Typescripts tutorials?
by Jason Knight 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hello -- I'm getting ready to get some new fonts working and I'm trying to figure out typescripts. Specifically, I'm confused about the syntax of the \starttypescript [][][].... statements. Is there an explanation of these files in non-code (ie, English)? jason

How to increase left and right padding of cells in a natural table?
by Nicolas Grilly 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hello, I'm using natural tables (\bTABLE ... \eTABLE) and I want to increase the space between the cells borders and the text inside the cells (CSS calls that left-padding and right-padding). I didn't use parameter "offset" because I want to increase only left and right padding. I don't want to increase top and bottom padding. How can I do that?

frontmatter
by wwl＠musensturm.de 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hallo! I am trying to use 'standardmakeup' to produce 'Schmutztitel'-page with a following blank page. I think this is what \start\stopstandardmakeup is for (in doublesided environments). But the example bellow has first a blank page and then 'Schmutztitel'. There is a fourth blank page too. ------------------------- \setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout [ footer=.04\paperheight, %1 grid=yes, %2 marking=on, location=middle, width=middle, height=middle] \starttext \startfrontmatter %3 \startstandardmakeup Schmutztitel \stopstandardmakeup \stopfrontmatter %3 bla \stoptext ------------------------- My experiments: - a space-char between 'doublesided' and ']' removes the last blank page (strange). - uncommenting the lines in position 1,2,3 exclusivly results in the correct behaviour. I would like to understand what the problem is and why, for example, uncommenting frontmatter solves the problem. I thought frontmatter is the place to do title-things and so. Grüße, Wolfgang

Long listing of typescript files

22 Jun '06

For every run of texexec no matter how trivial I get a list of it seems all the available typescript files and map files. Is this normal?

puzzling font replacement
by albert＠gv.pl 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

When I use recent ConTeXt (through Mac i-installer's ConTeXt updater), all I get is documents typeset in a kind of poor quality Times, with all ligatures gapped in the PDF file. Older documents, when re-run with the recent version, all show the same font replacement. Could somebody please explain what's going on? Don't know much about all behind-the-scenes procedures. regards Wojtek Lukaszewicz

Split Table Desperation - again!
by Johannes Graumann 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hello, While the recent modifications to the split table mechanisms provided by Hans help me out with my most annoying monster table using the XML mapping code below (see http://www.idyll.org:8081/JohSite/context/p46-50_split_working.pdf/view for the typeset table; clearly to much whitespace, but everything is typeset and page boundaries are honored) and several other -smaller- tables in the same tome (see http://www.idyll.org:8081/JohSite/context/p45_unsplit_working.pdf/view for a typeset example), one medium-sized table that clearly should not be split gets split none the less (see http://www.idyll.org:8081/JohSite/context/p162-163_unnecessary_split.pdf/vi…) ... and I have no idea why. Puzzled and helpless, Joh XML mapping code: % 'table' - table definition \defineXMLnested [table] [lines=auto] { \defineXMLsave[floattitle] \defineXMLsave[caption] \defineXMLsave[header] \defineXMLsave[body] \defineXMLsave[footer] } { \splitfloat[lines=\XMLop{lines}] { \expanded{% \placetable [\XMLpar{table}{location}{}] [\XMLpar{table}{label}{unknown}] {\select{caption}{\XMLflush{floattitle} {{\bf\XMLflush{floattitle}} \XMLflush{caption}}} } } { \setupTABLE[row][1][topframe=on] \setupTABLE[row][last][bottomframe=on] \bTABLE[frame=off,split=repeat,splitmethod=b,style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex]}] \bTABLEhead\XMLflush{header}\eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody\XMLflush{body}\eTABLEbody \bTABLEfoot\XMLflush{footer}\eTABLEfoot \eTABLE } } % 'td' - table cell definition defaulting to single row/column, automatic width determination, left alignment \defineXMLnested [td] [rows=1,cols=1,width=,bottomframe=,topframe=,align=right] { \doifelse{\XMLop{width}}{}% { \doifelse{\XMLop{bottomframe}}{}% { \doifelse{\XMLop{topframe}}{}% {\expanded{\bTD[align=\XMLop{align},nr=\XMLop{rows},nc=\XMLop{cols}]}} {\expanded{\bTD[align=\XMLop{align},topframe=\XMLop{topframe},nr=\XMLop{rows},nc=\XMLop{cols}]}} } { \doifelse{\XMLop{topframe}}{}% {\expanded{\bTD[align=\XMLop{align},nr=\XMLop{rows},nc=\XMLop{cols},bottomframe=\XMLop{bottomframe}]}} {\expanded{\bTD[align=\XMLop{align},nr=\XMLop{rows},nc=\XMLop{cols},bottomframe=\XMLop{bottomframe},topframe=\XMLop{topframe}]}} } } { \doifelse{\XMLop{bottomframe}}{}% { \doifelse{\XMLop{topframe}}{}% {\expanded{\bTD[align=\XMLop{align},nr=\XMLop{rows},nc=\XMLop{cols},width=\XMLop{width}]}} {\expanded{\bTD[align=\XMLop{align},nr=\XMLop{rows},nc=\XMLop{cols},width=\XMLop{width},topframe=\XMLop{topframe}]}} } { \doifelse{\XMLop{topframe}}{}% {\expanded{\bTD[align=\XMLop{align},nr=\XMLop{rows},nc=\XMLop{cols},width=\XMLop{width},bottomframe=\XMLop{bottomframe}]}} {\expanded{\bTD[align=\XMLop{align},nr=\XMLop{rows},nc=\XMLop{cols},width=\XMLop{width},bottomframe=\XMLop{bottomframe},topframe=\XMLop{topframe}]}} } } } {\par\eTD} % 'tr' - table row definition, defaulting to no bottomframe \defineXMLnested [tr] [bottomframe=,rulethickness=0.5pt] {\doifelse{\XMLop{bottomframe}}{}% {\expanded{\bTR}}% {\expanded{\bTR[bottomframe=\XMLop{bottomframe},rulethickness=\XMLop{rulethickness}]}} } {\eTR}

Ohh! But a leading space has no effekt. What is the exact syntax for parameters? Wolfgang
