blah .... "This is the second paragraph. It has an open quotation mark, too, but no close. Blah, blah blah .... "This is the third paragraph. It has an open quotation mark as well but no close. Blah, blah blah .... "This is the last paragraph and it needs a closing quotation mark, too." Thanks, everyone. -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Proposal: making [[article]] and [[Article]] equivalent on the wiki
by Sietse Brouwer 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

Hello, all, The wiki currently has $wgCapitalLinks = false; meaning that if one wishes to link to e.g. [[Columns]] inside a sentence one must write "See the [[Columns|columns]] article." And if one links to another article, one must remember whether its title is lowercase, Titlecase, or if it doesn't matter because a redirect exists. Proposal: I propose we set $wgCapitalLinks = true; $wgCapitalLinkOverrides[ NS_FILE ] = false; This will make writing a link as [[Article]] or [[article]] both correct, but retain case sensitivity in the rest of the article title. In the file namespace, however, case sensitivity will be retained for the entire name, so that people won't have to download e.g. "T-lilypond.tex". Motivation below. Comments, agreement, disagreement welcome. Cheers, Sietse Motivation: Redirects can (and do) solve this, and so can changing the link, but that is busywork that nobody should have to do. Setting $wgCapitalLinks = true is a robust solution. Article titles will remain case-sensitive, except for the first letter, meaning * no more trying to remember whether an article is located at [[lowercase]] or at [[Titlecase]] * no more creating redirects from [[lowercase]] to [[Titlecase]] or vice versa * you can always use the simplest wikilink, because [[Columns]] and [[columns]] both work correctly. * article titles will consistently be displayed in Titlecase * for titles that should start in lowercase, such as [[texexec]] or [[first-setup]], we'll need to add e.g. {{DISPLAYTITLE:texexec}}. For the file namespace, it is preferable that case-sensitivity remains on, especially for .tex and .zip files such as http://wiki.contextgarden.net/File:T-lilypond.tex http://wiki.contextgarden.net/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=… (The large amount of Titlecased filenames in that list is because in the early days of this wiki, $wgCapitalLinks was also true everywhere.)

22 Sep '12

Hi followers of ConTeXt, does something in the lettermodule in the texlive version and the minimal version of ConTeXt has changed, as both no longer recognize the \useletterextension[addrentry,label] \useaddressfile[addrfile] lines and complain about an unknown command, if yes, what would be the way to fix this, or is this functionallity finally droped? Greetings Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz
