highlighting chars on a path
by Aurelien Giraud 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hello, I am new to ConTeXt and I have looked on the internet for a way to do something special. Unfortunately I have not found any solution. I hope this is the right place for such a question. I apologise otherwise. I would like to highlight (e.g. put in bold, or change the color...) any character on a page which sits on a chosen path. I would like to be able to position for instance an invisible circle on a page and have all the characters "in contact" with this circle change color so that the circle become visible via these characters. Is it something I could do with ConTeXt? Thanks in advance. Aurelien

[MP] labels of points on a circle
by dalyoung 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hi all, To draw 9 points with labels, I used the following code. \startbuffer[point2] path p; numeric i; i=1; for j =0.5,1.3,2.5,3,4,4.8,6,7.2,7.9: z[i] = dir(j*45) scaled 4cm; i:= i+1; endfor; p := z1..z2..z3..z4..z5..z6..z7..z8..z9..cycle; draw p; drawpoints p; drawpointlabels p; \stopbuffer \placefigure[middle][]{}{\processMPbuffer[point2]} Then it draw everything well except writing labels inside the circle. How can I write the labels of the points outside of the circle? I'd like to draw 9 points randomly on a circle. Is there a nice way to do it? Thank you. Best regards, Dalyoung

Combining \sc and \em
by Tim Wraight 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Hi, Under the latest beta (2009.10.02 13:14), it doesn't seem possible to access \SerifCapsSlanted by combining the \em and \sc font switches. The following test case demonstrates this: --- \definefont [SlantyCaps][SerifCapsSlanted] \starttext {\em Italics works.} \par {\sc Small caps works.} \par {\em \sc But how do we combine them?} \par {\SlantyCaps Except like this?} \stoptext --- A project I'm working on has certain words which always appear in smallcaps, and I'd like them to be italicised if the context demands it (no pun intended). Greetings from London, Tim

Yes, this works. But my example was too simple. I actually have: \starttables[|p(5cm)|lI|] \NC hmm \NC bla \NC\MR \stoptables and this one \starttables[o0|i(3cm)p(5cm)|lI|] \NC hmm \NC bla \NC\MR \stoptables does not work. I don't understand what is going on here! Wolfgang

framed and footnotes
by Wolfgang Murth 18 Oct '09

18 Oct '09

Hi, I tried to put a footnote in a framed box, but the text of the footnote is not shown. Is that normal? Below you find a minimal sample of what I tried. I'm using mkiv 2009.10.02. %================================================================= \definecolor [caution] [r=1, g=.78, b=.62] \def\cautionbox#1{ \framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=caution,framecolor=red,align=normal,width=\textwidth]{#1}} \startbuffer \input tufte \stopbuffer \starttext \cautionbox{\getbuffer} \cautionbox{\getbuffer\footnote{And now a little footnote} \par\getbuffer} But as the text continues\footnote{And now a BIG footnote}. \stoptext %================================================================= Best regards Wolfgang Murth

index entries inside footnotes
by Thomas A. Schmitz 18 Oct '09

18 Oct '09

Hi all, for the book project I'm typesetting, I need two indexes. I discovered that there is a slight problem with index entries in footnotes in mkiv. Here's a minimal example: \starttext Cats\index{cats} \index{cats}and \footnote[1]{dogs\index{dogs} and} more \index{dogs}dogs. \placeregister[index] \stoptext This gives the expected result in mkii; in mkiv, a spurious comma is added in front of the entry "dogs," which occurs inside a footnote. (btw, ideally I would like the index to have "1 n. 1" - can this be achieved?) All best Thomas

It is fixed now in the cvs trunk and will hopefully make it soon to the minimals binary distribution. Thanks Taco for the fix and Luigi for helping me figure out how to pinpoint the bug! Alan
