Divided cells and bullet points in tables
by Malte Stien 01 Sep '12

01 Sep '12

Hi, I'm trying to create a table with the following formatting: 1. The top left cell is divided in two by a diagonal line with separate text into each triangle 2. Another cell in the table body has a bulleted list I've had no success with the first. With the second I've tried using the \startitemize command. It generates the bullet points but places all the items on a single line and hence pushing the table wider than the page. I've also tried using \par or \newline but to no avail. I have been using tabulate for the table; is there another table library that might make this work? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, Malte.

Margin text and multiple columns
by Marc Rummel 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hello, I have a problem with margin texts in combination with multiple columns using mkiv. I want to set a text in the outer margin of a double sided document. This works well using \inouter as seen in the following document: --- \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \inouter{Text in Margin} \input knuth \page[yes] \inouter{Text in Margin} \input knuth \stoptext --- But fails, when I use it in combination with multiple columns. Then the margin text of the odd pages is set in the second column (probably in the margin of the first column) instead of the margin of the whole page. --- \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext \inouter{Text in Margin} \startcolumns \input knuth \stopcolumns \page[yes] \inouter{Text in Margin} \startcolumns \input knuth \stopcolumns \stoptext --- I hope someone can help me. Best wishes, Marc

Standalone MetaPost Graphics from ConTeXt
by Troy Henderson 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Is there a way to output several MetaPost PDF graphics from a single ConTeXt source file. For example, \startMPpage draw fullcircle scaled 72; \stopMPpage \startMPpage draw unitsquare scaled 72; \stopMPpage and have a separate output PDF generated for each MPpage? It seems that this ConTeXt code generates a single PDF which contains only the first graphic. I would like to have either 1) two separate PDF's with each containing their own graphic 2) a single two page PDF where each page corresponds to the appropriate graphic. Of course, the "holy grail" would be to be able to "compile" a MetaPost source file with ConTeXt. Troy Henderson

t-letter: marking=no not disabling folding marks
by Paul Menzel 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Dear ConTeXt folks, although looking at tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/letter/base/s-cor-01.mkvi on how to disable folding marks, I was unsuccessful to figure it out. This is with ConTeXt ver: 2012.08.28 20:00 MKIV fmt: 2012.8.29 int: english/english and please consider the following minimal example. \mainlanguage[de] \usemodule[letter] \starttext \setupletter [fromname={Max Musterfrau}, fromaddress={Beispielstraße 99\\99999 Musterstadt}] \setupletter [toname={Jane Mustermann}, toaddress={Musterstrarße 9999\\99999 Musterstadt}] \setupletterstyle [marking=no] \setupletter [marking=no] \startletter [opening={Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,}, subject={Musterbetreff}, closing={Freundliche Grüße,}, signature={Max Musterfrau}] \input knuth \stopletter \stoptext Thanks, Paul

Is it posslible to use remotely loaded image in PDF?
by Rostislav Wolný 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Hello all, I'm just wondering if it is possible to create PDF document which contains image (link to image) which is downloaded from the Internet and displayed at the moment when PDF is opened? Maybe it is not possible because some security reasons. I've spent hours googling it, but without satisfying answer (may be I'm just lame). Thanks a lot for answer. Rosta

Vertical alignment in Natural tables
by Aditya Mahajan 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Hi, How do I set the vertical alignment of cells in natural tables? I remember that \setupTABLE[align={middle,middle}] used to set center align vertically and horizontally. Currently, \setupTABLE[align={middle,high}] and \setupTABLE[align={middle,low}] work as expected, but \setupTABLE[align={middle,middle}] does not work. I also tried \setupTABLE[location={low}] (or lohi, or middle), but the calculation of height is wrong in those cases. Minimal example: \startsetups table \setupTABLE[align={middle,middle}] \stopsetups \starttext \startTABLE[setups=table] \NC Ward \NC \input ward \endgraf \NC \NR \stopTABLE \stoptext Aditya
