Paragraph internal graphic/layout inquiry.
by David Wooten 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Greetings all, Mr. Tufte has an interesting example from da Vinci: http:// trichotomic.net/Leonardo.jpg (76k). Is this type of layout currently possible (or perhaps a better question, wieldy) within ConTeXt? Kind regards, David Wooten

Footnote Follies
by John R. Culleton 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

Just finished a highly formatted job for a customer. Something occurred that isn't supposed to happen with Tex. The reference number for a footnote was on page "a" and the footnote itself was on page "a+1." As it happened the footnote was placed at the end of a paragraph and the paragraph ended in a left parens. So I had: blah blah blah.)\footnote{text of note} Also \goodbreak and \clubpenalty 10000 in combination still do not prevent all orphan (club) lines. Perhaps there is a magic Context incantation that I missed. -- John Culleton

colorizing item numbers
by Jason Knight 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

I'm new to ConTeXt and puzzling over a text I'm trying to set a text where item numbers (or letters, or symbols for that matter) need to be either color or grayscale. Here's what I'm thinking, though, obviously the code doesn't work: \startitemize[\color[darkred]{n}, packed, inmargin] . . . \stopitemize Any ideas? Thanks! -- Jason Knight Systems-Analyst-at-large "They fix 'em, I break 'em. Thus, analysis."

keyboard style tilde
by Stuart Jansen 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

How do I get a keyboard style tilde? As in: ~sjansen The tilde character is roughly aligned with the middle horizontal part of the s. \~ and \lettertilde produce a tilde that has been raised so that it can be used as an accent. I don't want that. -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.

horoffset + itemize + positiongraphics = misaligned graphics
by Stuart Jansen 18 Jul '05

18 Jul '05

I'm working on a rather complex document containing frequent use of positional graphics. Unfortunately, I've discovered what I expect will be a pretty nasty problem to fix. When I combine horoffset, startitemize, & positiongraphics the graphics are placed in the wrong spot. I've managed to cook up the simple test case below which demonstrates the problem. =============== \setuplayout[ horoffset=.5cm ] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupcolors[state=start] \defineoverlay [backgraphics] [\positionoverlay{backgraphics}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=backgraphics] \newcounter\CurrentCallout \startMPpositiongraphic{mypos:line} path p ; initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{from}}) ; p := lrxy..urxy..ulxy..cycle ; p := center p shifted (-.5cm,0mm) -- center p ; pickup pencircle scaled 2pt ; drawarrow p withcolor red ; anchor_box(\MPanchor{\MPvar{from}}) ; \stopMPpositiongraphic \def\myitem% {\doglobal\increment\CurrentCallout\item \hpos{myitem:b:\CurrentCallout}{\strut} \startpositionoverlay{backgraphics} \setMPpositiongraphic{myitem:b:\CurrentCallout}{mypos:line} \stoppositionoverlay} \starttext \startitemize[n,serried] \dorecurse{30}{\myitem\input tufte } \stopitemize \stoptext =============== -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.

how to number poetry?
by Paul Tremblay 18 Jul '05

18 Jul '05

What is the best way to number lines of poetry? 1 This is the first line This is the second line ... 5 this is the fifth ... 10 this is the tenth. I can supply the number myself. I really don't want the numbers in the margin. Instead, I want the whole poem indented right, with the numbers left of the indent. I have tried using tabulate, but tabulate doesn't let me control the space between "lines," or really cells. Thanks Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry(a)iglou.com * ************************
