Hi, say that I have four tables with lables tab:A ... tab:D. Now, I would like to say something like \in{Tables}[tab:A,tab:B,tab:C,tab:D] and the output should be "Tables 2, 7-9". How can this be done? Greetings, -- Eckhart

margin kerning issues
by Idris Samawi Hamid 10 May '05

10 May '05

Dear gang, In the following example, margin kerning works for \hyphen and \endash, but not for `-' and `--'. I don't think this is an encoding problem, because e.g. \hyphen and `-' generate the same output. Please advise-) Thnx as always Idris =================================================== \setupoutput[pdftex]% \setupfontsynonym[cmr10][handling=normal] \usetypescript[cmr] \setupbodyfont[10pt] \setupalign[hanging] \setuplayout[width=4.2in] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{40}{testing\hyphen\ test\hyphen\ } \blank \dorecurse{40}{testing- test- } \blank \dorecurse{40}{testing\endash\ test\endash\ } \blank \dorecurse{40}{testing-- test-- } \hyphen\ - \endash\ -- \stoptext =================================================== ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Vertical alignment of footnotes in \bTABLE
by Johan Sandblom 09 May '05

09 May '05

The following admittedly contrived example exposes a problem with vertical alignment of footnotes. The problem was first encountered with a multipage table where the footnotes became more far apart instead of on top of each other as here. It appears the problem only occurs if 1. there is a cell with multiple lines 2. there is a cell that spans several columns. Is there a workaround?

Recomputing useMPgraphic in footers
by David Antos 09 May '05

09 May '05

Hello, I have \defineoverlay[Wave][\useMPgraphic{Wave}] \startuseMPgraphic{Wave} ... \stopuseMPgraphic \setupbackgrounds[footer][text][background={Wave}] The problem is that the graphics is not re-computed on every page, although I pretty convinced it should. On the opposite, when I set \setupbackgrounds[text][text][background={Wave}] it works perfectly well. (The difference is in [footer] vs. [text].) An ugly workaround is to call \setupbackgrounds on every page, but it's not nice at all. What went wrong?

RE: [NTG-context] alignment issues

Hi Taco, In addition to [flushright] and [flushleft], would it be possible to add support for the options [raggedright] and [raggedleft] (equivalent to the default [right] and [left] respectively)? This would add useful symmetry to the alignment options, and is easy to remember-) Thnx 4 all your help (Otared too!) and Best Idris >===== Original Message From Taco Hoekwater <taco(a)elvenkind.com> ===== >> \startalignment[right] bla bla bla \stopalignment > >You can use > > \startalignment[flushleft] bla bla bla \stopalignment > >instead ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Indenting after \stopitemize
by Idris Samawi Hamid 09 May '05

09 May '05

Dear knights, Has ConTeXt changed its default for indenting after \stopitemize? Normally ConTeXt suppresses indentation after positive whitespace but this does not work in e.g. ======================= \setupoutput[pdftex]% \setupindenting[medium,next] \setupitemize[each][][before={\blank[big]},after={\blank[big]}] \starttext \startitemize \item Item \stopitemize %\blank[big] \input knuth \stoptext ======================= I think this used to work before... How do I force no indentation after an itemize environment? I'm also unclear about what the indentnext=no is supposed to do. Thnx as always Best Idris ============================ Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Hi Hans Could you send me/post a copy of the modified macro/file (I'm at a mission-critical stage on a project and don't want to install a new beta before it's done unless absolutely necessary->) Also, is there a similar \dontcomplain fix for \start-\stopalignment[left] (underfull hbox)?
