\setuplayout doesn't set bottomspace
by Elliot Clifton 23 May '07

23 May '07

Hi, ConTeXt is ignoring my bottomspace dimension, all other dimension are set correctly. What can I do to set the bottom margin? I wanted a dimension of 25mm but it is currently set to 34.1mm. Thanks, Elliot -- " By all means break the rules, and break them beautifully, deliberately, and well. That is one of the ends for which they exist. " Robert Bringhurst (1946-)

Multipage tables - repeating header
by The Wizard 23 May '07

23 May '07

All - I have created a table similar to the example in the wiki \starttext \setuptables[split=repeat] \starttablehead \HL \VL {\bf Head1} \VL {\bf Head2} \VL \AR \HL \stoptablehead \starttables[|l|l|] \dorecurse{50}{% \VL SomeText \VL SomeText \VL \AR \HL} \stoptables Problem: top margin on first page is bigger. \stoptext The header repeats as expected, and the table extends properly across multiple pages. The problem is, the last row on each page is missing the bottom horizontal line, except for the very last row in the table. I have tried numerous variations of "\starttabletail ... \stoptabletail", and none seem to have the desired effect. Is there an easy way to get the bottom "\HL" on the last row of each page to appear? I have tried this both on my system and on the live area of the wiki with the same result; my install is TeXExec | current distribution: web2c TeXExec | context source date: 2007.04.17 12:51 TeXExec | format path: . /home/markea/.texmf-config/web2c /home/markea/.texmf-var/web2c /home/markea/texmf/web2c /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-config/web2c /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/web2c /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist/web2c TeXExec | start of analysis TeXExec | processing document 'texexec' TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | writing option file texexec.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1319 TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/web2c/natural.tcx) entering extended mode (./texexec.tex ConTeXt ver: 2007.04.17 12:51 MKII fmt: 2007.5.3 int: english/english Output written on texexec.pdf (1 page, 21611 bytes).

margins at a cover page
by Gerhard Kugler 22 May '07

22 May '07

Hi, I think it is not appropriate to have a smaller left than right margin at a cover page. But my tries to achieve this are not successful. My relevant expressions: \setuplayout[header=0mm,location=middle] \definelayer[bild][x=0mm, y=0mm, width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight] \setlayer[bild][]{\externalfigure[cover4a1.pdf][]} \defineoverlay[cover][{\placelayer[bild]}] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \setuppagenumbering[alternative=singlesided] \setupnumbering[place=] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=cover] \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no] Gerhard -- Gerhard Kugler Psychotherapeut Bensheim (Germany) http://www.psychotherapie-kugler.de

Ubuntu 7.04 texlive and context packages backported
by Sanjoy Mahajan 20 May '07

20 May '07

Here are not well untested texlive and context packages backported to Ubuntu 7.04: deb http://web.mit.edu/sanjoy/texlive-backports/ feisty/ deb-src http://web.mit.edu/sanjoy/texlive-backports/ feisty/ I use these packages on my laptop with no problems so far (half a day of testing), but let me know if you find anything broken. They are based on the version in Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy), and the context-nonfree and context-doc-nonfree packages are directly from Norbert's repository. Quickstart: Put the above two lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list (replacing the lines for Norbert's repo) then hopefully just these two commands: apt-get update apt-get install context By 'not well tested', I mean that I learnt only yesterday how to turn rebuilt packages into a public repository, so something will go wrong. But I can recompile my textbook after installing those packages, so metapost and pdftex and context are working reasonably well. -Sanjoy

Can't get header repetition with multipage table
by Jean-Philippe Rey 17 May '07

17 May '07

Hello folks, I can't get repeated headers in a multipage table. I tried the following: %------------------------------------------------ \starttext \starttablehead \HL \VL Column 1 \VL Column 2 \VL\SR \HL \stoptablehead \starttabletail \HL \VL Column 1 \VL Column 2 \VL\SR \HL \stoptabletail \starttables[|l|l|] \dorecurse{100}{\VL value \VL value \VL\SR} \VL value \VL value \VL\SR \stoptables \stoptext %------------------------------------------------ I get a multipage table, but the header appears only at the beginning of the table and doesn't repeat itself on each page. Same for the tail part. I believe I am using the last ConTeXt version: TeXExec | TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD TeXExec | TeXUtil | version 9.1.0 - 1997-2005 - PRAGMA ADE/POD TeXExec | CtxTools | version 1.3.3 - 2004/2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD TeXExec | ConTeXt ver: 2007.04.03 13:01 MKII fmt: 2007.4.7 int: english/english This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) I tried first http://live.contextgarden.net/ but ConTeXt live seems to be down at the moment, I always get the message "the file 'texexec' is not found".
