Manual
by Jeffrey Drake 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

I have heard a bit of talk about 'if the manual is updated' or some such like that. I was going to have the manual printed in a book so I have a hardcopy. Is the manual still current and relevant that it would be worth it? - Jeff

PDF links behaviour
by nico 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

In the PDF documents, when I click on an cross-reference link (it can be a page number from the table of content, or anything done with \in[]) I jump to the related page (that's ok) but the document view is automatically changed to 'Fit in Window' whatever the view initially was (e.g. 'Fit Width'). Is it possible to change this behaviour? I would like to have the same behaviour than with latex, that is, the document view doesn't change when clicking on a link. I guess it's possible to achieve this with ConTeXt, but I haven't found any information about configuring this. Regards, BG

table-caption: centred or not??
by Peter Münster 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hello, how are the rules, that determine if the caption is centred? Here my test-case, "ok" means: this is how I like it and "not ok" means, I don't like it: \setupcaptions[width=\makeupwidth] \def\MyTable#1{\placetable{\dorecurse{#1}{bla }}{\starttable[|c|] \NC This is a table.\NC\AR\stoptable}} \starttext \MyTable{2} % ok \MyTable{10} % not ok \MyTable{30} % ok \setupcaptions[align=middle] \MyTable{2} % ok \MyTable{10} % ok \MyTable{30} % not ok \stoptext What should I do, to get 3 times "ok" ? Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Context Garden
by Jeffrey Drake 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Is there any downloadable copy of the Context Garden site that is not on the Context Garden website? At my school unfortunately we don't seem to be able to get through to context garden wiki. But trying to get into ConTeXt would likely be much smoother with access to the information. Any help is appreciated. Jeff

Re: [NTG-context] [XeTeX] no space after item no.

Dalyoung, This is much more a ConTeXt issue than a XeTeX issue. I *think* it comes up with XeConTeXt because the CJK font has (relatively) wider roman characters than with roman fonts. Anyway, here are two different approaches. You can either correct it per item group (making it broad or a multiple thereof), or across all itemizes (insert whatever width that makes you happy). \starttext \startitemize[n,2*broad] \dorecurse{13}{\item item } \stopitemize % or: \setupitemize[width=2.5em] \startitemize[n] \dorecurse{13}{\item item } \stopitemize \stoptext Hope that helps! -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

externalfigure and width/height scaling
by nico 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

Hello, I am new to ConTeXt, so please be patient with my newbie questions. Looking at the \externalfigure capabilities, I haven't found any option allowing to scale only one dimension (or scale both dimensions in an anamorphous way). Am I right, and if so what is the best method to perform this? I thought about using the \getfiguredimensions macro to get the natural dimensions, and then use something like width=0.2\imgwidth,height=0.8\imgheight, but it is a pity that the externalfigure interface does not allow this directly (something like wscale and hscale options). Regards, BG

startalignment
by Hans van der Meer 12 Mar '06

12 Mar '06

I do not understand this behaviour of startalignment [middle]...stopalignment versus midaligned. According to the manual the contents should be centered in the middle. Although text is centered, a combinations is not centered but stays at the leftmargin. Is there something I do not understand or is the behaviour of the startaligment environment erroneous? Example (behaviour is in the caption): \useexternalfigure[picture][somepicturefile] \starttext \startalignment[middle]\startcombination[1*1]{\externalfigure [picture]}{startalignment combination not centered} \midaligned{\startcombination[1*1]{\externalfigure[picture]} {midaligned combination centered}\stopcombination}\stopalignment \blank \startalignment[middle]startalignment text centered\stopalignment \stoptext Hans van der Meer

New math collection ?
by WN 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

Hi, I defined some extra math symbols based on the help of David Munger. David posted a question 2 years ago, asking the group how to define extra math symbols. He found a solution himself (see below) and what I am trying to do is to put this into a math collection like math-eul.tex but I am not successfull. I used his solution to define a module math-extra.tex based on math-eul.tex but I am getting errors like ! \textfont 14 is undefined (character). \stopdisplaymath ->\stopinnermath $$ \ifgridsnapping \egroup \afterdisplayspa... \dostopformula ...eter \c!alternative \v!formula } \resetlastlinewidth \nonoi... l.18 \stopformula I don't know what I am doing wrong, hope someone can help me Attached my test files.
