\placecontent problems
by Idris Samawi Hamid 23 Jul '05

23 Jul '05

Dear gang: I have a \placecontent-type problem. I want to collect all the subsections and subsubsections into a list, then place that list into an appendix (conversion=Characters): \definecombinedlist[synopsis][subsection,subsubsection][textstyle=\tf] \setupcombinedlist [synopsis][alternative=c,textstyle=\tf] There are two problems: 1. If I place the content list within a chapter, the list disappears. It works if I place it before the chapter heading. Thus, I need a way to do \placesynopsis beneath a chapter heading; 2. \start-\stopappendices begins a new sectionblock, therefore \placesynopsis does nothing, even if I do not place it within a chapter/appendix. Thus (assuming we can solve problem 1) I need a way to change the conversion to Characters on the fly within the bodymatter sectionblock. I need, e.g. 1. A Chapter 2. Another Chapter A. An Appendix within the same sectionblock. Is this possible? I notice that conversion=Characters appears to be defined for the global sectionblock, but not for local headings. It would be nice if I could do something like \definehead[appendix][chapter] \setuphead[appendix][conversion=Characters] with the first instance of \appendix starting with `A' (i.e., decoupled from the chapter numbers). See the attached file for some experiments.

Position Box On Bottom Right Side
by Christoph Czarnetzki 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Hello! i want to put a box on the right, bottom side of my initial page. Its like \blank[10*big,force] but without the 10! Lets say i got three lines, then the third line should be the last line on this page. I thought aboud a \vbox with frame=off, which contents are \startalignment[left] and in a \startlines environment. As special i want to put a \hairline in that, with \textwidth length. Other things went very quickly, but this one seems very tricky... :-( ... for me. :-) Thanks for Help! Christoph

pararaph indent in footnote
by Alan Bowen 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

How does one get ConTeXt to indent and space paragraphs in footnotes according to the same rules as the body text? I have checked the manual but do not see how to adapt \setupfootnotes to do this, and my attempts thus far with \setupfootnotedefinition have not been unsuccessful either. Thanks for any help or pointers. Alan

Proper kerning of quotations in German
by Mojca Miklavec 21 Jul '05

21 Jul '05

Hello, I already noticed that English quotations are much better kerned than the German (also Slovenian) ones, today I also came across two articles about this. http://www.harald-harders.de/latex/lm-kerning-092.pdf http://www.dante.de/dante/events/eurotex/papers/TUT09.pdf If I understood it properly, the problem should have been addressed and solved already. Is there already any ConTeXt support for it? German/Slovenian/... can use either guillemots or normal quotation marks, so if the user wants to use guillemots (which are not the default), a simple mechanism has to exist, where the kerning is updated automatically when switching.

new beta

21 Jul '05

Hi, I'm currently uploading a beta with the most recent discussed fixes / extensions. The questiosn with regards to verse/poems triggered me into looking into the lines mechanism and i found out that the odd/even indentation was broken. As a result i rewrote part if the indenter. So, the following should work ok \setupindenting[medium] \setuplines[indenting=no] \startlines first second third fourth \stoplines \setuplines[indenting=yes] \startlines first second third fourth \stoplines \setuplines[indenting=odd] \startlines first second third fourth \stoplines \setuplines[indenting=even] \startlines first second third fourth \stoplines -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
