nice new feature
by Hans Hagen 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hi, Since i needed it right now in a project ... \starttext \input tufte \placefigure [left,none] {} {\startfloatcombination[2*2] \placefigure{alpha}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=1cm]} \placefigure{beta} {\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=2cm]} \placefigure{gamma}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=3cm]} \placefigure{delta}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=4cm]} \stopfloatcombination} \input tufte \stoptext This 'combining of floats' feature will be in the next beta (and was actually rather trivial to implement).

long style of a row to put in a macro
by olivier Turlier 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hi everybody, In writing a glossary of building terms (approx. 400 entries) in a natural TABLE. For each letter, A, B, C, I want a screen background, spanning on 2 colomns, with \bf style, etc. : this leads to a rather long definition that I don't wish to copy on each new letter row, so I made a little macro to recall this setup. This system is not working yet, so i beg your help, TIA for any answer %%% \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \def\Rowa#1{nc=2,background=color,backgroundcolor=screen,style=\bf, frame=off,align={middle,lohi}{#1}} \bTABLE[frame=off,width=broad,split=yes] \setupTABLE[column][1][style=\bf,align={right,lohi},width=3cm] \setupTABLE[column][2][style=\tf,align={lohi}] \bTR \bTD [nc=2,background=color,backgroundcolor=Grisbleu,style=\bf,frame=off, align={right,lohi}] A \eTD \eTR %command=\Rowa \bTR \bTD abscisse \eTD \bTD Axe horizontal d'un diagramme \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD abside \eTD \bTD Construction en forme de demi-cercle ou de polygone, située derrière le chœur et constituant l'extrémité d'une église. \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD action \eTD \bTD Force ou déformation imposée agissant sur une structure. \eTD \eTR %... \bTR \bTD [command=\Rowa] B \eTD \eTR % NOT WORKING \bTR \bTD barre \eTD \bTD Element de structure, généralement longiligne, utilisé par exemple dans les treillis \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD barre comprimée et fléchie \eTD \bTD Element de structure soumis à une compression excentrée. \eTD \eTR %... \eTABLE \stoptext -- olivier Turlier

itemize (bis)
by Renaud AUBIN 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hi all, (see [NTG-context] itemize) Now I use \setupitemize[each][2,packed,joinedup,intext][indentnext=yes] % thanks Hans for intext ! but I don't obtain indentation of the first line of each item... i.e. I got Un petit paragraphe qui continue à la ligne. - le premier élément de la liste, - le second élément de la liste. instead of Un petit paragraphe qui continue à la ligne. - le premier élément de la liste, - le second élément de la liste. I have tried several options in setuptiemize but failed to get what I want... Cheers, Renaud

XML and table interpretation
by Johannes Graumann 10 Apr '06

10 Apr '06

Why do these two things work: 1)\defineXMLnested [td] [rows=1,cols=1] {\bTD[nr=\XMLop{rows},nc=\XMLop{cols}]} {\eTD} (in conjunction with '<tr><td rows="2">Gene product</td><td cols="3">HPM tag</td><td rows="2">TAP tag</td><td rows="2">mod. TAP tag</td><td rows="2">Frequ. in ref. set</td></tr>') 2) \bTR[bottomframe=on,rulethickness=0.3pt]\bTD a \eTD\bTD b \eTD\bTD b \eTD\bTD c \eTD\eTR% But this doesn't? \defineXMLnested [tr] [bottomframe=off,rulethickness=0.3pt] {\bTR[bottomframe=\XMLop{bottomframe},rulethickness=\XMLop{rulethickness}]} {\eTR} together with '<tr bottomframe="on"><td rows="2">Gene product</td><td cols="3">HPM tag</td><td rows="2">TAP tag</td><td rows="2">mod. TAP tag</td><td rows="2">Frequ. in ref. set</td></tr>' Thanks, Joh

Strange t-bib behavior
by Johannes Graumann 10 Apr '06

10 Apr '06

Hello, I attach an example file which produces strange citation behavior: while the single citations ('\cite[authoryears][cordingley:90]' or '\cite[authoryears][walker:94]') work perfectly allright, the dual citation ('\cite[authoryears][cordingley:90,walker:94]') is being screwed up: (Cordingley et al., 1990, Walker, 1994 and , ) Any ideas where the problem lies? Thanks, Joh
