TABLE width question
by Steffen Wolfrum 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Hi, looking through enattab and this list's archive I saw that we have … \bTABLE[option=stretch] … to make a table wide as textwidth, and … \setupTABLE[column][1][width=.5\hsize] … to make the first column half of textwidth. Now, I want to have the *entire* table scaled .75 of textwidth (set the columns width automatically). Is there also an option / a command for this? Steffen

e-mail - link in pdf not correct with dot in e-mail adress
by Ole Schoening 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Hallo group, an e-mail adress typeset with Context produces a clickable link in the resulting pdf file. Whenever I typeset an e-mail-adress of the form xxx.yyy(a)host.com, then the resulting link in the pdf-file just directs to the (non-existing) adress yyy(a)host.com. I tried to put brackets {} around the adress, to use \useURL or to put \setupinteraction[state=stop] to prohibit a wrong link but it did not work. (I'm using ConTeXt - 2006.10.24 13:47 and pdfeTeX-1.30.4) Is this a problem of setting the right command or using the right version? What should I do either to produce a correct or no link at all? Thanks in advance, Ole

Newbie question: math font and bibliography
by Zulkifli Hidayat 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Dear all, I'm a newbie, just recently try to use context. As I read the wiki, I think that Context is great to typeset documents. Now I'm trying to make a document with some maths in it and I also need bold math symbols. I try the steps written in MyWay Magazine: Normal and Bold Math Combination by Hans Hagen and I find that bold math in inline equation is bold upright but in formula it is bold italics. Furthermore, I can't type a bold greek symbol in an inline equation. A file test is below. I also tried in Contextlive and got the same result. I use the 23.01.2007 context version. For bibliography, I don't have any idea how to cite a bibliography item in the list of publications. I found the wiki is not clear enough for real newbie like me. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions ...

Line Break in URLs
by Helin Gai 09 Feb '07

Hi all, In the 15th edition Chicago Manual of Style, all URLs are broken before punctuation, e.g., http://www.tug .org I'm wondering how I could achieve this with \useURL. Thanks!

ConTeXt Marcro Quesiton
by Aditya Mahajan 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Hi, I wand to write a macro, that handles both [] and {} as optional arguments. For example, I have a command with three optionl arguments [#1][#2]#3 I want \command to give #1=\empty, #2 = \empty, #3 = \empty \command [1] to give #1=1, #2 empty, #3 empty, \command [1] {3} to give #1=1, #2 empty, #3 = 3 \command [1] [2] {3} to give #1=1, #2=2, #3=3 \command {3} to give #1=empty, #2=empty, #3=3. I tried the following macro, it works except for \command[1][2]{3}. \def\finalcommand[#1][#2]#3% {1 :-> (#1), 2 :-> (#2), 3 :-> (#3)} \def\command% {\dodoubleempty\docommand} \def\docommand[#1][#2]% {\dodoublegroupempty{\finalcommand[#1][#2]}} \starttext \command \command [1] \command [1] {3} \command [1] [2] {3} \command {3} \stoptext which gives 1 :-> (), 2 :-> (), 3 :-> () 1 :-> (1), 2 :-> (), 3 :-> () 1 :-> (1), 2 :-> (), 3 :-> (3) 1 :-> (1), 2 :-> (2), 3 :-> () 3 <--------- This does not work 1 :-> (), 2 :-> (), 3 :-> (3) Can someone suggest a better way to do this?

Footnotes lost in Natural Tables
by Steffen Wolfrum 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Hi, once again I ran into a dead-end where I never dreamt it could be a problem: using footnotes in tables. For my current project I have to use 16 tables, spread over the whole text (about 400 pages). Some of these tables also need footnotes (sometimes quite large). But they should be numbered and placed within the regular footnotes at the end of the page. Trying the minimal below I saw the table's footnotes got lost: \starttext First paragraph\footnote{One}. \bTABLE \bTR \bTD Cell\footnote{Two} \eTD \bTD Cell\footnote{Three} \eTD \eTR \eTABLE Next paragraph\footnote{Four}. \stoptext As I have to weave 31 footnotes in these 16 tables I hope I don't need to place fake notes by hand, do I?

Why why why? lmodern in Debian is at version 1.00 and Taco (or Hans) told me that the math fonts *are* included (and in fact I see them!) in the 1.00 version, too. > Formats should also be generated automatically, but I experience > similar problems on mac. No. Currently formats are NOT autogenerated in texlive in Debian for conext, because mktexfmt/fmtutil does NOT support engine specific subdirs for formats. This will work again with texlive 2007.
