Rule under length of last line
by Duncan Hothersall 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

I've had a last-minute impossible request for a typesetting style, and having already told the person it can't be done in the time available, wondered whether it can actually be done at all. The request is for a subsection heading to have a continuous horizontal rule under both its number and title, at a distance of about 6pt from the baseline (i.e. not underlining), extending just the length of the heading. I can do that by setting both number and title in a TABLE, setting the offsets and specifying the bottom frame to be on - no problem. However, the tricky part is that where a longer title runs beyond one line, the line should only appear under the last line, and only to the length of the last line of text. In other words, for viewers with fixed width fonts: 1.1.1 Short title ----------------- 1.1.2 Longer title which wraps onto a second line like this --------------------------- We generate the ConTeXt code from XML, so ideally a solution wouldn't require the last line to be set separately, but would just work whether the heading was single or multiple line. What I'm really looking for is a subsection setup that will automatically do this whatever length of title. I have to say I think it's quite ugly, but can anyone give me a pointer as to how it could be done? Is there a box left at the end of a par which shows the width of the last line? As I say, I've already said no, so this is just out of interest, no urgency. Thanks, Duncan

Lucida Bright Font Problem
by Helin Gai 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi all, I'm trying to set up ConTeXt to use the Lucida Bright Font. I've already installed the font in the "LaTeX way" and it works pretty well in LaTeX. But when I use the following: \usetypescriptfile [type-buy] \loadmapfile[texnansi-bh-lucida.map] \usetypescript[lbr]%[texnansi] \setupbodyfont[lbr,11pt] The font used in the document is still computer Modern. Does ConTeXt require special setup? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Sincerely, Colin

Wow, very cool. Will adapt and wikify. Thanks - it's even better to say no and then do it anyway. :) Thanks again. Duncan

column overflow at times
by David Arnold 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hans, We are using: \setupcolumns [tolerance=stretch, balance=yes, blank=flexible, rule=off, distance=2.5em] However, once in a while we get column overflow. See page 55 on: http://msenux.redwoods.edu/IntAlgText/chapter0/chapter0.pdf Are we doing this correctly? Any suggestions?

setuphead
by Steffen Wolfrum 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi, I was sure it should be quite standard, but I couldn't figure our how to set a heading like this: "Chapter label/number" (centered,small,italic) (linebreak) "Chapter titel" (centered,bigger,bold) Is there a command=... to be written, or could it be achieved by combining the various options that setuphead has predefined?

TOC and "Contents" entry
by The Wizard 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

All - Although the manual seems to imply that \completecontent will include the "Contents" page entry itself in the TOC, it does not. I would like the "Contents" page itself to be included, in both the table of contents, and the navigation entries in the generated pdf output. I normally set it up like this: \completecontent[alternative=c,pagestyle=slanted,interaction=pagenumber] Pretty simple, but it doesn't do what I'd really like. The other style \placecontent[alternative=c,pagestyle=slanted,interaction=pagenumber] doesn't do what I want either. Is there an additional option that I'm missing. I'd like something like <page header> Contents Contents..............................................................iii Section 1.............................................................1 etc.... <page footer> Can I get this with either \completecontent or \placecontent, or will I have to use some other method?

whitespace
by Hans van der Meer 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Why does \startframedtext does not honor the outside setting by \setupwhitespace? And do I have to use inner? Here follows a minimal example \starttext \setupwhitespace[big] line1\par line2\par % next no big space between the lines \startframedtext line1\par line2\par \stopframedtext % next has big space between the lines \startframedtext[inner={\setupwhitespace[big]}] line1\par line2\par \stopframedtext \stoptext Hans van der Meer
