\externalfigure and factor=max
by Marco 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hi, according to the wiki the \externalfigure key “factor” has the options: max: aspect ratio is kept, the image is scaled to the bigger (oversized) variant fit: aspect ratio is kept, the image is scaled to the smaller (fitted) variant In the following example I expect the third image to have a width of 4cm and a height of 4cm. However, both values are 3cm. The aspect ratio is kept, but “max” and “fit” behave the same. \startbuffer [img] \useMPlibrary [dum] \startTEXpage \externalfigure [dummy] [width=5cm,height=5cm] \stopTEXpage \stopbuffer \ctxcommand{runbuffer("img", "img", true)} \starttext \externalfigure [\jobname-img] [width=3cm, height=4cm] \blank \externalfigure [\jobname-img] [factor=fit, width=3cm, height=4cm] \blank \externalfigure [\jobname-img] [factor=max, width=3cm, height=4cm] \stoptext Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding the wiki? Anyhow, is there a clean solution to keep the aspect ratio and scale the image to whichever value is larger? Marco

On an odd page?
by Bill Meahan 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

I must be having a bad day since I can't find the answer to this simple question on the wiki. I'm sure it's me but... How do I test if I am on an odd or even page? I need the equivalent of: PSUEDO COMMAND \doifoddpageelse{what to do on oddpage)(what to do on even page} This is _not_ in a header, BTW -- Bill Meahan K8QN "The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." -- William Arthur Ward This message is digitally signed with an X.509 certificate to prove it is from me and has not been altered since it was sent.

wrong German hyphenation for Nietzsche?
by Pablo Rodríguez 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hi there, using both \de and \deo, ConTeXt hyphenates Nietzsche as Nietz[-]sc[-]he. I'm not a native speaker, but I guess that hyphenating “sch” (at least in that case) is wrong. Isn't it Nietz[-]sche the right hyphenation? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

TABLE & lines (frame)
by Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o. 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hello, I'd need to create table with a head and a body, and with horizontal lines between rows disabled, excluding the head. Something like (ASCII art trial): +------+------+ | Head | Head | +------+------+ <- Line here bellow the head is wanted (and can be thicker than the outer lines)... | 11 | 12 | | | | <- ... but no horizontal line between body's rows. | 21 | 22 | +------+------+ I played with *frame settings (guided by wiki), but no success. My trial code: ---- \starttext \bTABLE[split=repeat,option=stretch,align=middle,frame=off,leftframe=on,rightframe=on] \bTABLEhead[bottomframe=on] \bTR\bTD Head \eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD Head \eTD\eTR \eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody \bTR\bTD 11\eTD\bTD 12\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD 21\eTD\bTD 22\eTD\eTR \eTABLEbody \eTABLE \stoptext ---- How to specify rules (frame) to get the desired look? TIA. Kind regards, Lukas -- Ing. Lukáš Procházka [mailto:LPr@pontex.cz] Pontex s. r. o.

directory structure
by Jan Pohanka 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hello, here's next of my newbie questions. I have a template for some sort of documents, lets say a report in one file as an environment. It contains also a definition for a footer with an image. I'd like to have the image on some other path than documents together with the template so I have to use \setupexternalfigures, but is it possible to specify a path independently of the env file and document file location. I mean some kind of global variable $TEMPLATES_DIR. Is it also possible to set some global path, where context will search the env files and not to use the full path in document file? Is enviroment good aproach to define templates? I have read Han's document about project structure, but it does something a bit different I think. template file in some directory on the system: \startenvironment myreport ... \setupexternalfigures[directory=???] \setupfootertexts[{\externalfigure[mypic]}] ... \stopenvironment document file in some other directory: \enviroment myreport \starttext \stoptext best regards Jan -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratnou poštovní aplikací Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/

preventing page breaks after headings
by Alan Bowen 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Is there a way in MKII to ensure that there is never a page break between a heading and the following text? \setuphead[after={\page[no]}] does not seem to work without entering vertical mode before \page. But, so far, I have not found a way to enter vertical mode in after={…} that does not add interlinespace and thus place the text too far from the heading. Any suggestion or alternatives? Alan

wrong page numbers when using arranging
by Pavel Dohnal 12 Jun '12

12 Jun '12

Hello, I am using \setuparranging and it causes me an error in referencing to pages. I want place number of page into text but this page number is wrong. As you can see in attached example, "Chapter 2" is printed on page 3 but command \at prints page 4. Could you please advise how to get the correct page number for "Chapter 2"? That is page number 3? Thank you Pavel Dohnal \setuppapersize [A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \starttext Chapter 1 - \at[chapter1]\\ Chapter 2 - \at[chapter2]\\ Chapter 3 - \at[chapter3]\\ Chapter 4 - \at[chapter4]\\ Chapter 5 - \at[chapter5]\\ \chapter[chapter1]{Chapter 1} {\input knuth } \chapter[chapter2]{Chapter 2} {\input knuth } \chapter[chapter3]{Chapter 3} {\input knuth } \chapter[chapter4]{Chapter 4} {\input knuth } \chapter[chapter5]{Chapter 5} {\input knuth } \stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] footnotes location=text

Thanks, I missed that change! And what is the parameter to prevent the footnotes being placed twice? \definenote [myFoot] \setupnote [myFoot] [location=text] \starttext \input knuth\myFoot{a footnote (which should not be placed on the page)} \page \placeno tes[myFoot] \stoptext cheers Daniel ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht ----- Von: "Wolfgang Schuster" schuster.wolfgang(a)googlemail.com Erhalten: 11.06.2012 11:34 An: daniel.schopper(a)aon.at, "mailing list for ConTeXt users" ntg-context(a)ntg.nl Am 11.06.2012 um 10:58 schrieb HermannSchopper: Dear list, after switching to the current beta (2012.06.09 01:22) manually placed footnotes are being placed _both_ on the page and at the place specified by \placenotes. And another one: I'd like to align the footnote number with the text (instead of having it ahng into the margin). Following http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Footnotes#Special_Needs I tried the location key in \setupnotation but this doesn't seem to do anything. You have to write \setupnotation[…][alternative=…].

Thanks a lot, that did it!

Unfortunately now the "paragraph" parameter in \setupnote[footnote][location=text,paragraph=yes] is ignored while it is working with location=page... You need \setupnote[…][paragraph=yes] and \setupnotation[…][display=no] (best add also “alternative=serried”) to have footnote etc. as a single paragraph. \setupnote [footnote][location=text,paragraph=yes] \setupnotation[footnote][display=no,alternative=serried] Wolfgang

Twittering
by Bill Meahan 11 Jun '12

11 Jun '12

Hopefully, this is not (too far) OT. I'm not sure how many on the list use Twitter but if you do, you still might not be aware of the daily "TeXTip" tweets. These contain a URL to one place on the web or another that have something to do with TeX/LaTeX usage. I'm thinking it would be great to have a daily "ConTeXtTip" tweet as well. Am I the only one? I'm way too much of a ConTeXt newbie or I'd do it myself. Of course, I _could_ serve as the Point Of Context and do the actual Tweeting of URLs or tips that fit into 140 characters that were emailed to me. If this is too far OT, my most profound apologies to the members of the list and especially the list masters. -- Bill Meahan K8QN "The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails." -- William Arthur Ward This message is digitally signed with an X.509 certificate to prove it is from me and has not been altered since it was sent.
