I had a look at the garden reference of \setupinmargin. Trying to set width=70mm, I get no change. The default seems to be bold and aligned right. Changing the style works, but trying to align inner/left also has no effect. Any help? Thank you, Severin

ruby module
by S Barmeier 04 Mar '12

Is it possible to place the ruby text in a margin? This would allow me to keep line spacing decently tight and also prevent the reader from only reading the annotation. How can one change the font size of the annotation and is there a way to keep it fixed, not being scaled according to the font size of the word it annotates? Thanks, Severin

\setuphead problem

The following code works in MKII; but in MKIV, I get the header text on the page *before* the page with the title. How can I fix this?

Great, thank you. Just in case I missed it on the mailing list... Is there a way of floating a margin text to the top/bottom of the page (aligning with the top/bottom of the text area)? >> Could someone savant provide me with a rough overview of how to place >> text in a margin these days, or else point me to a reference.

Could someone savant provide me with a rough overview of how to place text in a margin these days, or else point me to a reference. (I searched the garden without success.) Many thanks, Severin

first and last line number on page
by Pablo Rodríguez 03 Mar '12

03 Mar '12

Hi there, with the following sample: \starttext \startlinenumbering \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf\par\input knuth} \stoplinenumbering \stoptext I would like to have a header that contains the first and last line number on the page. Is there any way to do that? (The ConTeXt reference manual and the wiki seem not to have an answer to this question.) Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I can send you debs for the latter if you like, but I think you're probably better off with the former. I'll have to hunt for the 2012.01.25 debs somewhere in Adam's PPA. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com

overfull hbox on items
by Meer, H. van der 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

This setting gives an overfull hbox of exactly 3 points: \setupitemgroup[itemize][each] [joinedup,packed] [symbol=n,distance=3pt, align=right,itemalign=flushright, stopper={.\,} ] In the logfile: Overfull \hbox (3.0pt too wide) detected at line 7 Changing to distance=4pt makes the hbox 4pt too wide. Changing to distance=0pt (or delete parameter) makes the hbox fit. Why is this? Apart from cluttering the logfile, I guess this hbox overflow signals something that can be bettered.
