setuphead and command
by Hubertus Schmidt 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Hi all, I'm stuck. I try to something like this: \def\CommandHeader#1#2#3{ {\framed[frame=off,bottomframe=on, topframe=on,align=right,width=\textwidth] {\tbox{\hskip14pt\indent{\type{#2}}\index{#2}\hskip3cm{\it #3} }} } \definehead[Command][subject] \setuphead[Command][command=\CommandHeader] \starttext \Command{{def}{Define Variable}} \Command{{tsolve}{solve differential equation}} \stoptext It's supposed to look like ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ def Define Variable ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ whereas "def" should be indexed and "Define Variable" should be indented... The document is supposed to become a program manual and I wanted it to look like this one: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/fullrefman.pdf How would you do the alphabetic sorting of the commands? Manually like the solution above or with something like "definesorting"? Is there a good way doing this? Thanks a lot Hubertus

XY and papersize
by Claus, Matt - eSpeed 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Hello - I recently discovered Context so let me first of all say a big thank you to Hans for creating such an amazing piece of software and making it available. Now, the question - this works exactly as I expect: \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setuppapersize [XY][A4] \setuppaper[nx=3,ny=10,dx=0mm,dy=0mm,topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm] \setuplayout [location=middle] \setuparranging [XY] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{15}{test \recurselevel \page} \stoptext However, when I change A4 to letter the output seems to introduce some "dy". I experimented with some other paper sizes including defining my own and see inconsistent results. Can anyone point out what I'm doing incorrectly? Thank you very much for any assistance, Matt \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setuppapersize [XY][letter] \setuppaper[nx=3,ny=10,dx=0mm,dy=0mm,topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm] \setuplayout [location=middle] \setuparranging [XY] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{15}{test \recurselevel \page} \stoptext CONFIDENTIAL: This e-mail, including its contents and attachments, if any, are confidential.

Russian hyphenation how to use?
by Arkady Shraer 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Hello, Recently, I made lang-ru.hyp and lang-ru.pat files from TeX's ruhyphal.tex . I read Hans' "Hyphenation patterns" and didn't understand how to use my patterns to enable hyphenation (btw, in manual used key --patterns but in current ctxtools used --patternfiles) What I've done: 1. Created lang-ru.hyp (UTF-8) and lang-ru.pat (UTF-8) from TeX's ruhyphal.tex by hands (ctxtools generated patterns, but russian and ukrainian didn't) 2. Copied files to directory with other languages' patterns 3. texexec --make --all (get an error while compiling lang-cyr.tex ..... undefined sequence) 4. in tex file used \language[ru] 5. Still don't have my text hyphenated. What I do wrong? Should I upgrade my ConTeXt to recent version?

Fleurons
by Keith McKay 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Dear All I am in the process of learning the wonders of Context and enjoying the challenge. My Context is the stand alone version for Windows which I downloaded from the Pragma site. I'm getting used to using the Scite editor although it was a little difficult in the beginning. Just now I'm putting together some short stories and am having fun playing about with layout and using different kinds of fonts. Also I'm reading 'The Elements of Typographic Style' by Robert Bringhurst which is absolutely superb! I would never have thought that a book on typography would be so easy to read. In Bringhurst's book he mentions fleurons - "A horticultural dingbat" which I would like to access. I have looked through the Context manuals but with no success. Could someone give me some hints?

Re: [NTG-context] Question on Itemize

width is the size of the box containing the item number distance is the distance between the item number box and the beginning of the text of the item. ---- Helin Gai <hg9(a)duke.edu> wrote: > Hi, > > I tried to play with \setupitemize, and I can't figure out what the > key "distance" actually does. > For example, the following two lines seem to produce the same effect: > > \setupitemize[each][packed][width=20pt,distance=15pt] > \setupitemize[each][packed][width=20pt,distance=5pt] > > Can someone please give me a hint? > Thanks! > > Colin > _______________________________________________ > ntg-context mailing list > ntg-context(a)ntg.nl > http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Question on Itemize
by Helin Gai 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Hi, I tried to play with \setupitemize, and I can't figure out what the key "distance" actually does. For example, the following two lines seem to produce the same effect: \setupitemize[each][packed][width=20pt,distance=15pt] \setupitemize[each][packed][width=20pt,distance=5pt] Can someone please give me a hint? Thanks! Colin
