\setuppagenumbering[]
by Ciro Soto 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Page numbering in roman style is not working for me. What could the problem be? I get the numbers in the footer, but it prints in Arabic numbers (1,2,3 ...). This is the command I use: \setuppagenumbering[conversion=romannumerals] thank you Ciro -- Links of your interest: http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~cirosoto/ http://www.TheGuitarMakerExploration.com http://www.myspace.com/sotoaguirre

Duotones with spot colors
by Piotr Kopszak 10 Jul '09

10 Jul '09

Hello list, I am preparing for a next project which will be printed in two colours. Obviously, perfect opportunity to use duotones. However I got my duotone illustrations in CMYK tiffs with images in yellow and black channels. Obviously black could stay but I would like to convert the yellow channel to the spot colour I am going to use. Any ideas (without using Photoshop) ? Many thanks in advance Piotr -- http://okle.pl

Extra Whitespace in Footer.
by Stirling Westrup 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Thanks to the help I've been getting, I've almost got my layout working. The only remaining problem seems to be that the footer automatically inserts some whitespace above my framed text. The intent is for it to be flush to the top of the footer. What do I need to change? \setupcolors[state=start] \setupbackground[background=color, backgroundcolor=black] \setuppapersize[letter] \setuplayout [ location=doublesided, marking=on, topspace=1cm, % space at top of page bottomspace=1cm, % space at bottom of page backspace=2cm, % spine side of page cutspace=1cm, % outer side of page header=0cm, footer=2cm, bottom=2cm, margin=0cm, width=middle, height=middle, ] \newbox\FootBox \setbox\FootBox=\hbox { \framed [ align=right, frame=off, topframe=on, width=\textwidth, offset=none, framecolor=blue, ] {\bf \tfxx datasheet:} } \setuplayout[footer=\dimexpr\ht\FootBox+\dp\FootBox] \setupfootertexts[{\copy\FootBox}] \starttext \showframe[text] test \stoptext -- Stirling Westrup Programmer, Entrepreneur. https://www.linkedin.com/e/fpf/77228 http://www.linkedin.com/in/swestrup http://technaut.livejournal.com

Strange Behaviour in \framed
by Stirling Westrup 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

If I try out the following simple .tex script, I end up with a box that is framed everywhere but on the top: \starttext \newbox\FootBox \setbox\FootBox=\hbox { \framed [ align=right , topframe=on , width=\textwidth , offset=none% ] {\tfxx datasheet:} } \copy\FootBox \stoptext Also, I find that if I don't have the '%' after the word none, then it doesn't even compile. -- Stirling Westrup Programmer, Entrepreneur. https://www.linkedin.com/e/fpf/77228 http://www.linkedin.com/in/swestrup http://technaut.livejournal.com

mkiv structure
by Hans Hagen 09 Jul '09

Hi, I was wondering ... the last time quite some nice small test samples were posted for testing the structure code maybe we can set up a repository with such test files (but someone needs to coordinate it) where they can end up after posting and fixing possible errors in the examples; we do need some ordering Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Fraktur symbol in subscript
by curiouslearn 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Hello All, While the \fraktur{C} command works for me in the Math mode as part of a regular expression, it does not work in the subscript. The command I am trying is $ x \sim_{\fraktur{C}} y $. I get a blank in place of the fraktur C. However, if I try just $ x \fraktur{C} y $, it works. Does anyone have a fix? I am using This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.5-2009061123 (Web2C 2009) ConTeXt ver: 2009.06.14 21:01 MKIV fmt: 2009.6.25 int: english/english Thank you very much.

Re: [NTG-context] placefigure[right] draws figures inside framed text (Willi Egger)
by Jos van Gisbergen 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hello Willi, Thanks for your answer. Your suggestion works ... if I would be free to choose the framed text to be 0.5 textwidth. However, the framed text is source code and I do need the entire textwidth because otherwise I'm going to get line wraps and that'll make things look ugly. I expected placefigure[right] to be clever enough to see that there is no room beside the framed text, and either place the figure above it or beneath it. My current workaround is to put the placefigure[right] macro earlier in the flow of text if possible, or use placefigure[force].

Table of Contents with unnumbered Chapters etc
by Robert Blackstone 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hi all, I am struggling, vainly so far, with "list" and "combinedlist", and I hope someone can help me. What I want to do is the following: I am making a bilingual version om some old German text, adding an English translation. As in the original German version, I want to use unnumbered chapters, sections etc. but I still do want a table of contents. I had the impression "unnumbered" can be achieved by using "title", "subject", etc instead of "chapter", "section", etc and still get a table of contents by means of a combined list. But whatever I tried, no list is ever placed anywhere and even \completecombinedlist[contents][level=subject] is seen as an undefined control sequence. I have used ConTeXt from TeXlive-2008 via TeXShop, and Minimals (ConTeXt ver: 2009.06.14 21:01 MKIV) via Terminal, but the result is the same. No doubt I do some things totally wrong but I can't help having a sneaking suspicion that something is wrong with "list"s. I have uploaded a small testfile, which can be downloaded from the following link: http://web.me.com/blackstone.robert/filechute/Wegweiser-testfile-a.tex (In this testfile there are lots of things I tried and subsequently commented out.) Thanks in advance. Robert Blackstone
