Yes, that was my starting point. Foolishly I hoped there were similar facilities for natural tables. Thanks all the same.

gwTeX and missing PS fonts
by Ville Voipio 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

I had a smoothly working gwTeX with the exception of a few hyphenation patterns. Before debugging that problem any further, I decided to get the newest beta (texexec 5.3.1, context 2005.04.19). I got the hyphenation problem fixed. It had nothing to do with the distribution or version, just my lack of thinking. Editing cont-usr.tex and then 'texexec --make --all', and ConTeXt was hyphenating Finnish beautifully. However, something else broke when I upgraded. I cannot get the Postscript fonts working anymore. Here is what I have in the file: \usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[pos,11pt] Everything goes relatively smoothly, except for the fact that I get everything typeset in Computer Modern. A small error message is in the output: bodyfont : unknown variant pos What went wrong? I cannot find the file font-pos.tex on my machine, but as I cannot find it in the source tree, either, it seems to have been embedded somewhere. How should I debug this problem? Where is the actual definition for "pos"? - Ville

Figure formats
by Jörg Hagmann 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

Dear list members, If you have the choice of format when preparing the figures for a book written with ConTeXt, what would you opt for? (The figures are being drawn with ChemDraw and Illustrator). JPEG, TIFF, eps etc, or doesn't it matter? Should the figures be drawn at exactly the final size, or is resizing when setting ok? Other suggestions? Thank you for the help, Jörg. PD Dr.med.

\splitfloat and \bTABLE do not play well?

26 Apr '05

Reading earlier messages on this list I hoped the following would work for natural tables as well. It does not, the table ends up unsplit. What am I doing wrong? \starttext \splitfloat [lines=3, conversion=greek] {\placetable{test}} {\bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTR \bTD a \eTD\bTH b \eTH\eTR \dorecurse{50}{\bTR\bTD 1 \eTD\bTD 2\eTD\eTR} \eTABLE} \stoptext -- Johan Sandblom N8, MRC, Karolinska sjh t +46851776108 17176 Stockholm m +46735521477 Sweden "What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite" -- Bertrand Russell

footnotes in multipage \bTABLE
by Johan Sandblom 25 Apr '05

25 Apr '05

How does one get footnotes in a long natural table? The following gives error \starttext \startlocalfootnotes[n=0, location={text, none}] \bTABLE[split=repeat] \bTR\bTD a\footnote{test} \eTD\bTD b \eTD\eTR \dorecurse{50}{\bTR\bTD \eTD\bTD \eTD\eTR} \eTABLE \placelocalfootnotes \stoplocalfootnotes Many thanks, Johan -- Johan Sandblom N8, MRC, Karolinska sjh t +46851776108 17176 Stockholm m +46735521477 Sweden "What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite" -- Bertrand Russell

Hi, texshow-web say: \definerule[...][...,...=...,...] [...] name [...,...=...,...] see \setuprule but it is not defined both in my and contextgarden context instalation. One from texshow or context should be corrected. I vote for the second. vit ----------------------------------- \starttext Rule: \definerule[A][spacebefore=2pt] \placerule[A] \stoptext -----------------------------------

Greetings all, Adam, Have you had any success in using hanging alignment handling with Adobe Jenson Pro? The last reference to this I've found was in your 2003 My Way on the subject. Kind regards, David

OT: german Ruby book
by Henning Hraban Ramm 23 Apr '05

23 Apr '05

[If you can't read German this won't be of any interest for you.] Ich habe ein Buch zu verschenken: David Thomas / Andrew Hurt: Programmieren mit Ruby Addison-Wesley 2002 siehe http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/382731965X/ Da ConTeXt ja teilweise Ruby-Skripte einsetzt, würde ich es gerne einem aktiven ConTeXter zukommen lassen. Ich dachte mal, ich sollte es selbst lernen, bin aber mit Python und Perl gut bedient. Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net
