pagenumber in header line.
by John R. Culleton 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Here is my code at the moment: \def\CapStretchAmount{.08em} \def\CapStretch#1 {\def\stretchedspaceamount{\CapStretchAmount}\stretchednormalcase{#1}} \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setupheadertexts[text][pagenumber][\CapStretch{ROBERT S. CABLE}][pagenumber] [\CapStretch{INVESTING ON AUTOPILOT}] Here is what I get on a verso (even) page: 4 ROBERT S. CABLE but what I want is the two components in the middle thus: 4 ROBERT S. CABLE If I insert \hfil etc. the pagenumbering gets replaced with the word "pagenumber". Solution? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

Alternating screen/noscreen rows on table
by John R. Culleton 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

I am required by my customer to alternate between white and screen backgrounds for each row of a table for all tables, and there are lots of tables. I am considering adding code to each row of the table or else doing the thing in metafun/metapost. Advice, anyone? Just to mess things up further she wants the table number etc. above the table and left justified. I can handle that. The customer is not always right but the customer is always the customer. She who pays the bills calls the shots. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost. Satisfaction guaranteed. http://wexfordpress.com

\@ in ConTeXt
by Aditya Mahajan 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

Hi, I was converting some of my old docs from LaTeX to ConTeXt and noticed that the macro \@ is not defined in ConTeXt. latex.ltx defines it as \def\@{\spacefactor\@m} with \mathchardef\@m=1000 In LaTeX manuals it is recommended to use \@ to control the spacing after a period. For example, if you write Carrots are good for your eyes since they contain Vitamin A. Have you seen any rabbits wearing glasses? TeX considers the period (.) terminates an abbreviation and uses inter-word space rather than inter-sentence space. In LaTeX, it is recommened that one writes this as Carrots are good for your eyes since they contain Vitamin A\@. Have you seen any rabbits wearing glasses? What is the usual way of doing the same in ConTeXt? Aditya

\useURL query
by Alan Bowen 28 Jan '07

I am having a problem introducing discretionary hyphens into URLs using the latest ConTeXT and \useURL. For example, [DigRes] [{http://www.arthist.net/Link\-ERes.html}] [] [{http://www.arthist.net/LinkERes.html}] does break the URL on the printed page as I need, but the link to the target document is broken. (I get a The requested URL /Link-ERes.html was not found on this server message.) Any tips about what I am doing wrong will be much appreciated. Alan

Footnote in columns interlinespace
by Michal Kvasnicka 28 Jan '07

28 Jan '07

Good noon. I typeset a document in two columns on the grid. Footnotes I place in the "columns". \setupfootnotes [rule=off, way=bypage, location=columns, conversion=set 3, before={\blank[line]}] \setupfootnotedefinition [location=left,width=fit, sample={\mathematics{\star\star\star}\ },hang=1] How can I set interlinespace to a smaller distance? (I don't care that the footnote lines would not be on the grid---I prefer it to a very loose interlinespace.) I guess that there is better way than to write \footnote{\setupinterlinespace[line=9pt] ...\par} Moreover, it doesn't work well since on the first line is apparently inserted a strut. Many thank for you help. Michal Kvasnicka

Typescript for Linotype NimbusSanL-BoldCond
by John R. Culleton 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

Has anyone put together a typescript for some or all of the Nimbus family? I have the font referenced above and ran it through texfont. It is specified by a customer's designer for a book I am working on. I can of course do the old plain TeX \font thing but I would like to do it a more Contextish way. -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.

by Hubertus 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

Hi all again, I try to do something like 1/2 with an upper 1 and a lower 2. The code below still doesn't quite work. \def\nfrac#1#2{\leavevmode\kern.1em% \raise.5ex\hbox{\scriptsize #1}% \kern-.1em/\kern-.15em% \lower.25ex\hbox{\scriptsize #2}} Help would be very much appreciated! Hubertus P.S. Is there a good pdf around to get some insight's of this tex-magic?

Texfont generated map files.

After a texfont run the generated map files contain lines like: texnansi-raw-n019043l NimbusSanL-ReguCond 4 < n019043l.pfb texnansi.enc What does the term "raw" signify? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
