Adjust spacing before and after figures
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

Hello, How to adjust spacing before and after all figures placed by \externalfigure? I don't need captions, just figures. Now I use two commands in pair, like \blank[4ex] \externalfigure[lily03.png][scale=1000] -- Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

crop pdf page via \externalfigure options
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Hello, I have pdfs containing small musical pieces, created with lilypond. To include them in my document, I must crop each pdf manually each time it is recreated. Is there a way to crop pdf page via \externalfigure options? (All the switches listed at TeXshow seem to scale an image, not to crop.) Best regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

XeTeX image dimensioning bug
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Hello, I've found a bug in XeTeX image handling. Once it has created a .rli file for an image, it doesn't recalculate dimensions after the image is changed. I tested it with .png image, 1-bit (black-and-white). When I crop the image, both its size and datetime attribs are updated. Nevertheless, running xetex again produces distorted image, stretched to the old dimensions. I can only make xetex to rebuild .rlis by deleting them manually each time. Generally, I don't understand why XeTeX is so stupid that it relays upon the external tool (ImageMagic) to calculate image dimensions. ConTeX performs much better at this point. (How I'm longing for it supporting system fonts!). Best, Vaycheslav Yatskovsky

beginner's question: interlinespace and definetyping
by Patrick Gundlach 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Hi, it seems that I keep asking the beginner's questions... How do I combine \setupinterlinespace with \definetyping? I'd like to have a verbatim envrionment with less interlinespace then the rest of the document. \definetyping [befehl] [before={\startframedtext[width=.8\makeupwidth, before={\setupinterlinespace[line=10pt]}, background=screen, backgroundscreen=.9]}, after={\stopframedtext}] does not seem to have any effect. Putting the setupinterlinespace to the first 'before=' has no effect either. Patrick (I am pretty sure that I could have answered these kind of questions myself a few years ago - that's embarrassing)

definetypeface confusion
by Patrick Gundlach 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Hi there, I am a bit confused about \definetypeface. I try to mix some self-installed otf-fonts. Serif works fine, but I can't get the sans variant to work: \definetypeface [chaparral][rm][serif] [chaparral][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface [myriad] [ss][sans] [myriad] [default][encoding=texnansi] \ss does not switch to myriad (instead, ConTeXt uses lmss), but \myriad does! So I think that the font is installed correctly and the typescript is not completely broken. How should the \setupbodyfont look like? My current setup is: \setupbodyfont[chaparral,14pt] What other information do you need? Patrick

active urls in bibliographies
by Sanjoy Mahajan 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

[This must be a FAQ, and if so I'll put it on the wiki] I tried to force an active hyperlink to be part of a bibliography entry. If the bibliography style file for that entry type uses it, maybe it will work. But I wanted to put it in the 'note' field so that I could add it to most entries. e.g. @Book{HPL:2000, editor = {John D. Barnsford and Ann L. Brown and Rodney R. Cocking}, title = {How people learn: Brain, mind, experience, and school.}, publisher = {National Academy Press}, year = 2000, address = {Washington, DC}, edition = {expanded}, note = {http://www.nap.edu} } As above, the URL comes out normal (i.e. not hyperlinked). I couldn't get the 'biburl' field to do the magic (even with \setupinteraction started), maybe because I'd need to reprogram the .bst to use it. Also various combinations of \useURL and \goto did not work. e.g. This failed: \useURL[someurl][http://www.someurl.org][][http://www.someurl.org] @Book{HPL:2000, {... note = {\goto[someurl]} ... } That fails with ! Argument of \dogoto has an extra }. <inserted text> \par <to be read again> } \doattributes ...name #1#2\@EA \endcsname \fi {#4} \dostopattributes <argument> ...esetapublication {HPL:2000}\strut }} \egroup \ifdim \wd 4=\zero... \secondoftwoarguments #1#2->#2 \dosomelistelement ...hss \dostoplistattributes }} \endgraf \nointerlineskip ... ... l.208 \placepublications[criterium=all] Any thoughts appreciated! -Sanjoy `Intellectual property is intellectual theft.'

lineskip in itemize
by Jano Kula 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

Greetings to everybody! It might be a bug, hence this message. The strut at the begining of an item in the itemgroup breaks the line skip (even if it is set on grid) if there is some accent above the uppercase letter. Contrary to normal text, where everything is OK. Changing \lineskiplimit locally to itemigroup fixes the problem.

paragraph numbering & in[..] with paragraph resolution -> semantic refering
by Henning Haeske 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

Hi, as I am still new to context I really have no idea how to realize following: After each paragraph I like to have at the right bottom corner a small number. This number shout increase with every paragraph. The counting should restart after every heading (doesn't care which level). How can I realize this? Additionaly I like to use this number with the in-command: Instead of referering only to the heading number (e.g. 2.3.1) I want to refer to the paragraph (e.g. 2.3.1 / 16). But it should also be possible to refer to a group of paragraphs (e.g. 2.3.1 / 16 - 18 or 2.3.1 / 16, 21). Maybe with the possibility to exchange the / with anything else (e.g. 2.3.1 Abs. 17). I am really happy for any hint, tip, implementing strategy to realize this. Of course: if I have finally a working solution i will enter it into the context-wiki. Thanks, H.

Basic TeX question, how to redefine ^^M
by Zhichu Chen 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

Hi everybody, I want to insert some special thing between every paragraph, e.g., I'd like to make each paragraph on seperated pages. Then I use: ============================= \appendtoks\feedcurrentpage\to\everypar \def\feedcurrentpage{\page[yes]} ============================= and ConTeXt gives an error about TeX capacity exceeded. And I define: ===================== \def\^^M{\endgraf\page[yes]} ===================== nothing happened. So I'm lost. Can you tell me how to make it? -- Best Regards Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.
