setupnarrower with em or quad
by Steffen Wolfrum 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hi, I need a \setupnarrower with quad or em distance. But both... \setupnarrower[left=\quad and \setupnarrower[left=\em ... don't work. Someone knows the right syntax? Thank you, Steffen

ConTeXt and cmyk
by Renaud AUBIN 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hi all, I have reproduced a logo http://www.uvsq.fr/guide/charte/index.html (see attachment for the resulting metapost code). What's the best method to define colors according to this web page ? My understanding is: - for printing, the use of \setupcolors[cmyk=yes,mpcmyk=no,conversion=no] is the best, - for display rendering, the use of \setupcolors[cmyk=yes,mpcmyk=yes,conversion=yes] is the best. Am I right ? Renaud

Index design
by Steffen Wolfrum 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

[apologies for re-posting but the ntg-server seemed to be down?] Hi, in a index is it possible not to have bold letters as separators ("a", "w") in a dedicated line, but instead only the first letter of the first entry with "a" or "w" bold? See this minimal example: \starttext \chapter{First Chapter} Some text...\index{word} \section {First Section} Some text...\index{word} Some text...\index{another word} Some text...\index{another word} \page[yes] \completeindex \stoptext Here I would like to have only the first letter of the index entries "another" and later "word" in the index to be set bold. (Hope you understand what I mean...) Thanks, Steffen

Re: [NTG-context] XY and papersize
by Matt Claus 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

To summarize, Taco kindly solved this problem after exchanging some messages with me off list - thank you Taco. The key is, when using a papersize other than the A4 default with XY, it is necessary to first explicitly set the appropriate papersize. This enables the XY calculations to expand properly. For example: \setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setuppapersize [XY][letter] \setuppaper[nx=3,ny=10,dx=2mm,dy=0mm,topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm] \setuplayout [location=middle] \setuparranging [XY] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{30}{test} \stoptext This is a very handy way to generate a centered layout for labels of any size. The spacing between the labels is easily controlled with dx and dy. Thanks for the help solving this, Matt

Re: [NTG-context] modes with Scite

Hans, I thought Shift+F8, paramters, would have something to do with adding options at the command line, but it did not work with --mode=short. ---- Hans Hagen <pragma(a)wxs.nl> wrote: > dwarnold45(a)cox.net wrote: > > All, > > > > I am using the Scite editor provided by one of the Context dristributions. > > > > Is there a way to include modes with one of the various compiling commands? > > > no, but you can > > (1) temporary put \enablemode[...] at the to of the file > (2) use a separate file where you set the mode, and load the file > > Hans > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE > Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands > tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com > | www.pragma-pod.nl > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > _______________________________________________ > ntg-context mailing list > ntg-context(a)ntg.nl > http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

sorting list
by Hans van der Meer 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Some things I do not understand about sorting: This is the example: \def\sortprocess#1{{\bf #1}} \definesorting[city][cities][\callupcities] \setupsorting[city][criterium=all,command=\sortprocess] \city{Londen} \city{Berlijn} \city{New York} \city{Parijs} \city{Amstelveen} \placelistofcities \callupcities question 1. The manual states (p.163) "When we add a command in the third argument during the definition of the sorted list we may recall sorted list with this command." However \callupcities gives me this error: Runaway argument? ! Paragraph ended before \callupcities was complete. <to be read again> \par question 2. The command \sortprocess does work, the items are in bold. But they now are typeset next to one another instead of each one on a line by itself, as occurs without command=\sortprocess on the setup.
