How to know the text was to big
by Cecil Westerhof 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

I want to create a pdf-document which has severall frames in which user supplied data has to be put. I have two questions about this: - How can I use parameters to fill the boxes? - When one or more of the supplied texts does not fit its frame the pdf document is 'corrupt'. How can I see that at least one of the texts did not fit its frame? -- Cecil Westerhof

reducing the space after the enumeration heading
by Curiouslearn 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hello All, I have defined the following enumeration: \defineenumeration [Problem] [location=top, text=Problem, between=\blank, before=\blank, after=\blank] Now for one of the problems, I want the heading "Problem 13" to appear not on the top, but on the left. So before this particular problem I entered \setupenumerations[Problem][location=left,stopper=:] \Problem (From book XYZ) The issue is that there is a big space between words "Problem 13:" and "(From book XYZ)". How can I reduce this space so that it is equal to the standard spacing? Thank you.

Hi, Looks like I found a misprint in cont-eni manual. On page 178, \setuphead[chapter][+1] should be \setupheadnumber[chapter][+1] Regards, Vyatcheslav

Hello, I found a bug (?) with \setupfloat[figure][indentnext=yes] If I do Some Text \placefigure[middle]{}{...} Some Text then it's ok, but if Some Text \placefigure[inner]{}{...} Some Text then the next paragraph is NOT indented. It looks ugly, please, fix this or tell me what i'm doing wrong. Regards, Vyatcheslav

Re: [NTG-context] Math setup with Times (Termes)
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 13 Nov '09

Thank you everybody very much, esp. Mojca! You almost saved my life! ) In spite of previously said, I don't like mixing Termes with Times New Roman, because e.g. "M" in math looks rather like bold "M" in the text. But I made a hack which works for me: { name = "timesi.ttf", vector = "tex-mi-txpx2", skewchar=0x7F }, I just replaced texgyretermes-italic.otf with timesi.ttf. Unfortunatelly, I cannot modify the first line too, because some greek letters are missed then, but I believe one day I could manage this ) mathematics.make_font ( "tx-math", { { name = "texgyretermes-regular.otf", features = "virtualmath", main = true }, { name = "rtxr.tfm", vector = "tex-mr" } , { name = "rtxmi.tfm", vector = "tex-mi-txpx1", skewchar=0x7F }, { name = "timesi.ttf", vector = "tex-mi-txpx2", skewchar=0x7F }, { name = "txsy.tfm", vector = "tex-sy", skewchar=0x30, parameters = true } , { name = "txex.tfm", vector = "tex-ex", extension = true } , { name = "txsya.tfm", vector = "tex-ma" }, { name = "txsyb.tfm", vector = "tex-mb" }, } ) Perfect for the moment! Thanks again! Best regards, Vyatcheslav

Changing the formatting of Natural Tables
by Curiouslearn 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Hello, I am using natural tables to make tables in my document. Can someone please tell me how I can prevent context from applying features I choose for an earlier table to a table that appears later in the document. Following is an example of two tables. Even though I choose \setupTABLE[frame=off] for the second table, there is a frame created based on what I define for an earlier table. I am using MKII (since I want to use Tikz). I would really appreciate any help. Example: \setuplayout[letter,height= 9in,width=5.5in,topspace=1in,header=1cm,backspace=1.5in] % Changing the location of the page numbers so that they appear in the footer. \setuppagenumbering[location=footer] \setupcolors[state=start] \setupcolor[xwi] \starttext %%%%%% First Table %%%%%% \setupTABLE[frame=off] \setupTABLE[column][3,4,5][align={middle,lohi},width=0.6in] \setupTABLE[column][2][align=lohi] \setupTABLE[row][3][align={lohi,middle}] \setupTABLE[3,4,5][3,4,5][background=color,backgroundcolor=ivory,framecolor=midnightblue,frame=on] % Using color names from xwi colorscheme \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD[nc=3] {\bf Player 2} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD $ L $ \eTD \bTD $ M $ \eTD \bTD $ R $ \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=3,width=1in] {\bf Player 1} \eTD \bTD $ U $ \eTD \bTD (8,8) \eTD \bTD (0,9) \eTD \bTD (0,0) \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $ C $ \eTD \bTD (9,0) \eTD \bTD (0,0) \eTD \bTD (3,1) \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD $ D $ \eTD \bTD (0,0) \eTD \bTD (1,3) \eTD \bTD (3,3) \eTD \eTR \eTABLE %%%%%% Second Table %%%%%% Even though I repeat {\tt \\setupTABLE[frame=off]} command the table has frame. \setupTABLE[frame=off] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD[nc=2] Player 2 \eTD \bTD \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD C \eTD \bTD D \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nr=2] Player 1 \eTD \bTD C \eTD \bTD (2,2) \eTD \bTD (0,4) \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD D \eTD \bTD (4,0) \eTD \bTD (1,1) \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext

The problems I see are miktex executables which are in the PATH and can interfere with their context aequivalents. How exactly are you starting scite? Wolfgang

Hello Hans, >> And I'd prefer italic latin letters to be taken from it, not from >> Termes. > > well, then you have to write your own vectors ... support for all > those platform fonts is not on the agenda (at least not on mine) ... > of course open type math fonts on platfotms are supported. OK, I will be completely happy if I have Termes letters in formulas. They are indistinguishable from Times New Roman in this case. P.S. I could write vectors, if someone explained me how to do it ;) Vyatcheslav

enabling pdftex's microtypographic features with variant old style figures
by Oliver Heins 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

With the help of Patrick's otfinstall I've installed a font for use with pdftex/mark ii. this works fine so far, but i want to use the microtypographic features not only for the base font, but for the old style figures variant, too. \usetypescriptfile[type-corporate] \usetypescript[corporate] \setupfontsynonym[Serif][handling=pure] \setupfontsynonym[Sans][handling=pure] \definetypeface[corporate][rm][serif][corporate][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[corporate][ss][sans][corporate][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[corporate][tt][mono][modern] [default][rscale=1.12] \definetypeface[corporate][mm][math][iwona] [default][rscale=1.02] \setupfonthandling[hz][min=25,max=25,step=5] \usetypescript[sans][hanging][normal] % this creates the 'handling' synonyms \usetypescript[serif][hanging][normal] % this creates the 'handling' synonyms \usetypescript[sans][hz][quality] % this creates the 'handling' synonyms \usetypescript[serif][hz][quality] % this creates the 'handling' synonyms \setupbodyfont[corporate,ss,10pt] %\Var[osf] This works for normal figures, but when I switch to osf with \Var[osf] there is no protrusion nor font expansion.
