Re: [NTG-context] \page[+2]

Thanks, Matthias and Hans, for the tip about \page[+2]. I have not yet studied a ConTeXt presentation (read, "slides") macros, so it may well be that that use is very practical. (In any of the slides packages I know in LaTeX, it certainly would be.) As for Hans's suggestion, that it might be used to "create two empty pages", say again I think it's great - it would be better yet if the functionality \page[-2] existed to erase the last two pages, say ;-) Thanks again, elena

Regimes to be supported; Comments?
by Mojca Miklavec 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Hello, Some time ago there was a discussion about extending support for different regimes in ConTeXt. The list of (to-be-)supported regimes probably depends strongly on the implementation (ruby+iconv?). I collected a preliminary list of candidate regimes and possible synonyms (some synonyms are listed there for backward compatibility and have to remain there), leaving out most of eastern encodings (not because they shouldn't be on the list, but because I'm completely ignorant about that). Hans suggested to post this to the mailing list first to get some useful comments and suggestions. ##### The following question should probably go in a separate thread, but it's a very similar thematic. In July 2006 Ljubljana will host people from around 85 coutries of the world. One of the very ambitious organizers is dreaming for already a couple of years to print the participant names (on honourable mentions for example, ...) in both latinic transcription and as they are written in original (under an assumption that the names are properly entered in a UTF-8 database). This is probably not possible to do for every single obscure language, but does it in general sound like: a) Good luck (I don't want to be on your place)! b) Take a good (commercial) program c) If you're ready to invest the rest of your time (forget about hobbies!), it's probably doable in LaTeX or ConTeXt until then č) Forget about TeX - it will be possible to solve this problem one day with unicode & one of the new TeX engines. But until then, it's not worth the effort, because any effort you may invest will become obsolete in a couple of years. To be honest, even some people who will thanslate the materials into the native language, will probably do that with paper, pencil & scanner. ##### Mojca And here the encodings: # ISO ISO-8859-1 Western ISO-8859-2 Central European ISO-8859-3 South European ISO-8859-4 Baltic ISO-8859-5 Cyrillic ISO-8859-6 Arabic ISO-8859-7 Greek ISO-8859-8 Hebrew Visual ISO-8859-8-I Hebrew (???)

\parbox, \framed, ... (was: Strange behaviour of \bTABLE ... \eTABLE)

Actually, "\\" is a part of \fbox{\begin{tabular}[c]{l}1\\2\\3\end{tabular}}\par while I was talking about typesetting a midaligned parbox: \parbox[c]{1em}{1 2 3} So I have to say: no, there's no "\\" present in "\parbox[c]{1em}{1 2 3}". But please forget about different line-braking than in LaTeX \parbox. It may be that different parameters for penalties are set anyway. I mainly wrote this because of the problems in live.contextgarden.net which is not fixed yet (see http://contextgarden.net/Vertically_centred) However, some other questions arised here: 1.) I saw \hbox, \vbox, \vtop, \lbox, \cbox, \rbox, \sbox, \tbox, \bbox on page 106 of cont-eni.pdf. But if I understand it properly, there's no alternative to LaTeX \parbox command. 1.1.) After grep-ing the LaTeX tree for "\parbox", my disk ran out of space 1.2.) \bTABLE ... \eTABLE seems too complicated to me to be used for such a simple thing as asking for a paragraph of a certain width, centered with regard to the current line. So would it be possible to implement \parbox in ConTeXt (or if someone can point me to an already existing command). The LaTeX definition is in tex\latex\base\latex.ltx, line 4692 (at least in my version). It does not have to have the same syntax, but at least the basic functionality. I also often need some stuff to be centered vertically, for example [big image] ----> some arrows and text ----> [big image] I use \bTABLE ... \eTABLE or \vcenter for that, but it's not the most perfect way of doing it. 2.) Is there any *neutral* version of a \framed command? To explain what I want to achive, an example is probably most illustrative: \starttext Hasselt $\displaystyle{\rm is: \matrix{\rm nice\cr\rm sunny\cr\rm domestic}}$, but the houses there \framed{$\displaystyle{\rm are: \matrix{\rm too\ high\cr\rm too\ bricky}}$} \stoptext Thank you, Mojca

background of a table and fillinlines
by Jessica Holle 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Hi, today I have real questions :-) I have a picture for the background which is defined in this way: \definelayer[BackLayer][state=start] \setupbackgrounds[text][background=BackLayer] \setlayer[BackLayer][x=9cm,y=9cm]{\externalfigure[back]} and a table, which is defined like this: \bTABLE \setupTABLE[column][1][width=2.8cm,align={middle,lohi}] \setupTABLE[column][2][width=2cm,frame=on,rightframe=off,align ={middle,lohi}] \setupTABLE[column][3][width=10.3cm,align ={right,lohi},leftframe=off] \setupTABLE[column][4][width=1.9cm,align={middle,lohi}] \bTR \bTD {\bf Tag} \eTD \bTD[nc=2] {\bf \midaligned{Ausgef"uhrte Arbeiten, Unterricht usw.}} \eTD \bTD {\bf Stundenanzahl} \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD {\bf Montag} \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \startitemize \tx \item \item \item \item \stopitemize \eTD \bTD 7,7 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD {\bf Dienstag} \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \startitemize \tx \item \item \item \item \stopitemize \eTD \bTD 7,7 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD {\bf Mittwoch} \eTD \bTD \eTD \bTD \startitemize \tx \item \item \item \item \stopitemize \eTD \bTD 7,7 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE This table varied in its height. One week there are more items and one week the are less items. Now to my problem. I want to have this graphic in the back of the table. Always in the middle of the table. The width of the table is always the same. I can place the background but I shouldn't have a absolute position. The position should vary concerning to the height of the table. Is this possible? I've found nothing in the PDF's to this problem. Another thing are fillinrules: can I define the look of the line? Now it is always a line, but I want a thinner line or points. Like I can define in \setupunderbar but in \setupfillinrules I did't find this option. Hope somebody can help... Big thanks Greetings Jessica

\page[+2]
by Elena Fraboschi 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Dear All: This is like going to school: every evening I study a very narrow topic in ConTeXt, the idea being "Si va piano, si va lontano" ("go slow and you'll get far"). So last night I was to study cross-references, and that was simple enough EXCEPT... I could not come up with a practical application for \page[+2] or \page[-2]. I understand the concept (I think): it is two pages ahead, or two pages back, relative to the current page. But could anyone tell me in what context (sorry for the pun) would that be used? I must be missing something. How could I possibly know what's on page "current + 2" or "current - 2" unless I compile, in which case the notation would be equivalent to inserting cross-references manually? As I said, I am missing something, but what. Thanks in advance, elena

custom itemize bullet
by Stuart Jansen 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

I've added a custom font and defined symbols from it: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \loadmapfile[texnansi-glambats.map] \definefontsynonym [GlamoconRetrobats][texnansi-glambats][encoding=texnansi] \def\GlamoconRetrobatsSym#1{\getglyph{GlamoconRetrobats}{\char#1}} \startsymbolset[Glamocon Retrobats] \definesymbol[GuruBullet][\GlamoconRetrobatsSym{121}] % other symbols \stopsymbolset \starttext \symbol[Glamocon Retrobats][GuruBullet] \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% This produces the right symbol. But I can't figure out how to use that bullet in an itemized list. I don't think I can use \usesymbols because in some lists I want the regular bullet, and in others I want the custom bullet. Any tips would be appreciated. -- Stuart Jansen <sjansen(a)gurulabs.com> Guru Labs, L.C.

Insufficient symbol fonts
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 28 Jul '05

28 Jul '05

Hi, preparing a presentation, I am into errors like ! Math formula deleted: Insufficient symbol fonts. l.67 \symbol[psi]\low{\tfx{\it i\/}+1} $-$ 120, again and again. Admittedly, my font knowledge is probably the worst of my tex skills. Is there a way to increase the number of available symbol fonts? A quick hack would do, since I am kind of under pressure... Thanks, Eckhart
