I am struggling with getting the first pages of my chapters laid out as desired. What I want on the top third of the page is a roughly 2 inch square graphic on the left with the chapter number and chapter title on the right in large print. The following chunk errors out as shown but works when hard-coded. Am I headed off in the wrong direction by trying to use columns in this way? Previously, I tried treating the chapter number and title as text with startfiguretext. It works but I can't format the chapter titles to fit properly. Any suggestions for a ConTeXt beginner? \def\ChapterTop#1#2{ \startcolumns[n=2] \placefigure[left]{none}{\externalfigure[chief]} \column \switchtobodyfont[26pt] {\ss\bf\sl #1} \blank[large]\blank[large] {\ss\bf #2} \stopcolumns} \setuphead[chapter] [command=\ChapterTop, header=high,footer=pagenumber,page=center] \input c:. %chapter used to test the code Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey Football player w C small

Linux PPC64 & minimals
by Roger Mason 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hello, I just tried to install the minimals on: uname -a Linux perthite 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 #6 SMP Wed Jan 13 17:59:36 NST 2010 ppc64 PPC970FX, altivec supported PowerMac7,3 GNU/Linux but got: sh ./first-setup.sh Error: your system "Linux ppc64" is not supported yet. Please report to the ConTeXt mailing-list (ntg-context(a)ntg.nl) The machine reports as ppc64 but it is running a 64 bit kernel with 32 bit userland. I'd like to know how to proceed. If necessary I am quite willing to build the minimals on this platform and contribute the binaries back to the wiki. Cheers, Roger

Changes in simplefonts
by John Haltiwanger 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Hi all, So the following used to work perfectly, but no longer does: \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Liberation-Serif] \starttext I feel so Liberated that {\ConTeXt} can see all my system fonts! \stoptext I don't seem to remember changing any configuration in order to get ConTeXt to see my system fonts (running ArchLinux, so it follows Linux standards). Yet now I cannot get the simplefonts module to see what it used to see fine. Has there been some backend changes so that *.ttf files on the system are now ignored? Do I need to install it to the ConTeXt directory or is there another alternative? (Updating my font database does nothing, unless 'luatools --generate' does not do this?) % context --version MTXrun | main context file: /home/serk17/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.tex MTXrun | current version: 2009.11.24 10:13

I am away from home and don't have my reference books handy, so need to as a simple question: When block quotes include multiple paragraphs are these paragraphs separate by \medskip or \smallskip? Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey Football player w C small

Split Table Footnotes Problem
by Tad Ashlock 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

Hi All, If a split table includes a footnote then the footnote is constrained to the same width as the first column of the table, not the page width. Example (also attached as tadtest5.tex): ============================================================ \automigrateinserts % or else footnotes don't show up at all \starttext \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par} \placetable[split]{Table Caption}% { \bTABLE[split=repeat]% \bTR\bTD table cell with footnote\footnote{This footnote is constrained to the width of the first table column.} \eTD \dorecurse{3}{\bTD table cell \eTD}\eTR \dorecurse{10}{\bTR\dorecurse{4}{\bTD table cell \eTD}\eTR} \bTR\bTD table cell footnote 2\footnote{This is another footnote that is constrained to the width of the first table column.} \eTD \dorecurse{3}{\bTD table cell \eTD}\eTR \eTABLE} \stoptext ============================================================ Does this have something to do with the \automigrateinserts command or is there something I'm not doing right? Thanks, Tad
