Remove bold face
by anuar lezama 18 Nov '09

Hello Everybody, My problem is the following: I'm creating chapter's titles with a mix of styles. For example. \chapter{ something {\bolditalic another thing}} This give me the result that I expect with my titles, but when I use this title's string to create a header, part of the header appears with the bold italic style on it and I would like to remove it. So far I have tried to define my header's style as normal but the bolditalic style keeps appearing on the "another thing" part. Is there a way to remove this bold style? Thank you in advance for the help -- Kind Regards Anuar

framed items
by Thomas A. Schmitz 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hi all, maybe there is already code for that, but I haven't found it: is it possible to have itemgroups where every single item is within a frame (this is something that may be interesting for presentations)? Just to give you an idea of what I want to achieve, here's a short example: \setuplayout[width=10cm] \starttext \setupframed[offset=2mm, corner=round, background=color, backgroundcolor=blue, foregroundcolor=white, frame=off, strut=no, align=normal, width=\textwidth] \startitemize[n] \item \framed{The text of this item is made very long because it is intended to show the effect of what happens when an item extends to more than just one line.} \item \framed{This item is relatively short, but also fills more than one line.} \stopitemize \stoptext The problem is the vertical alignment of the item number, which should be at the top of the frame. Is this possible? All best Thomas

Hello, > Don't use both backspace and cutspace at the same time. From http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layout: backspace \backspace <javascript:show_command('backspace')> from left rim of paper to left rim of main text area cutspace \cutspace <javascript:show_command('cutspace')> from right rim of paper to right rim of main text area Either the description is wrong, or... the thoughts stop here :)) Regards, Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] spacing between floating figure caption and surrounding text

Hello Hans, > > sidespacebefore > sidespaceafter Yes, I played with them, but did not understand their logic. Is 'high' equals to sidespacebefore=0 'low' -- to sidespaceafter=0? In other words, how to duplicate the effect of 'low' using sidespace options? Vyatcheslav

kpathsea510.dll couldn't be found
by Helmut Schwertner 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

Hello, if I try to update the contextmininals (command line method under windows) or to reinstall contextminimals I get the message "mpost.exe" could not found because kpathsea510.dll are not found. The same happens with "pdftex.exe". The update or the reinstall stopped. I started the update with "first-setup.bat --keep" (initialized the tree with C:\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\context\tex). On my contextminimals there ist no file named kpathsea510.dll. Only kpathsea500.dll etc. What can I do? Thanks, Helmut -- ******************************************************** Helmut Schwertner Kirchweg 154 28201 Bremen Phone: 0421 528 58 22 Mobil: 01577 195 37 78 eMail: helmut.schwertner(a)gmx.de

spacing between floating figure caption and surrounding text
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 17 Nov '09

Hello, Another question about figures. How to get rid of big spacing between floating figure caption and surrounding text? In the following example, I want the spacing between "Figure 1" and the text below to be twice less. \starttext \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth \par} \placefigure [inner] {} {\externalfigure[cow][width=0.5\textwidth]} \dorecurse{2}{\input knuth \par} \stoptext Regards, Vyatcheslav

Producing PDF x/1-a:2001 output.
by John Culleton 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

At least two commercial printers that I use prefer or insist on the format PDF X/1-a:2001 output. The only way I have found to produce such in TeX without a pass through Adobe Acrobat Distiller or the shareware program Pstill is via the package pdfx.sty authored by CV Radhakrishnan and Han The Thanh. This in turn uses some other files such as xmpincl.sty. I wonder if this setup could be incorporated into some flavor of Context? Or even pdftex? I prefer not to live within the strictures of pdflatex. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Hello Taco > Normally, you would do \setupfloat[figure][after=] but that does not > seem to work very well for side floats, sorry. > Thanks for trying to help! :) Actually, I discovered from "It's in details" that \placefigure[inner, low]{ } is ok for my situation. Another questions is: how to setup "low" parameter for all figures globally? Regards, Vyatcheslav
