by David Munger 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

Hello, Is it possible to get page numbers (or a chapter number) displayed in a citation, e.g. \cite[authoryears]{pp. 163-170}[davidson2001] and see \cite[authoryear]{chap. 3}[davidson2001] would format as: (Davidson, 2001, pp. 163-170) and see Davidson (2001) chap. 3 Thanks for any clue, David

Several questions about format generation
by Stefan Wachter 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

Hi all, in the diverse documentation about ConTeXt installation I find the instruction "texexec --make ... --language ..." for generating format files. Several questions arise: 1. What is the consequence of selecting specific languages after the --make option? Have the generated formats the same functionality, i.e. do they differ only in the user interface? In particular, do the different formats have the same hyphenation capabilities? 2. In the "How to install ConTeXt" manual I read that the "nl"-format is needed for some postprocessing features built in texexec. Is this still valid? The TeXLive distribution of 2004 contains only the cont-en.fmt file. 3. Is using the --language xy option equivalent to the using the \mainlanguage[xy] macro? 4. In case that several format files exist: which one is selected by texexec? Thanks for your attention, --Stefan

Choosing an encoding - what are the consequences?
by Stefan Wachter 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

Hi all! I am on the burdensome path to understanding font handling in ConText. Now I wonder what the consequences are with choosing certain encodings. For example if I choose "8a" encoding (called "Adobe standard encoding"): 1. There are lots of empty slots in this encoding. What does ConText do if a symbol that is to be typeset is not contained in an encoding? 2. Can I ommit the 8a encoding in map files when PDF documents are generated (because it is the Adobe standard encoding)? 3. Somewhere I read that "texnansi" is a preferred encoding. Why? Thanks for your attention, --Stefan

URL to d-en-all.pdf

18 Feb '05

I want to point people to the d-en-all.pdf example on the pragma-ade.nl site. Unfortunately the navigation of the site is now all pdf based and my browsers don't handle that well. Can someone either give me the URI for d-en-all.pdf or tell me how to navigate pragma-ade.nl in html only? -- John Culleton Short list of publishing/marketing books: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book packagers/coaches/consultants: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf Printers who are SPAN sponsors: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/printers.pdf

AntykwaTorunska fonts: how to use ?
by VnPenguin 17 Feb '05

17 Feb '05

Hi all, Until now, following the guide at http://contextgarden.net/Vietnamese I can use vietnamese UTF-8: --------------------------------------------------------------- \enableregime[utf] \setupencoding[default=t5] \usetypescript[palatino][t5] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] \starttext Vietnamese UTF8 text here \stoptext --------------------------------------------------------------- Just found that the font AntykwaTorunska has also t5 enc (vietnamese support confirmed by font's author too): in file map/dvips/antt/t5-antt.map I see: t5-anttb AntykwaTorunska-Bold "enct5-antt ReEncodeFont" <t5-antt.enc <anttb.pfb t5-anttl AntykwaTorunskaLigh-Regular "enct5-antt ReEncodeFont" <t5-antt.enc <anttl.pfb t5-anttm AntykwaTorunskaMed-Regular "enct5-antt ReEncodeFont" <t5-antt.enc <anttm.pfb t5-anttr AntykwaTorunska-Regular "enct5-antt ReEncodeFont" <t5-antt.enc <anttr.pfb ... But unfortunately I don't know how to use it ? I have a look at mfonts.pdf but this document is too "technical" for a ConTeXt's newbie like me :) Anyone could give me some help to use AntykwaTorunska fonts with t5 encoding please. Thank you in advance, Q.

paragraphs in starttables
by Peter Münster 16 Feb '05

Hello, while playing around with starttables, footnotes and paragraphs in starttables, I found some problems. Here is the first one, I would like to get a paragraph in 2 columns: \def\SomeText{\dorecurse{20}{hallo }} \starttext \starttables[s1|p(13em)|l|p(13em)|] \VL \SomeText \VL xxx \VL \SomeText \postponefootnotes\footnote{a footnote} \VL \AR \VL \SomeText \VL \TWO{Not ok, since too much distance to the line at the left.}\VL\AR \VL \SomeText \VL xxx \VL \SomeText \VL \AR \stoptables \stoptext \def\SomeText{\dorecurse{2}{hallo }} \starttext \starttables[s1|p(13em)|l|p(13em)|] \VL \SomeText \VL xxx \VL \SomeText \postponefootnotes\footnote{a footnote} \VL \AR \VL \SomeText \VL \TWO\JustLeft{\vtop{\setupinterlinespace\hsize 14em Better, but I need to calculate the hsize, and there are other workarounds for correct vertical spacing. Furthermore, the footnote is lost.\strut \blank[small]}} \VL\AR \VL \SomeText \VL xxx \VL \SomeText \VL \AR \stoptables \stoptext TIA for any help! Greetings, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Framed text splitting over pages
by Slawek Zak 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

Hi, I'd like to split some source code over a couple of pages. I'd like it to have distinct background and rounded frame around. Search on google comes up with an email from Hans answering some fellow wanting the same thing, but the technique used was textbackgrounds which doesn't give me the frame, just the background. Is there any way to tickle framed+splitfloat or any other macro to achieve what I want? Thanks in advance! /S
