How to get the number of lines of a paragraph?
by Wei-Wei Guo 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Dear all, I need to draw underlines under a paragraph. The number of underlines is determined by the number of lines of the paragraph. For example: If the paragraph have one line: text of paragraph, blur blur. ---------------------------------------------------------- If the paragraph have two lines: text of paragraph, blur blur blur blur blur blur blur blur ---------------------------------------------------------- blur blur blur blur blur blur blur blur. ---------------------------------------------------------- Another question: How can I set the header of the pages of contents? Thanks! Best wishes, Wei-Wei

I don't know about "helvetica" since it's broken at the moment, but with \usetypescript[palatino] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] the labels inside the mindmap are already typeset in "gyre palatino" here. What version of ConTeXt/LuaTeX/TikZ do you use? In MKII the colors are broken though. Hans? Has anything changed in color handling mechanism recently? I don't know whether I need to bribe you or Till Tantau to fix the issue. (But I need to admit that I didn't update ConTeXt in the last few days.) Mojca

Multiple Page Backgrounds
by Design Department 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I have a need for multiple repeating page backgrounds: an imported PDF document and one or more dynamically generated items that are layered on top. I've found a discussion in the archives from January 2006, but it hasn't helped. \setupbackgrounds[page][background=Letterhead,DisclaimerWatermark,SignatureBlock,DocumentStatus] doesn't work, only the last layer defined shows (each of the dynamic backgrounds is defined as a layer.) Does the plural in setupbackgrounds not mean multiple backgrounds? If so, is there a stacking order (the imported PDF letterhead may have an opaque background)? Also, the first document page requires a table and text block side-by-side. I probably could use a float for the text block, but wanted to use a layer. Am I approaching this the wrong way? -- david

identation question
by frantisek holop 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

hi there, this is a quickie for the gurus: i would like to get an "inverted" identation, where the first line is not inverted but all the others are: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Pellentesque nibh ipsum, consectetur sit amet, pellentesque eget, egestas ac, ligula. Praesent ut sapien vel est pulvinar fringilla. Sed bibendum fermentum ante. Proin ipsum. Nulla in risus. Praesent nunc elit, laoreet at, viverra at, dapibus vel, purus. Mauris quis tellus. Nulla pharetra nulla quis lectus cursus placerat. In quis purus. Suspendisse molestie viverra elit. Nam eget tortor. Integer convallis erat rhoncus turpis. thanks, -f -- some are wise; others are otherwise....

Multi-line headers
by Design Department 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I need a multi-line header in the right page corner, with content right-aligned. \setupheadertexts[nothing on left][line 1 \par line 2] doesn't work. Is using a \vbox the correct method of handling this? If so, how? \setupheadertexts[nothing on left][\vbox{line 1 \blank line 2] puts the header in the left corner. -- david

Re: [NTG-context] new beta
by وفا خلیقی 08 Apr '09

Hi Hans Thanks for the code so that we can use fonts in Plain and LaTeX. I just had two questions 1- I got the code from Khaled. How can I get the beta myself from your repository? I just joined ConTeXt mailing list. 2- Your code works fine but if in LaTeX, I compile a document like %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \documentclass{article} \pagedir TRT \bodydir TRT \pardir TRT \textdir TRT \directlua { dofile(kpse.find_file("luatex-fonts.lua","tex")) } \font\body=file:XBZar.ttf:mode=node;script=arab;language=ara;+init;+medi;+fina;+liga;+rlig;+mark;+mkmk at 14pt \def\normalfont{\body} \AtBeginDocument{\body} \begin{document} این یک آزمایش است که در حال وقوع است. \section{مقدمه} \end{document} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Then it gives this error ! LuaTeX error /home/vafa/texmf/tex/luatex-fonts/font-def.lua:337: attempt to c all field 'read_from_afm' (a nil value). <to be read again> relax l.16 \section{مقدمه} ? Do you know how I can resolve this issue. The issue is when you use \section and similarly when you use \chapter, \textbf, \begin{....} \end{.....} If I can resolve this, Then I will be writting a LaTeX interface for the fonts.

TikZ, MKIV and font switching
by Renaud Aubin 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi folks, I would use TikZ/mindmap to make some figures for a paper. Since I have to install TikZ, I have updated my minimals yesterday and began to really use MKIV. My problem is that when I process \enableregime[utf8] \useencoding[ffr] \mainlanguage[fr] \usetypescript[helvetica][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[helvetica,12pt] \setupcolors[state=start] \usemodule[tikz] \usetikzlibrary[mindmap] \starttext \input knuth \starttikzpicture[font=\nofont,mindmap,text=white, root concept/.style={concept color=blue}, level 1 concept/.append style= {every child/.style={concept color=blue!50}}] \node [concept] {Root Concept} child[grow=30] {node[concept] {child}} child[grow=0 ] {node[concept] {child}}; \stoptikzpicture \input tufte \stoptext the font switching is OK for the "\input ***" things but not for the embedded text. That's probably due to my lack of knowledge of TikZ but I have just found nothing usefull (nothing evident even in the pgf manual) about font switching within TikZ pictures with ConTeXt... (This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.37.0-2009040617 (Web2C 7.5.7)) Best regards, Renaud

how to make a coverpage?
by Jos van Gisbergen 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi, I'm experimenting with context for a few weeks now and am impressed by its possibilities and clean results. However, everything I want to try out seems to take a lot of trial and error to get right. Especially creating a titlepage for a book, a backgound picture covering the entire page with some text on it -- I cannot for the life of me figure out how it's done. Even after googling many hours and perusing the manuals. I've tried permutations of layers, overlays and setupbackgrounds within and without {start/stop}standardmakeup -- nothing quite does it. Can somebody please show me a simple example of how to create a book cover with a picture covering the entire page and a title text on it? Thanks in advance, Trychius
