\vspace
by Wolfgang Schuster 26 Nov '09

Hi Hans, can you add a \vspace command which behaves like \hspace but for vertical mode, there are some cases where \blank is not so well suited (i know the \??vs namespace is already used by \blank) \def\definevspace {\dotripleempty\dodefinevspace} \def\dodefinevspace[#1][#2][#3]% {\ifthirdargument \setvalue{\??vs#1:#2}{#3}% \else \setvalue{\??vs:#1}{#2}% \fi} \unexpanded\def\vspace {\dodoubleempty\dohspace} \def\dovspace[#1][#2]% {\ifsecondargument \dodovspace[#1][#2]% \else\iffirstargument \vspace[][#1]% \else \vspace[][\s!default]% \fi\fi} \def\dodovspace[#1][#2]% {\vskip\vspaceamount{#1}{#2}} \def\vspaceamount#1#2% {\executeifdefined{\??vs#1:#2}{\executeifdefined{\??vs:#2}\zeropoint}} Wolfgang

redirecting temp files (MkII)
by Jelle Huisman 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi all, I use the XeTeX/ConTeXt MkII combi as part of another application. This (Windows) application is installed in the C:\Program Files tree which apparently is marked 'read only' in Vista/Windows 7. Would it be possible to redirect the temp files (*.top, *tui, *.log, *.mp) to a different folder outside C:\Program Files\ ? Texexec.rb comes with an option --tempdir= but that doesn't work. Thanks, Jelle

Why does the following does not center the text? I am choosing a letter size paper which is 8.5 inches wide. I have both margins at 1.5in and all other distances equal to 0 in. Should the text be not centered. Thanks. \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuplayout[leftmargin=1.5in,rightmargin=1.5in,leftedge=0in,rightedge=0in,leftmargindistance=0in,rightmargindistance=0in,leftedgedistance=0in,rightedgedistance=0in,width=5.5in] \starttext \showlayout \input tufte \stoptext

hyphenation problem using |-| in composed words -- bug?
by Oliver Heins 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi, when using |-| in a word as a non exclusive dash, this produces wrong hyphenation. For example, the word »longer-word-to-be-hyphenated« should be hyphenated e.g. like this: longer- word- to- be- hy- phen- ated but actually it is hyphenated like this: longer -word -to -be -hy- phen- ated Using || instead of |-| works like expected, so using it in combination with \setuphyphenmark[sign=normal] could be considered a workaround. Sadly, that produces the same bad result. :-( Here's a minimal example: %\setuphyphenmark[sign=normal] \starttext \hsize 1em longer|-|word|-|to|-|be|-|hyphenated longer||word||to||be||hyphenated \stoptext TIA, olli -- Oliver Heins heins(a)sopos.org http://oliverheins.net/ http://blog.overheins.net/ F27A BA8C 1CFB B905 65A8 http://scriptorium-adp.de/ 2544 0F07 B675 9A00 D827 1024D/9A00D827 2004-09-24 -- gpg --recv-keys 0x9A00D827 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html

How to show footer only with chapter head
by Elliot Clifton 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hi, I have page numbers and chapter headings displayed in my document's header. The header is suppressed on a page with a chapter head i.e. \setuphead[chapter][header=high] therefore I want a footer on these pages to display the page number. The footer should disabled on all other pages. I've tried, \setuphead[chapter][footer=normal] but it overrides \setupfooter[state=none] everywhere, not only on chapter pages. Any ideas? TIA, Elliot
