I don't understand it; it's like another magic trick ) \setuppapersize [A5][A5] \setuplayout[topspace=2cm, header=0cm, footer=0.6cm, bottomspace=2cm, height=fit, backspace=1.5cm, cutspace=2cm, width=middle] @Taco: what's wrong with it then?

local footnote (Tables) problem
by Bowen Alan C. 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

After further experimentation, I am still stumped; so I am resending this. The attached file will compile only if I comment out (a) header=2pc in \setuplayout or (b) \setupbodyfont[lmodern,rm,10.5pt] or (c) \placelegend or (d) \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth} I am running MK2 using the penultimate beta in the ConTeXt Minimals. There is no improvement when I run the file on the ConteXt wiki (latest beta). Any help will be greatly appreciated. Alan

the meaning of cutspace
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hello, I need to set up 1.5cm/2cm page borders. Backspace in layout setup gives me expected result (distance from page to the text). According to the wiki, cutspace should do the same for opposite side of the page, but it doesnt. So, I cannot get the meaning of cutspace. \setuplayout[topspace=2cm, header=0cm, footer=0.6cm, bottomspace=2cm, height=fit, %leftmargin=1.5cm, rightmargin=2cm, backspace=1.5cm, cutspace=2cm, width=fit] \setuppagenumbering[location={footer,middle}, alternative=doublesided, style=\tfx] \showlayout\showsetups\showframe \bye Regards, Vyatcheslav

Actually, i tried \indent to produce indent, but it was treated as wrong keyword. Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] setupsystem command with an example

The following is an example. Randomization occurs with MKII, but not with MKIV. \setupsystem[random=123] \starttext \startitemize[a,random] \startitem This is item 1 \stopitem \startitem This is item 2 \stopitem \startitem This is item 3 \stopitem \startitem This is item 4 \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext On Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 1:42 PM, curiouslearn <curiouslearn(a)gmail.com>wrote: > I wanted to bring this to your attention.

Hello all, i´m new to the mailing list. i posted a few questions on the mailing list for a while but got never an answer. The last thing i posted was in the [NTG-context] BibTeX/Publications thread: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20091115.194137.4395932d.en.html it seems that i make something wrong with posting because i get always ignored (see following discussion on in the mail...). Please can somebody write back only that i can by certain that my messages become properly posted - thanks. best regards Bernhard

Hi all! I've two or more problems with bibliographies: 1) look at the attached attachment, the first brace. 2) @book{b, title={B Titel B}, author={Brüser}, % error -> ü!!! year={2000}, publisher={VS Verlag} } 3) I want "just get a typeset version of the used database" (without \cite[a,b,c,d]), how to achieve this? Many thanks and greetings Andreas

texexec for latex?
by Adam Megacz 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hello folks, Does anybody know if there is something like "texexec" for latex users? Specifically, I'm hoping for a single command that runs the pdflatex/bibtex combination as many times as is required to reach a fixed point. Thanks, - a

Indent missed after \placefigure[inner]
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hello, I've asked about this issue already, but probably my cry for help was missed ) After I include a grapichs with \placefigure[inner], the next paragraph is not indented. This looks very strange, because the figure floats at a side, and nothing suggests that new paragraph begins. I'm forced to issue \hskip0.7cm to imitate the indent. With \placefigure[middle], everything is OK because I use some magic setup kindly suggested by Wolfgang: \setupfloat[figure][indentnext=yes] Maybe I should expand this setup with other keywords? Pleaase, see attached image for illustration. This is an excerpt from my code: %-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Передбачається використання певної системи одиниць виміру, скажемо, метричної, так що одиниця довжини точно визначена. Відповідність між точками тривимірного евклідового простору і їхніх координат може бути задано або радіусом-вектором \startformula r = \overline {OP} = x{e_x} + y{e_y} + z{e_z}, \stopformula де ${e_x}, {e_y}, {e_z}$ — одиничні вектори осей, або матрицями: координатним рядком $[x, y, z]$ або координатним вектором-стовпцем $ \left| {\matrix{ x \cr y \cr z \cr } } \right|, $ причому координати $х$, $у$ і $z$ точки {\it Р} у цій системі координат задаються як довжини (з відповідним знаком) перпендикулярних проекцій вектора {\it OP} на вектори $i$, $j$ і $k$ (рис.2.4). \placefigure[inner]{ } {\externalfigure[image219.png][scale=900]} \hskip0.7cm У машинній графіці широко застосовуються однорідні координати, які дозволяють {\it n}--мірний об'єкт представити в $(n+1)$--мірному просторі, шляхом додавання ще однієї координати — скалярного множника. Однорідні координати є основними в проективній геометрії, у машинній графіці вони зручний штучний прийом, що дозволяє привести до лінійної форми перспективні зображення. Однорідні координати дають можливість записувати невласні (нескінченно вилучені) точки простору, а також виражати афінні перетворення в зручній матричній формі, уникаючи переповнення розрядної сітки ЕОМ за рахунок нормалізації чисел [2]. P.S. Is there a keyword that produces an indent? (like \makeindent) P.S. If no, how can I specify that I want big horizontal skip instead of a number as in \hskip0.7cm ? Regards, Vyatcheslav
