Hello all, I have a stupid cuestion: I´m making a long 12 pages table. I´m using \setupfootertexts for the pagenumber. I don´t want page numbers in the header at all. header=hight or header=empty in the \title setup is not enough, I still have a page number centered in the header. How can I supress the page number or the header totally in the whole document? Thankyou in advance. -------------------- Horacio Suarez Editorial Antropofagia www.eantropofagia.com.ar _________________________________________________________________ Discover the new Windows Vista http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=windows+vista&mkt=en-US&form=QBRE

UTF-8 characters and gnuplot module
by Morgan Brassel 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Hi everyone, I'm currently learning how to use the gnuplot module (thank you Mojca, and all the others, for this great tool!). I stick for now with the metapost terminal, as I'm not sure I'd be able to recompile gnuplot in order to add the context terminal. It seems that accents are not supported in gnuplot scripts. In the example below, both the methods to typeset accents fail. Is there a solution to this? Maybe there is something wrong with my settings... Best regards, Morgan \usemodule[gnuplot] \setupGNUPLOT[terminal=mp] \startGNUPLOTscript[sin] set xlabel "héllo h\'ello" plot sin(x) \stopGNUPLOTscript \starttext \useGNUPLOTgraphic[sin] \stoptext

margins
by Peter I. Hansen 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Hi I'm typesetting a document to be printed in book format. For this purpose I need the left margin of an odd numbered page to be larger than the right margin, and the right margin of an even numbered page to be larger than the left margin. However, the standard behaviour seems to be the opposite. Can any of you give me an example of how to reverse this? Thanks, Peter

MKIV Chinese and English typesetting
by Yanrui Li 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Dear Hans and other friends: I am a Chinese user of ConTeXt. Recently, I tried ConTeXt MkIV and test its Chinese typesetting. I am very glad to see MkIV can access my linux OS TTF&OTF fonts and give a good face of my article about lines breaking. But on the bilingual typesetting, such as Chinese sentences and English words appearance in a article at the same time , I found there are no good methods to solve the problem of setting fonts for them respectively. Now I had to handle it in this way: %%%% \definefontfeature[chinese] [mode=node,script=hang,lang=zhs] \definefontsynonym[songti] [name:simsun] [features=chinese] \definefontsynonym[Serif][songti] \definetypeface[song][rm][serif][songti] \setupbodyfont[song,12pt,rm] \font\enfont=name:msyh \def\en#1{% \,\bgroup\enfont #1\egroup\,% } \starttext 我用英文进行\en{Hello World}测试。 \stoptext %%%%%%%% I am eager to see full support for chinese and other Asian languages in ConTeXt MkIV. I am grateful to the developers. Thank you for your time and effort for continuous contributions!

typesetting documentation
by Hans van der Meer 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

I kept this answer to my question in 2002 on typesetting the documentation: > these files are now in theregular distribution, so > > texexec --modu --pdf somedoc.tex > > should work > > Hans [Hagen] Trying it today (through texmfstart or directly texexec) I get: No pages of output. Searching for "typeset documentation" in the ConTeXtWiki gives no clues. The texexec documentation there lists --module as the option to use: so I am baffled. How to typeset ConTeXt documentation today? Hans van der Meer

proper filereading
by Hans van der Meer 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

What is the proper way in ConTeXt to include a file? Just "\input filename" ignores the \enableregime[] setting and thus mistreats accented characters. \usemodule[] shows the same behaviour. Hans van der Meer

Command \NN in table?
by Morgan Brassel 24 Mar '08

24 Mar '08

Hi, I'm currently trying to typeset tables of digits. I read in This Way #3 that the tabulate environment has digits support with \NN. Would it be possible to had the same feature in the table environment? By the way, I'd like to congratulate Hans for the \digits command: it really saved me so much time! It don't need to retype numbers from my numerical outputs anymore. And I can switch very easily from english to french number format. It's great! Best wishes, Morgan
