Keeping a block of text together, without breaking footnotes, etc.
by Daniel Pittman 16 May '08

16 May '08

G'day. As part of a document I am laying out I have a number of blocks of text that I want to keep together on a single page -- either all before a page break or all after it. I can achieve this using a \vbox, but that has the fairly undesirable property of also preventing footnotes and, presumably, other ConTeXt layout from working as expected. What is the most effective way to achieve this? A good example of what I want follows; in this I want the entire contact form there kept as a single block, not split over pages. The same sort of situation comes up with some explanatory paragraphs and a yes/no question section of the form. \starttext \dorecurse{10} {\bf Contact Details} \starttabulate[|l|p|] \NC Name: \NC \thinrule \NC \AR \NC Address: \NC \thinrules[n=3] \NC \AR \NC Postcode: \NC \thinrule \NC \AR \NC Email: \NC \thinrule \NC \AR \NC Alternate Email: \NC \thinrule \NC \AR \NC Phone (BH): \NC \thinrule \NC \AR \NC Phone (AH): \NC \thinrule \NC \AR \NC Mobile: \NC \thinrule \NC \AR \stoptabulate \starttabulate[|p|l|] \NC Can this contact authorise work? \NC YES / NO \NC \AR \NC Can this contact authorise changes to this agreement? \NC YES / NO \NC \AR \NC Can we contact this person in an emergency? \NC YES / NO \NC \AR \stoptabulate \par} \stoptext I would rather have under-full pages than split the blocks of text -- and I definitely want to preserve the ability to insert footnotes into the running text, to clarify some of the terms or options. Regards, Daniel

Mkiv and braces
by Aditya Mahajan 16 May '08

Hi, I am using ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.13, and in mkiv braces seem to gobble the next digit. They work fine with mkii. Minimal example \starttext The digits $\{0,1,2,3,4\}0,1,2,3,4$ The letters $\{a,b,c,d\}a,b,c,d$ \stoptext Aditya

hierarchical modes
by Janko Hauser 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hello, I need to prepare a document for different audiences. The question here is, how to encapsulate the different parts of the document. There are paragraphs which are "public", some more which are "internal" and some which are "private". People who are in the private group should see everything, the group internal only the public parts and the internal ones. As far as I see, modes are not additive. What would be the best way to structure such a document and to style the different paragraphs, so that the different audiences see, who can read what? Thanks in advance, __Janko Hauser

a question about ConTeXt + AUCTeX
by Dalyoung Jeong 15 May '08

15 May '08

Dear all, Recently I installed Aquamacs Emacs which is nicely working. And I also found AUCTeX macros in the wiki. Since I am a newbie to AUCTeX, I don't know how to apply such codes to Aquamacs. Would someone tell me how to do that? When I choose PDFConTeXt-en>command > ConTeXt, it runs with the command "texexec --once --pdf ...". Is there any way to change it to "texmfstart texexec ..."? Thank you. Dalyoung Jeong

Uppercase ssharp with XeTeX and LuaTeX
by Wolfgang Schuster 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hi, is there a solution for ssharp with XeTeX and LuaTeX, I have a word with a ß in it which I convert into uppercase letters and the ß remains a lowercase characters. This was no problem in the past with pdfTeX because it contained a SS character for this problem and the output is what I want but I have no solution for the other two engines. \starttext \WORD{Grußwort} \stoptext Greetings Wolfgang

Alignment of Itemize
by cidadaum＠sapo.pt 15 May '08

15 May '08

I have put this in my source file: \startitemize[R][4*broad,stopper=---] And in the output the m rule (---) was overlapped by the roman numeral. By the way I would like to align the roman numeral to the right more or less like this (it is difficult to do in text format) I --- blablablablablablabla II --- blablablablablablabla III --- blablablablablablabla IV --- blablablablablablabla VIII --- blablablablablablabla Thank you very much for your help Armando

Greetings! I am trying to typeset some transliterated Arabic and one of the diacritical marks is giving me a problem. How does one put what looks like a breve accent (a cup or concave arc) under an letter in ConTeXT? Cheers, Alan

And is there any way how to get in the first line \min_{x \in X} with the parameter exactly below the "min"? Because in this solution the parameter {x \in X} is on the right bottom, like in a line.
