Hi Hans, again the stretch option kills the defined \setupTABLE[column][1][width=1cm,align=left] \setupTABLE[column][4][width=1cm,align=middle] (see previous example) Isn't it possible to define the total width of a table and the width of some columns (here 1 and 4) in order to let only the undefined width of column 2 and 3 be flexible (stretchable)?

TeX Showcase updated
by Gerben Wierda 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

I have finally gotten around to adding a few entries to the TeX Showcase at http://tug.org/texshowcase (some were submitted 2 years ago and at that time put in a To Do mailbox because I was to busy studying, I am reasonably ashamed it took me so long to catch up) The added entries (some are really impressive) are: - cover.tex (tiling with pstricks) - program_sample.tex (uses ConTeXt & XeTeX, very cutting edge ;-) - scorecard.mp (very nice metapost project) - cave.pdf (also very nice) - poster.tex (for a linguistics conference) - 0309Newsletter.tex (your basic newsletter, but not in Quark or whatever) - learning_early.tex (screen document) - LM-Volume-manuscript.tex (hyperref showcase) Given the number of additions, I decided to make an announcement of it and spam it on the lists I am on....

Another plant in the garden: modules
by Patrick Gundlach 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

Dear ConTeXters, I have planted a small bush in the garden, which is called 'modules'. I collect third party modules and put them in one place. One of the things the authors (and of course all ConTeXt users) will hopefully get soon is an automatic synchronization with CTAN. I am in contact with the CTAN maintainers about that. The service will grow during the nice summer months, so please send me all the modules that you have on your hard disks but never published yet. You can find it at <http://modules.contextgarden.net>.

arranging + multipage \bTABLE + transparent color = bug?
by Johan Sandblom 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

The following code compiles flawlessly but the pdf that is generated opens with the error "Could not find the Extended Graphics State named 'Tr1'." in Acrobat Reader 7 for Linux (and Windows for that matter). Earlier readers give less informative messages but in all cases the pdf has almost entirely empty pages. If the second line is uncommented (so there is no arranging) there is no problem. If the color is non-transparent, there is no problem. If the table needs less than 4 sheets to be arranged on, there is no problem. Is this known, expected, fixable?
