Stretching width in natural TABLEs
by Aditya Mahajan 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Hi, Is it possible to stretch the widths of each column in natural TABLEs, so that the widths are in a certain propotion? For example, suppose I have a table with three columns and I want to set the width of the first column to a fixed amount, and split the remaining space between columns two and three in a 1:2 ratio. Extreme tables implement something similar using option={stretch, width}, but AFAIU, it is not possible to fix the width of a particular column. Aditya

ConTeXt color to text
by Peter Rolf 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Hi, for a batch command (ImageMagick) I need to convert ConTeXt colors to a text representation (e.g. rgb 'red' -> 'rgb(255,0,0)'; same for color models cmyk and gray). What is the best way to get (read only) access to the color channels of a defined color? Peter

Dear Marco, Aha, I missed to put the name of the component. With the component name, it works fine. I am sorry for the noise. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

\startchapter[title=Test] is not working inside \startcomponent
by Jeong Dalyoung 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Dear Listers, \startchapter[title=Test] is working inside \starttext and \stoptext. But it is not working inside \startcomponent and \stopcomponent. Is it a natural behavior? I am using iMac, OSX Mountain Lion. And the ConTeXt version is "ConTeXt ver: 2012.08.28 20:00 MKIV fmt: 2012.9.4 int: english/english" A short test file is: %\startcomponent \starttext \startchapter[title=Test] \input knuth \stopchapter \stoptext %\stopcomponent Thank you for reading. Best regards, Dalyoung

Hi, autowidth=force only works if I also set align=<something>. Is this a bug or a feature? \starttext \framed[width=5cm, autowidth=force, align=normal]{Small} \framed[width=5cm, autowidth=force, align=]{Small} \framed[width=5cm, autowidth=force,]{Small} \stoptext Aditya

Dear Sietse, I run your code and got the following result: === system branch is Darwin: Darwin === cpu branch is x86_64: x86_64 === system: Darwin === cpu: x86_64 === platform: osx-64 It seems to me that the system is OK. But first-setup.sh issues the same error message. After downloading "first-setup.sh" again and try to update again, I'll report the result. Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

\setupdelimitedtext not working in TeXLive 2012
by Bill Meahan 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

This used to work to provide proper behavior for nested quotations. Now, it doesn't work and the log shows errors for all 3 of "missing or ungrouped '=' after 'n' (371>quotation:)" where n=1,2,3 as they are encountered. \setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [1] [left={\symbol[leftquotation]}, right={\symbol[rightquotation]}] \setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [2] [left={\symbol[leftquote]}, right={\symbol[rightquote]}] \setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [3] [left={\symbol[leftquotation]}, right={\symbol[rightquotation]}] Did the syntax change or is it a bug? -- Bill Meahan Westland, Michigan USA

Page number in the edge
by Marco Patzer 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

Hi, moving the page number into the edge in the following way seems straightforward, but fails. “edge” is not recognised as “margin” or “header” is. I wonder why. Is this intended or am I misusing the command? \setuplayout [backspace=5cm, width=10cm, edge=1cm] \setuppagenumbering [location={header, edge}] % fails: centred in the header % [location={header, margin}] % works % also works %\setupheadertexts %[edge] [] [pagenumber] \starttext \showframe \dorecurse{10}{\null\page} \stoptext Marco

Wiki example compilation failure
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 03 Sep '12

03 Sep '12

Hello, maybe the known problem with the wiki and the "current" Ctx versions. The following code: ---- \setuppapersize[A5] \starttext \definedelimitedtext[mydt] \setupdelimitedtext[mydt][left=\leftguillemot,right=\rightguillemot] \quotation{Clancy of the Overflow}, by Banjo Paterson \startmydt And an answer came directed in a manner unexpected, and I think the same was written with a thumbnail dipped in tar; 't was his shearing-mate who wrote it, and verbatim I will quote it: \quotation{Clancy's gone to Queensland droving, and we don't know where he are.} \stopmydt \stoptext ---- is successfully compiled by the current Ctx version whilst the same example on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupdelimitedtext is not.
