\definelayout question
by Paul Tremblay 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Thanks Adam for the suggestions on the wiki page. You point out that I can use \definelayout for odd and even pages. I assume I can use this command in place of \setuplayout? I had a problem using \definelayout. I found that I had to use a \setuplayout before my text, or the first page would not get formatted. Is the ConTeXt code right below? Also, is there any way to change the layout for the first page? \definelayout[first] [.... Thanks Paul \part{} \definelayout[odd][ topspace=.5in, % the space at the very top of the page backspace=3in, % the space in the gutter header=2in, % the space for headers footer=2in, % the space for footers leftmargin=1in, % the space for margin notes rightmargin=1.5in, % the space for right margin notes width=3in, % the width of the body text height=7in % the height of the body text ] \definelayout[even][ topspace=.5in, % the space at the very top of the page backspace=3in, % the space in the gutter header=2in, % the space for headers footer=2in, % the space for footers leftmargin=1in, % the space for margin notes rightmargin=1.5in, % the space for right margin notes width=3in, % the width of the body text height=4in % the height of the body text ] \setuplayout % the header for the first page of part 1 \definetext[partStart1][header][\vbox{Chapter 1 \vskip5pt Author}] \setuphead[part][header=partStart1] -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry(a)iglou.com * ************************

FO and ConTeXt: my new wiki page
by Paul Tremblay 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

I have a new page on the wiki http://contextgarden.net/Page_layout This page is my best effort at describing how someone who is used to FO would do the same thing in ConTeXt. The page is just one of many I hope to write on FO and ConTeXt. I'm sure I got some things wrong, so any help would be appreciated. One thing I was not able to do was customize headers and footers for blank pages that end a part (such as a chapter). I need to include a section in my page describing my inability to do this. Thanks Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry(a)iglou.com * ************************

Unexpected changes with pdfeTeX 1.20 (?)
by Steffen Wolfrum 03 Mar '05

03 Mar '05

Hi, while looking closer at the result of typesetting an older (Nov. 2004) document with todays pdfeTeX and context stuff I noticed that the layout of my TOC changed: Normally I write all setups in a SetupEnvironment file that is loaded at the beginning of a project structure. Like this: \startproject WLTHR_1 \environment SetupEnvironment_WLTHR \startfrontmatter \component Kapitel/Titelei \component Kapitel/Vorwort \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \component Kapitel/Kap_1 \component Kapitel/Kap_2 \component Kapitel/Kap_3 \component Kapitel/Kap_4 \component Kapitel/Kap_5 \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \component Kapitel/Katalog \component Kapitel/Literatur \stopbackmatter \stopproject But as in SetupEnvironment also \setupindenting is set, now the TOC gets this indenting too! Once (2004, before pdfeTeX 1.20 ?) this didn't affect the generated \completecontent - only the real \component files. Is this change known? Are there more differences like this, so one knows what to look for when typesetting older documents with new TeX (ConTeXt?) files? Steffen A minimal test looks like this: \starttext \showframe \showgrid \definecombinedlist[content] [chapter,section][level=section] \setupindenting[30pt]% <---------------- \completecontent% <--------------- %\setupindenting[30pt]% <---------------- \chapter{Kapitel} text \section{Unterkapitel} text \section{Unterkapitel} text \stoptext

Fixed spaces & overfullrule
by Mats Broberg 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

Dear listmembers, I have two questions tonight: 1: Is it possible to define and then use different kind of fixed and non-breaking spaces in ConTeXt? For something I am working with I need 1/8th of an em, 1/4th of an em, and 1/3rd of an em - but would ideally want to be able to define any kind of fraction of an em. 2: Is it possible to have the overfull rules printed out in the margins? That way one can flip through the pages fast and instantly get an idea of the quality of the typesetting. Best regards, Mats Broberg

Here comes a very minimal example that *still* runs 8 times under Mac (2 times under Win)! Why? Given a main TEST.tex file and besides that a PARTS folder containing the files ONE.tex and TWO.tex : TEST.tex \startproject TEST \startfrontmatter \component PARTS/ONE.tex \component PARTS/TWO.tex \stopfrontmatter \stopproject ONE.tex \startcomponent ONE text \stopcomponent TWO.tex \startcomponent TWO text \stopcomponent The Mac output (plus the Win output) were unfortunately bounced back - Message body is too big: 59628 bytes with a limit of 40 KB. But if someone is interested I can send it privately. Steffen
