xhtml form to pdf form?
by Andy 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hello, I want to know if ConTeXt can convert xhtml form to pdf form? I learned some examples in Garden wiki about typesetting html files using ConTeXt. But they just translate the form tag to empty. Is there any ConTeXt way to handle forms just like the \form commands in latex package hyperref? Thanks. Andy.

Hello, I need bold and capital heads.The following gives me caps only, not bold: \setuphead [headname][ incrementnumber=list, number=no, align=right, style=cap,bold] What's wrong? How to mix cap, bold (and, probably, small) into head setup? Vyatcheslav

font switch in 'style' stopped working
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

Thank you, Hans. luatools --generate eliminated the error. But, font switch in 'style' stopped working. For example, \definehead[faculty][chapter] \setuphead [faculty][ incrementnumber=list, page=yes, number=no, align=middle, style=\bfb] produces bold but normal size font. \tfa also gives normal font. Help! Vyatcheslav

Tables query (MKII, latest beta)
by Bowen Alan C. 26 Mar '09

26 Mar '09

I have a simple, multi-page table that is currently defined by \setuptables[bodyfont=9pt] \starttables[|l|p(15pc)|] The problem is that the text in the cells on the right that have more than one line is set almost solid and is often too close to the next row. So how can I adjust/control the vertical spacing both between and within rows? \setuptables[bodyfont=9pt,\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]] gets: ! Missing \endcsname inserted. <to be read again> \def \doifnextoptionalelse #1#2->\def \nextoptionalcommandyes {#1}\def \nextoptio... <argument> \setupinterlinespace [line \dosetvalue #1#2->\@EA \def \csname #1#2 \endcsname \p!doassign ...r \else \@EAEAEA #1\fi \fi {#2}{#3} {#4} \xprocesscommaitem ...@relax@ #1==\empty \@relax@ \@EAEAEA \xprocesscommaite... ... l.397 ...font=9pt,\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex] ] I apologize if this is a FAQ: my review of the wiki and of core- tab.tex has been most instructive, but not on this issue.
