table questions

Hallo! I have studied the table examples at contextgarden and have some questions. ---------------------- \|10 as a relacement for \VL gives me thicker vert. lines in that position only. How can I define a thicker vert. Line for the whole column? My attempts in \starttable[..\|10..] doesn't work. ---------------------- Why is there so little space between the two rows of the table below? \starttable[|l|p(.7\textwidth)|] \HL \NC bla1 \VL Eins \type{zwei} drei. Eins zwei drei. Eins zwei drei \type{vier} oder \type{sechs}l. Das ist der Leerraum zwischen den Spalten \type{n}. \FR \NC bla2 \VL Eins, zwei \type{drei} \LR \HL \stoptable ---------------------- The two tables in the example below are differing and show, that \SetTableToWidth{0pt} doesn't reset the situation. What is the defaultvalue/resetvalue for \SetTableToWidth{}? \starttable[|l|l|] \VL 11 \VL 12 \VL\FR \VL 21 \VL 22 \VL\LR \stoptable \SetTableToWidth{\textwidth} % some other table stuff \SetTableToWidth{0pt} \starttable[|l|l|] \VL 11 \VL 12 \VL\FR \VL 21 \VL 22 \VL\LR \stoptable ---------------------- Look at the example below: Without any \SetTableToWidth{} this table has neither hor. Lines nor green color. The gray is there. Why? Variant 1: This is an combination of two wiki-examples. The first column of the table is about \textwidth (a little bit smaller). Why? Between the gray and the second hor. Line there is a small white area. Same between green and fourth hor. Line. Hmm! Variant 2: Hor. Line and green area are .2\textwidth as expected. But gray area is about .6\textwidth and so is the column as a whole. Why that? Variant 3: All ok now. Even the spacing between coloured areas and lines is ok. \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext %\SetTableToWidth{.2\textwidth} % Variant 2 \SetTableToWidth{\textwidth} % Variant 1 \starttable[|lp(.45\textwidth)|lp(.45\textwidth)|] \HL \BL[1]\SR %\VL Command \VL Meaning \VL\SR % Variant 3 \NC Command \NC Meaning \SR \HL \NC \tex{NC} \NC next column \FR \NC \tex{NR} \NC next row \LR \HL \CL[green]\SR \NC \tex{AR} \NC automatic row \SR \HL \stoptable \stoptext ---------------------- Wolfgang

In my version of 'In the Details', dated 2002 chapter 1 deals with 'Snapping section heads' and section 1.8 is titled 'Snapping around (broad,high,depth).' Is there a newer variant of that manual?

Captions in the margin
by Alex Lubberts 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

Hello, After reading the details.pdf manual I succeeded in placing figures right where I want them :) However... I would like the caption to be placed in the margin (lining either with the top or the bottom of the figure). I didn't find a way to do this. Does anybody know how to achieve this? Thanks, Alex Lubberts

ToC chapter/appendix labelling
by Stuart Jansen 15 Aug '06

15 Aug '06

I'm trying to achieve a specific table of contents layout. The problem I'm running into is adding the word "Chapter" before the chapter number and "Appendix" before the appendix letter. Below is what I've accomplished so far, any tips would be greatly appreciated. ----- \def\mychapterlistnumber#1{\vbox{% \doifnumberelse{#1}{Chapter}{Appendix} #1\crlf}} \def\mysectionlistnumber#1{\emspace\emspace} \def\mysectionlisttext#1{% \doifelse{#1}{Lab Tasks}{\hskip-1em\bf#1\hfilll}{#1}} \setuplist[chapter][width=1em,numberstyle=bold,% numbercommand=\mychapterlistnumber,textstyle=bold] \setuplist[section][width=2em,% numbercommand=\mysectionlistnumber,% textcommand=\mysectionlisttext] \starttext \bgroup{}Table of Contents\egroup\par \startcolumns[n=2,distance=.3in,balance=no] \bgroup \placelist[chapter,section][criterium=all,alternative=b] \egroup \stopcolumns \page \chapter{Foo} \section{Bar} \input knuth \startappendices \chapter{Corge} \section{Grault} \input knuth \stopappendices \stoptext ----- -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.

The description looks a bit incomplete: (the command encloses the text with .) (Can someone, with the right to do that, add this to the list of typos, please?) The definition of \arg is in 'core-ver.tex' and copying this in a separate file works as expected: \starttext \unprotect \def\setgroupedtype {\let\currenttypingclass\??ty \initializetype \catcode`\{=\@@begingroup \catcode`\}=\@@endgroup} \unexpanded\def\arg{% \groupedcommand{\setgroupedtype\leftargument}{\rightargument}} \protect \arg{bla} \stoptext So there must something be damaged.

Floats Method
by wwl＠musensturm.de 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

Hallo! In \setupfloats[] what exactly is the difference between textmethod and sidemethod? Compared with the gridsize, why does a 1 point window (method=2) help when typesetting on grids? Isn't 1% (method=1) much more in the most cases than 1 point? Wolfgang
