\startexample
by David Arnold 13 Nov '04

13 Nov '04

All, I have this example I would like to typeset. \startexample Show that $0.\overline{621}$ is a rational number. \stopexample In this case, there are three digits under the repeating bar. If we let $x=0.\overline{621}$, then multiply by 1000, we have \startformula \eqalign{1000x&=621.621621\dots\cr x&=\phantom{62}0.621621\dots.} \stopformula Subtracting, \startformula \eqalign{999x&=621\cr x&={621\over 999}.} \stopformula Dividing numerator and denominator by 27 (or first by 9 then by 3), we find that $0.\overline{621}=23/37$. Thus, $0.\overline{621}$, being the ratio of two integers, is rational. I have defined: \defineenumeration [example] [location=serried, text=Example, before=\blank, after=\blank style=slanted] What I would really like is an enumeration where only the example state is in slanted type, then the solution follows (without an indent) in upright (normal) font. At the end of the solution, I'd like a little symbol at the lower right to indicate the end of the solution, then a little blank space before continuing the narrative. Can someone help me with this?

clashing filenames for modules
by Hans Hagen 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

Hi, As reaction on an earlier remark on this list concerning clashing names between modules (*-layout): \usemodule[layout] can also be used as: \usemodule[t][layout] which means that the third party module will be loaded.

\in{hyperref}[tableref] at first char of line causes misplaced paragraph
by Nigel King 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Hi, This has bugged me for a number of years and I have only just realised the exact cause. Previous requests to solve table and figure spacing problems are all due to this I think. Basically the hyperreference in the first character of a paragraph mangles the paragraph formatting. Below is a minimum (I think) file which demonstrates the problem very clearly. \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupwhitespace[big] \starttext \input tufte \startbuffer[] \bTABLE[width=2.5in] \bTR \bTD \input tufte \eTD\eTR \eTABLE \stopbuffer \placetable [right] [tab:1] {A Table} {\getbuffer[]} \input tufte \in{Table}[tab:1] this paragraph does not format correctly because the hypereference is at the first character of the paragraph. Note that the spacing (before) is incorrect as well as the width. T\in{able}[tab:1] this paragraph does format correctly because the hypereference is not using the first character of the paragraph. \input tufte \stoptext TIA Nigel King

Re: [NTG-context] Tex or Context Editors.

Hi Idriss, I had a look at WinEdt and it is very tex oriented, but i have seen any reference to Context. Do you see some advantages for Context use (I have seen support for tex tables, project (Don't know which kind ..)) ? Thanks.

Thanks all, Unfortunately, for the moment i wouldn't use emacs but i have tried scite. The first problem i can see is that it does not handle multiple files opening, color setup isn't straight forward (Have to deal with hexa values) .. Apart from this, looks fine. It seems like WinEdt is a lot more oriented towards Tex and friends writing (Has even grammatical correction). What about texwork then ? Thanks for your suggestions.

Thanks anyway. > >David > Hi David, A few months ago I had to use steps in my presentations, but since I could not use thouroughly s-pre-60.tex (and the examples given in s-pre-61.tex) I ended up writing a few macros which work fine with ConTeXt and the presentation modules.
