I know everyone is preparing for fun in Bohinj (and I am gutted that I am missing it this year) but it would be really great if someone had the chance to work out how to fix this problem: \starttext I wish I was going to the ConTeXt\index{ConTeXt} meeting this year to enjoy all the fun\seeindex{ConTeXt}{also fun}. \placeindex \stoptext I get output like this: -- I wish I was going to the ConTeXt meeting this year to enjoy all the fun. c ConTeXt see also fun 1 -- But I want this: --I wish I was going to the ConTeXt meeting this year to enjoy all the fun. c ConTeXt 1 see also fun -- Why is the page number of the first index entry attaching itself to the "see" subentry instead of the top level entry? Is it my syntax, or is it a bug? Thank you... Duncan

XY-arranging

Hi Guru's In the pdftex environment the enclosed file will result in an address- label on position 8 from the top on a sheet with 14 labels. When compiling this file with LuaTeX, then the label is placed somewhere down left and the dimensions are messed up. I am stummied... Currently I am using : ConTeXt ver: 2008.08.11 11:45 MKIV fmt: 2008.8.11 int: english/english Kind regards Willi

Is it possible to have the \blank[2*big] generated by the placecontent command? The default space generated after chapter seems fine, but I'd really like to have a listing of the sections after the chapter. 3. Am I missing something?

Why aren't the paragraphs that have a picture to the right or left indented on the first line? Compare the paragraphs on page1-section1 with those on page2-section3. 7. Why aren't the the urls broken across lines, page2-3. I'm pretty sure the hyperref package in latex supported this. 8. What must I do to the 3rd paragraph on the first page to get it to space properly? It's far too close to the previous one. 9. the d in "praised" protrudes to the margin, how do I stop this.

test files for Xindy (was Re: [Context] Xindy)

I've found some old post from Xindy list (Jan 2003) with some interesting info: "I have completed my project to demonstrate the use of Xindy in conjunction with Context. The results are available in the following (identical) collections of files: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/culleton.zip http://wexfordpress.com/tex/culleton.tar.gz I look forward to a more elegant implementation by a more elegant programmer. But mine works for now. :-) Anyone who needs to index a non-English document in Context (or pdfetex or whatever) need only create an alphabet file and proceed onward." So, if some ConTeXt expert can take a look and improve it, maybe we are not far from having full Xindy support in ConTeXt.

The first example works. The result is: "Goldstein (2003)" but unfortunately it is impossible to combine it with the [extras={:95}] option to get the page number behind the citation. If you type \cite [authoryear][extras={:95}] it won't work. Although I've tried it with the [authoryear,page] nothing works. The result of the second example is "Goldstein (vgl. 2003)". I've tried to use the left={} option instead, but nothing changed. \setupcite [authoryear] [pubsep={, }, lastpubsep={ und }, compress=yes, inbetween={}, left={(vgl. }, right={)}] still leads to the result Goldstein (vgl. 2003) when I type in the command \cite [authoryear][G:2003]. It seems to be impossible to place something (like "vgl.") in front of the name of the author and inside of the brackets like (vgl. Goldstein 2003:95) I couldn't find anything specific about these problems in the bib-manual. Perhaps you or someone else can help me? Regards Martin

fitting a picture to the available space
by Thomas A. Schmitz 12 Sep '08

12 Sep '08

Hi guys, I'm pulling my hair out. I'm trying to set up an automatism to fit pictures to the available space on a slide. I need to consider three parameters: 1. If the user supplies a value for width= or height= , use this value (captured in a macro); 2. respect the maxwidth and maxheight which must not exceed the frame; 3. if the picture is smaller than the available space, blow it up so that it reaches the maxwidth or maxheight (but doesn't exceed either). factor=max or =fit does not work because it allows pictures to exceed one of the maximum values. About a year ago Giuseppe Bilotta wrote a message which I append; it describes my problem. Is there a generic solution for this problem? If there is, I'll gladly take it; if there isn't, I thought I had a solution but may need help with expanding and conditionals, then I'll be back with more questions. Anyway, good night all, and thanks.

Hallo, I asked this question a week ago, but got no answer. Does anybody know what is 'frameoffset' for? I can not see any difference with and without this parameter. ---------------------------------- \setupcolors[state=start] \definetextbackground[strong] [backgroundcolor=lightgray, location=paragraph, frame=on, frameoffset=5mm] \starttext bla \starttextbackground[strong] zack \stoptextbackground blub \stoptext ------------------------------------ Wolfgang
