Question about Captions
by Helin Gai 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

Hi, I'd like to know whether it is possible to control the captions of tables and figures separately. What I wanna do is to place the caption above the table but below the figure. Thanks in advance!!!

wasy symbols
by Hans van der Meer 24 Jun '06

24 Jun '06

I need one of the wasy symbols, the check mark to be exact. Now I add: \usemodule[symb-was] and this allows me to type set the mark with: WaldiSymbol = \WaldiSymbol {8} but although the module file defines: \definesymbol [checked] [\WaldiSymbol {8}] I cannot do something like \checked because \checked is an undefined control sequence. What I am missing? Hans van der Meer

newline with \setupTABLE[bottom=...]
by Peter Münster 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

Hello, in accordance to http://context.literatesolutions.com/collector/52 I got used to write things like: \starttext \setupTABLE[c][1][style=before,bottom=after] \bTABLE \bTR\bTD X\eTD\bTD bla\eTD\eTR \bTR\bTD X\eTD\bTD bla\eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stoptext This worked fine, but with the latest ConTeXt, the bottom=... introduces a newline. Do you have a solution for this issue? Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

It it true that in Arabic the digits making up a number should read from ltr while separated numbers forming a section or float reference should read rtl overall. So we are nearly there, just the cross-references to be dealt with, thank you all very much for this. Duncan

reference formatting
by Hans van der Meer 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

With \definereferenceformat[pin][left=(,right=)] it is possible to typeset references with \pin[ref] and get "(ref)" I have two questions in this respect: 1. is it possible to change the general setup in the same way, e.g. let \in[ref] do the same as \pin[ref] here. The left and right are not in setupreferencing. 2. some strange interchange takes place when using \pin{A}{B}[ref]. Instead of the expected "A (ref) B" one gets "A (refB); it therefore seems the right parenthesis from the setup comes too late in play. Hans van der Meer

So to match the setupheads, we need also: \setuplist[section,subsection,...][separator={{.}}] Unfortunately \setupreferencing[separator={{.}}] seems to just put an extra . before the figure number, but not reverse it, resulting in: '1.2- erugiF' Duncan

Hi Gerben, When trying to update ConTeXt with i-Installer, I see this: "Remote Package: Remote is being updated since 2006/06/23 04:02:30" Is it a normal situation? Thanks in advance: OK

I agree the above works, but when I use Arabic fonts and content it doesn't seem to. I have new tex and pdf files at: http://www.capdm.com/public/context/figtest.tex and http://www.capdm.com/public/context/figtest.pdf > Hans: How do we configure the "."=>"-" separator? This I have worked out! \setupcaption[figure][separator=-] Doh. Thanks, Duncan
