two newbie questions (about conditional processing)
by Yue Wang 25 May '09

25 May '09

Hi, I have a new book to design, but I don't know how to do page/content conditional processing). Please help me:) - I want my chapter page (first page of each chapter) to be really distinctive. that is, I define a dark color background, and want all the text on the first page set in white. how can I do that? for example \chapter{hello} \dorecurse{10}{\input zapf } % all the characters in the first page should white, others should set in black. - I want to insert graphics and images. all the graphics are inserted using \placeexternalfigures. I want all the pages where the insertion happens to be quite distictive (that is, have a very narrow text layout, and leave the large margin for the figures. However, when a page starts, TeX does not know wheter or not an external figure will be placed on this page, so it really has no idea whether this page should be set narrower or not..... how can I do that? Thanks. Yue Wang

hyphenation
by Henning Hraban Ramm 25 May '09

25 May '09

Ahoi, (1) there's an ongoing thread on the German mailing list (TeX-D-L), if it would be possible to implement weighted(?) hyphenation, i.e. that some breaks are better than other, e.g. Do-nau---dampf--schiff---fahrt Wa-ren---wirt--schaft Eu-ro-pa---par-la--ment (In InDesign I can suggest such priorities if I add words to the user dictionary.) (2) Uses ConTeXt the same hyphenation algorithm as LaTeX? Or one of the newer projects? (perhaps SiSiSi?) (3) Further, I wonder why \hyphenation{} is case dependend - in my last project "Secretary General" was wrongly hyphenated, but \hyphenation{se-cre-ta-ry} didn't fix it, I needed \hyphenation{Se-cre- ta-ry}. Does that make sense? Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Previous chapter from new font chapter
by Maurício 24 May '09

24 May '09

Hi, Right in the main wiki page I read the current 'fonts' chapter pdf of the new revision of user's manual. It says at item 1.5.1: Remember how in the previous chapter there were the tables that listed all the predefined combinations? It was said (...) Where can I find such previous chapter? I understand it shows a way to list all predefined typefaces available, is that correct? Thanks, Maurício

dot and comma in two consecutive cases
by Xan 24 May '09

24 May '09

Hi, I have this: \startformula z_k = \startcases \NC x_k \MC 1 \leq k \leq N \NR \NC y_{k-N} \MC N+1 \leq k < N+M \NR \stopcases t_k = \startcases \NC r_k \MC 1 \leq k \leq N \NR \NC s_{k-N} \MC N+1 \leq k < N+M \NR \stopcases \stopformula but I want to punctuate that. When I do: \startformula z_k = \startcases \NC x_k \MC 1 \leq k \leq N \NR \NC y_{k-N} \MC N+1 \leq k < N+M \NR \stopcases, t_k = \startcases \NC r_k \MC 1 \leq k \leq N \NR \NC s_{k-N} \MC N+1 \leq k < N+M \NR \stopcases. \stopformula the dot and the comma appear too much separate from cases. How can I get the "normal behaviour"? Thanks in advance, Xan.

How to make a stretched pdf file
by Zhichu Chen 23 May '09

23 May '09

Hi guys, This may sound crazy, but I have to do a presentation with a stretched output. The thing is, I have a laptop with a normal screen, and it'll be plugged to a very big wide screen monitor so that people can see the slides on the big screen. I have to look at my laptop and present for the people, so what I'm thinking is make a stretched output on my 4:3 screen which looks very narrowed and then the effect on the screen will be just as normal. Is there an easy option for this? -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Re: [NTG-context] loading figure in LuaTeX
by polytope 21 May '09

21 May '09

Thank you for help. It worked if I use the absolute path in LuaTeX, but it is not working in ConTeXt and XeConTeXt. On the otherhand, the relative path is working in ConTeXt and XeConTeXt but in LuaTeX. I'll do more tests. Is it normal? Anyway, I got the result. Thank you again. Best regards, Dalyoung
