Re: [NTG-context] placefigure[right] draws figures inside framed text (Willi Egger)

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

placefigure[right] draws figures inside framed text
by Jos van Gisbergen 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hello, I'm using framed text to display verbatim sourse code. The frame should use the entire textwidth, so I use width=broad. A problem occurs when I use a figure placed at the right side of the page, before a framed text section: the figure is drawn *inside* the frame. With non-framed text everything works fine. I include an example. It consists of a d.tex file and METAPOST file a.mp. To reproduce the problem, first convert a.mp to a-1.pdf using the mptopdf utility. Then texexec --pdf d.tex ------------ d.tex ------------- \starttext Whran crmpqcayng lqyruas crnaqynyng cralls ahqa yncludra fyxrad shqpras, rvrarcrnsarqynas mqy yssura qs q crnsraqurancra rf hyrarqrchy-rvrarlqp rulras brayng qpplyrad braawraran such fyxrad shqpras.

That is, I would read and save their values consecutively in the same Lua function so that they would refer to the ConTeXt source line currently being processed by the ConTeXt engine. Now you say that ConTeXt may not be reading from a file at that level. That I can accept (being a non-expert), but status.linenumber always returns the correct line number for the ConTeXt file being processed (even if the file is being \input from another file). It seems to me that if the line number within the source file is accurate, then the file's name should be accurate, too. Thank you, Tad

pretty C with MKIV
by Peter Münster 08 Jul '09

08 Jul '09

Hello, Unfortunately, I've no time (and perhaps also not the know-how) to write a pret-c.lua. What would be the easiest way, to do C pretty printing? (I've tried t-vim.tex, but it seems to be broken: ERROR: I can't find file `test-vimsyntax.tmp-vimsyntax.tmp'.) TIA for any help! Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Proper way to point removed text?
by Maurício 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

What is the proper way in english printing to show that some text has been removed from a quote? In (brazilian) Portuguese, we use [...], for instance: Depois de mencionadas outras questões, comentou-se o ocorrido. can quoted as [...] comentou-se o ocorrido. Is there a name for that? Thanks, Maurício

context installation on Windows XP
by Philip Brown 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

I am having touble installling CONTEX (and metafun) on Windows XP. I downloaded and installed Texlive. I am able to run Latex and some other programs, but I tried various ways, unsuccesfully, to run context. For example I tried running texmfstart texexec.rb hello.tex and some other combinations, and nothing happened. I went to the PRAGMA-ADE website and downoaded cont-tmf into the texmf-local directory and unzipped it. Then I tried texexec -make -all and a few other combinatins and nothing happened. I have Perl v5.10 installed, and I use editor EMACS with AUCTEX assistance would be much appreciated, Philip Brown

figure captions in the margin
by Richard Weickelt 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hello, I want to have captions for figures, listings and other stuff inside the document margin. I saw that someone asked a very similar question 3 years ago: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20061025.211202.c2e04f8c.en.html > > Does somebody know whether it is possible and how it is possible to > > place the caption of a figure in the margin? > > > yes, actually i implemented this last week but i need to update the > details manual; captions can go in margins, hang in centered figures, there > is support for all kind of inner/outer alignments etc Hans said, that he had already implemented that feature, but in fact it still doesn't work. So the code \setupcaptions[location=outermargin] \starttext \placefigure{Caption}{\framed{Figuur}} \stoptext still prints no caption at all. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and ConTeXt from the repositories. Is this version too old? Thank You.

Hans, would you like me to submit this as a luatex bug? Tad
