verb-c and tabulator width
by Peter Münster 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Hello, thanks to Nikolai for the verb-c module! One (probably there will come more) question: How could I adjust the width of the tabulator? It seems to be always one space inside \startC...\stopC : \usemodule[verb-c] \chardef\spacespertab=4 \starttext \starttyping int main(){ int i; } \stoptyping \startC int main(){ int i; } \stopC \stoptext Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Table width trouble
by nico 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Hello, I come back with that damn table test case. With release 2006.04.22: - it works fine when the column width is passed as table option, - it's wrong when the width is passed via a column setup only, - it works ok when both table and column option are passed, and it's the column option that is used (which is the expected behaviour). - it's ok when no width specified at all. \starttext \startbuffer \bTR \bTD[nc=2] A \eTD\bTD x \eTD \bTD[nc=2] B \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD X \eTD \bTD[nc=3] C \eTD \bTD x \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nc=2] D \eTD \bTD x \eTD \bTD[nc=2] E \eTD \eTR \stopbuffer % ok \bTABLE[frame=on,width=3em] \getbuffer \eTABLE % nok, messy table \bTABLE[frame=on] \setupTABLE[c][each][width=3em] \getbuffer \eTABLE % ok, width=3em for each column \bTABLE[frame=on,width=0.1pt] \setupTABLE[c][each][width=3em] \getbuffer \eTABLE % ok \bTABLE[frame=on] \getbuffer \eTABLE \stoptext Regards, BG

continued examples
by Christopher Creutzig 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Salvete, after a long time I got back to some ConTeXt file I had been working on and found that the following construct does not work (I assume it never did): \defineenumeration[example] [sectionnumber=chapter, text=Example, location=hanging, way=bychapter] \starttext \startexample Let $a=1$, $b=2$ \stopexample Something more generic \startexample[continue] Then, $a+b=3$. \stopexample \stoptext I would like the second example to come out as "Example 1 (cont.)". I must confess I did not quite understand which part of \dododefineenumeration actually defines \startexample ... Any ideas? Regards, Christopher

itemize and vertical spacing
by Olivier 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Dear all, To put vertical space in an itemized construction is easy via \startitemize[inbetween={\blank[30pt]}] \item first % a 30pt vertical space will be inserted here \item second % a 30pt vertical space will be inserted here \item third % a 30pt vertical space will be inserted here \item fourth \stopitemize But, now assume I want to typeset the list in two columns: \startitemize[inbetween={\blank[30pt]}] \item first \item second \item third \item fourth \stopitemize the vertical space is discarded, whereas I would like to get the following result \startitemize[inbetween={\blank[30pt]}] \item first \item second % a 30pt vertical space will be inserted here \item third \item fourth \stopitemize Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks, Olivier

Quick Metapost question
by Olivier 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Hi all, I'm looking for an equivalent of \externalfigure[width=1mm] but for \reuseMPgraphic. Something like \reuseMPgraphic[width=1mm]{my-mp-drawing} There is always the way of tracking the generated file and including it with exernalfigure, but this is not very convenient since the numbering is subject to change. Is there an easy way to achieve rescaling of such Metapost figures? Thanks, Olivier

Entries in \completelistoffigures - HOWTO?
by Johannes Graumann 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

Hello, I read out figures from my XML source by the following code: \defineXMLenvironment [figure] [width=\textwidth] [location=here] { \bgroup \defineXMLsave[floattitle] \defineXMLsave[caption] \defineXMLsave[graphic] } { \placefigure [\XMLpar{figure}{location}{}] [\XMLpar{figure}{label}{unknown}] {{\bf\XMLflush{floattitle}} \XMLflush{caption}} % {\externalfigure[\XMLflush{graphic}][width=\XMLval{figure:width {\XMLop{width}}{}]} {\externalfigure[\XMLflush{graphic}][width=\XMLpar{figure}{width}{}]} \egroup } My problem now is, that when calling '\defineXMLargument [listoffigures] {\completelistoffigures[criterium=text]}' I get figure numbers and pages, but no text. How can I show 'floattitle' in the TOF? Thanks, Joh

ConTeXt + asymptote
by Renaud AUBIN 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

Hi all, I like metapost but, according to the following mail (on the metapost ML): [metapost] MP vs. Asymptote I don't want to start a flame, but since someone posted a message some time ago mentioning Asymptote I got curious and I have to say that I was very impressed, even if I still have some problems with it. However, it seems a net improvement over MP, or not? Is there anyone with an informed opinion over Asymptote? Might Asymptote be the killer of MP? Cheers, (and always thanks for the help I got here now and then...) Maurizio _______________________________________________ metapost mailing list http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/metapost I wonder if someone has already tried to use asymptote with ConTeXt... IMHO, this doesn't seem obvious at all but I'm maybe wrong... Cheers Renaud
