Re: [NTG-context] Renaming spot colours

Peter Rolf said > \definecolor[PANTONE 294CV] [c=1,m=.56,y=0,k=.18] > > % test \framed[background=color, backgroundcolor={PANTONE > 294CV}]{Test} > > \color[PANTONE 294CV] Test > > % the only thing that doesn't work is \PANTONE 294CV Thanks very much for responding Peter! Interesting behaviour - the above will process in ConTeXt, but to match the Corel name I need a space after the '294' as well, which results in: -- [MP to PDF] (./ifs-fmar-bk-mpgraph.1 [unknown MP special 294] ! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again> C \@@cl@@r ->C V etc. -- But in any case - did you get a functioning PDF file when you used the above definition? Despite the fact that ConTeXt completes its run, I get a broken file with your definition. Maybe this is because I am using multiple tints of the spot? My color defs look like this: \setupcolors[rgb=no,cmyk=no,spot=yes,state=start] \definecolor[PANTONE 294CV][c=1,m=.56,y=0,k=.18] \definecolor[IFSblue][{PANTONE 294CV}][p=1] \definecolor[IFSbluetint][{PANTONE 294CV}][p=.2] \definecolor[IFSblueheadertint][{PANTONE 294CV}][p=.12] \definecolor[IFSbluetabletint][{PANTONE 294CV}][p=.15] As I say, even with this definition (missing the final space) the PDF result won't open in Acrobat (colour space error). Does your open? Thanks again, much appreciated. Duncan dh(a)capdm.com

Initial Font Installation Question (Mac)
by David Wooten 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

Greetings all, I've been having a lot of fun struggling with the installation of a newly purchased font, and wanted to double check a preliminary question before I give in and ask a more thorough question ;) I'm working with Mac OS X, so I bought a font-set with both Mac TTF and Postscript files. The Postscript folders have 2 types of file for each fontname: .afm and another without a suffix. The names also have uppercase letters, such as AndulBooBol (a.k.a. Andulka Book Bold). For the texfont script, it apparently needs the .afm files and .pfb files. Thus: 1) Are these non-suffixed files the .pfb files in question? If so, should I rename (add .pfb to) them before trying to install them? (I could convert the TTF files to .pfb?) 2) Should I take away the UpperCaseLettering as well? Rename them to something more Berry-like? In fact, I've tried these things with no success, but before I spell out the details of my failure I thought I would get this straight. Kind regards, David Wooten

Some extra empty pages, why? And how to get an initial blank page with page number 0?
by Gerben Wierda 13 Mar '05

Fro my environment: > %\setuppapersize[B5][B4,landscape] > \setuppapersize[B5][B5] > \setupindenting[small] > \setuplayout[location=doublesided] > %\setuparranging[2SIDE] > \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] > % > \usemodule[lettri] > \def\ClearChapterQuote{\def\ChapterQuote{}} > \ClearChapterQuote > \newcommand{\ChQuoteFormat}[1]{\starttext% > %\raggedright% > \startalignment[left]% > \startnarrower[4*left] \noindent{\em #1}% > \stopnarrower\stopalignment\stoptext\blank} > \setuphead[chapter] > [page=left, > before={\ChQuoteFormat{\ChapterQuote}\noheaderandfooterlines% > \page[right]\blank[2*big]}, > after={\ClearChapterQuote\blank[3*big]}% > \noheaderandfooterlines] Without \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided], I get single sided layout (even if I have the \setuplayout statement, very confusing). If I do add \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided], I get the following: 1. Title page 2. Empty 3. Page with only a page numer 1 at the top 4. empty 5. Page with Contents 'chapter' 6. Page with quote 7. First page of chapter Except for pages 3 and 4 that is how I want it. Why are these pages there? They are not there if \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] is left out. My product file looks like this: > \startproduct prd_book > \project project_teoada > > \starttext > \start > \startstandardmakeup \ss > \hairline \start > \switchtobodyfont[20pt]\bf > \leftaligned{TEOADA}% > \stop \hairline \blank[line]\rightaligned{Gerben Wierda}% > \blank[10cm]\start\leftskip=10cm\hairline\stop > \rightaligned{2005}% > \stopstandardmakeup > \stop > > \startfrontmatter > \completecontent > \component c_guide > \stopfrontmatter > \component c_ch1 > \component c_ch2 > \component c_ch3 > \startappendices > \component c_app1 > \stopappendices > > \stoptext > > \stopproduct I have been trying a lot of permutations but so far without luck. Secondly, when I turn on 2xB5 on one B4 landscape and 2SIDE arrangement, I would like to have an initial blank page (with page number 0) so I can have my 2SIDE look just like a book would look. I have tried to get one with the \page command in various places and with various setups, but so far without *any* effect. I have been using the manual, the wiki and any documentation I have been able to find. So far no luck. Thanks, G

bib module: placepublications inserts the first line of each publication
by Michael Fuchs 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

Hi! Some of my bib-items will have more than one line in the list of publications produced by \placepublications. The first line of the entry will always be indented by (probably) one character. The output looks like: Bal01 Balzert, H. (2001). Lehrbuch der Software-Technik - Software-Entwicklung. Spektrum Akademischer Verlag. Sch04 Schmidt, C. (2004). Entwicklung eines Datenakquisitionssystems für das Crystal-Barrel-Experiment zur Messung photoinduzierter Reaktionen an ELSA. Dissertation, Universität Bonn. The indent does not appear, when I define the module to use a different author style by: \setuppublicationlist [ ... artauthor=\normalshortauthor,author=\normalshortauthor, ... ] Regards Michael

Why doesn't this margin= have an effect?
by Gerben Wierda 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

I am trying to get the itemized lists to be indented the same amount as my paragraph first lines (small). I have been trying to get this by adding margin=dimension but whatever dimension I put there, the result is the same: nothing. Example: \startitemize[n,packed,joinedup][margin=-1em] \item All X are Y; \item All Y are Z; \item Therefore, all X are Z. \stopitemize What am I doing wrong? G

Document structure - some questions
by Marcin Borkowski 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

Hello! I have quite a few questions about ConTeXt (and more coming, I guess!). As a newbie, many things seem difficult for me. For now, the questions are: How does \part exactly work? I could see: messing with pagenumbers; part title not appearing; strange behaviour in eg backmatter... How do exactly front, body, back matter and appendices environments work? How do the system modes (*...-modes) work exactly? I managed to make \startmode[*interaction] ... \stopmode work, but what about the others "starred" modes? What are the possible parameters for the \setupoutput command? Sorry for asking so many things... I hope that when I know the answers I will be able to put some articles on ConTeXt wiki, so that other people do not bother you with the same questions again and again. Greetings -- Marcin Borkowski

I tried to get one piece in a justified text to behave as follows: right aligned and with a jagged left edge. But what I tried influenced my entire document. Can someone explain me how to do this? G

some bib module questions
by Fei He 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

Folks, I am new beginner and have some rookie questions about using the bib module. 1. \setupcite[number][left=[, right=]] did not work. the citation still shows up in the text like (author, year) 2. either \completepublications or \placepublications wont show the publication list at the end of the paper without using \setup[pubs][criterium=all]. 3. \setuppublications[numbering=yes] fails to put a number before the publication list at the end of the paper. I got the most updated m-bib.zip from http://texaanhet.net/bib/ and copied those file to my local hard drive at ...\texmf\tex\context\m-bib\. Also I just updated my context to the new released version. By the way, I use pc and WinEdt. I probably made several mistakes. please help. thanks a lot. best, fei

Float numbering problem
by SebastianSturm＠t-online.de 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

Hi, since my Google search didn't bring up any solutions to this problem, I assume that this has not been reported yet. I'm trying to typeset a poster with more than one column and it occasionally happens that a large float (like a figure) precedes a small float (like a table). If the current column has so little remaining vertical space that only figure 2 would fit in, it includes them in reversed order. Which is not bad in principle, but unfortunately the floats also exchange their number. I included a minimal example with three tables and only one figure. The figure's caption reads "figure 3" while the last table is called "table 1". I am using gwTeX with beta ConTeXt (2005/03/03). All other important information can probably be obtained from the included log files. Best regards, Sebastian Sturm
