Wrap a url
by David Arnold 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

All, I have: \setupurl [style=bold] \useURL[craig][http://online.redwoods.cc.ca.us/instruct/darnold/CalcProj/Fal l98/CraigA/project3.htm] \from[craig] But it runs off my slide before wrapping. I'd like to break this up so it is on two lines and centered. Any suggestions?

Context index and sorting question
by sjoerd siebinga 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

Hi all, I am currently working on a dictionary with multiple indices of older language stages like, Old English, Old Norse, Greec, Sanskrit, Hittite, etc. Most of these languages have different characters, accents and sorting rules than English. In enco-ini.tex I found the \definesortkey command, but it is not entirely clear to me how I could use this command for the individual indices instead of for the overall language (in my case english). Or even if this is possible at all? Could someone tell me how I can use the \definesortkey command or for that matter any other ConTeXt mechanism to define sortrules for individual indices? Regards Sjoerd PS why does Texutil strip accents \' \~ \` \" \^ but not \= ?

layers and papersize
by Tom Fossen 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

This is probably a beginners question. While trying to understand the layer-mechanism I made a drawing which is meant as a background for a schedule in a magazine. I add the information within this drawing using the 'register' option I found on page 263 of the Metafun manual. Here is the example in a minimal form: \starttext \definelayer[rooster] \startuseMPgraphic{list} path p, s ; p := unitsquare scaled 3cm superellipsed 0.84 ; s := flex ((2.5cm,3.0cm), (10.0cm,3.0cm), (6.5cm,-0.5cm)) ; draw p withpen pencircle scaled 5pt withcolor .625white ; draw s withpen pencircle scaled 3pt withcolor .625white ; register ("da",2.4cm,2.4cm,(.3cm,2.8cm)) ; register ("name",5.6cm,0.6cm,(5.4cm,3.5cm)) ; register ("who",6cm,3cm,(3.4cm,2.8cm)) ; register("color",1.5cm,0.5cm,(7.6cm,-0.6cm)) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \setMPlayer[rooster][da]{\framed [width=\MPlayerwidth,height=\MPlayerheight,align=right] {pos 1}} \setPlayer[rooster][name]{\framed [ [width=\MPlayerwidth,height=\MPlayerheight] {pos 2}} \setMPlayer[rooster][who]{\framed [width=\MPlayerwidth,height=\MPlayerheight,align=right] {pos 3}} \setMPlayer[rooster][color]{\framed [width=\MPlayerwidth,height=\MPlayerheight] {pos 4}} \getMPlayer[rooster] {\useMPgraphic{list}} \stoptext This works for the standard papersize. But I want this to work in a magazine on A5. So I add: \setuppapersize [A5][A4] \setuparranging [2UP,rotated,doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout[margin=0pt,width=middle] followed by the fragment above. But now all of the texts ("pos x") end up somewhere in the left corner of the page. Only the drawing is on its right place. I tried to experiment with adding 'position= on' or 'off' to the 'definelayer' command. No difference. Where are the misunderstandings on my side? tom fossen

OmniOutliner>ConTeXt Export plugin available
by Adam Lindsay 10 Jan '05

10 Jan '05

[apologies for the cross-post.] Hi all, My export plugin for OmniOutliner is now available for use with both OmniOutliner Professional and Standard: <http://oo2contml.sourceforge.net/> It exports structural markup to an XML file that's able to be processed directly by the ConTeXt TeX macro package. (That is to say, you can simply type this at the command line: texexec --pdf MyOutline.xml ...and you get a pdf.) There's a lot of documentation (but basic operation is really simple). Omni's support people have asked that I take plugin support questions off the OO-Users list, so there's a support mailing list at the above link as well. I'm also soliciting feedback on further directions for this plugin. I can imagine three possible directions: 1) Output in ConTeXt's TeX syntax, 2) Output a simplified structural XHTML (OO3's current offerings, while gorgeous, are not so easy for hacking up a basic web page for use with your own CSS), 3) Input the ConTeXt-XML format for basic round-tripping from Outline to ConTeXt to Outline. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

acro bat 7
by Hans Hagen 09 Jan '05

09 Jan '05

Hi Willy, [cc to context list] Long ago we mailed about acrobat messing up colors when using transparencies. Well, it looks like it happens again. When transparencies are used, all colors are affected (become darker). In previous versions, the pag ecache was the troublemaker, dunno what causes it now, since i cannot influence the cache. Can you test this on your machine as well?

by Tobias Burnus 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

Hello, as Heise.de is informing (06.01.2005 10:44), Adobe offers now AR7. "Adobe provides Acrobat Reader 7 for Linux [Update] Adobe provides a beta version of the free Adobe Reader 7 for Linux, shortly after the release of the PDF generator Acrobat 7. Interested parties can register for the beta program at the reader-download page [1]. [...] As previously announced, in Acrobat Reader 7 a Yahoo toolbar is installed, which blocks pop ups and aids with the internet search." [1] http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html I've to admit that I couldn't find it there, but I was told that one can find it here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=unix (though I fail to open that page, maybe to many people read heise.de). Tobias PS: A bit late happy new year wishes to all.
