Headers for natural tables.
by JOHN CULLETON 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

I hve determined by trial and error that the multiline feature [nr=2] of Natural Tables does not work well, if at all, in the TABLEhead area. But the TABLEhead area is necessary for readable split tables. Currently I use single lines in the header area and suppress some of the rules to create a multiline effect thus: \bTABLE [option=stretch,split=repeat] \setupTABLE[r][1][height=0cm,width=0cm,frame=off] \setupTABLE[c][1][width=1.7in] \setupTABLE[r][2][bottomframe=off] \setupTABLE[r][3][topframe=off] \bTABLEhead \bTR %dummy row \bTH \eTH \bTH \eTH \bTH \eTH \eTR \bTR %first visible row \bTH {\bf Investment} \eTH \bTH {\bf Portfolio } \eTH \bTH {\bf Average Stock } \eTH \eTR \bTR \bTH {\bf Category} \eTH \bTH {\bf Allocation} \eTH \bTH {\bf Market Exposure} \eTH \eTR \eTABLEhead ... This example also uses the (apparently) obligatory dummy row as described by others. Natural Tables have been around for a while. It is unfortunate that no one has come up with a real manual for these tables. All that exists are "learn by example" documents, which do not describe limitations such as the one I worked around in the above code.

Hi, I have 2 juxtaposed figures which cover 2 thirds of the page. I want to continue with the text on this page, but it remains empty. There takes place a pagebreak. I have tried: \setupcombinations[after=\page[no] but without effect. A hint? Gerhard -- Gerhard Kugler Psychotherapeut http://www.psychotherapie-kugler.de

Can not set body font
by Paul Jones 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

Hello, I am having a problem setting up a body font since updating my tex system to texlive 2007. The file below worked fine on my old tetex system, but alas the body font will no longer change. No matter what I do, I get the default roman font instead of the one I specify. The Chapter font is the correct font (bickham), but the body font is not. Based on this I think I have the font installed correctly. Can anyone see what I am missing. Why can I not change the body font? %output=pdftex \resetmapfiles \loadmapfile[texnansi-familylearn-bickham] \definefontsynonym[BodyFont][texnansi-pbir8a][encoding=texnansi] \definebodyfont[default][rm][tf=BodyFont sa 1] \setupbodyfont[default, rm] \definefont[ChapterFont][BodyFont at 48pt] \setuphead[chapter][style=\ChapterFont] \starttext \chapter{Bickham Chapter} Hello in Bickham font. \stoptext Thanks, paul

Chapters without page breaks
by Kumar Appaiah 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

Dear ConTeXt users, I was wondering whether there was a simply way to avoid a page break after \chapter. It'd be nice, since I am writing a small report. I did try \setupsectionblock, but didn't quite get it. Could you please suggest the "right way"? Thanks.

style for section
by Thomas A. Schmitz 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hi all, this sounds easy, but I can't seem to find a solution. I want my section headers to look like so: 1. April 4 Title of chapter i.e. have the title right aligned. I thought this should be as simple as \section{April 4 \hfill Title of chapter} but alas, no, it's always flush left. Is there an obvious solution I'm overlooking? Thanks Thomas

How to split margin note to the next page?
by Zhichu Chen 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hi, everybody Thank you for having helped me before, and I have a new problem here. When I was writing an article, I used margin to give some explanations. But the margin note is very very long, and eventually it appeares near the bottom of a page. So the output is awful, like: ======================= \starttext \input knuth\par \input knuth\par \inright{\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}}% \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext ======================= Can margin be splitted to the next page automatically? -- Sincerely yours, Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.
