poster
by Zunbeltz 21 Jun '04

Hi, I'm trying to do a scientific poster in latex and i've some problem. now i want to try it in context. I need two things 1) set a backgroud for the paper (A0 size) with gradient color 2) Deal with textblocks (like the textpos package of latex). This package makes a grid (dont printing it), for example 16x25 part (width and height). And then you can say \begin{textblock}{2}(0,3) .. \end{textbloc} This make a bloc 2 unit width in the (0,3) position. I'm quite new to context, and i don't know if it can be done.

\hyphenatedfile
by Peter Münster 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

Hello, I try to build a macro, that prints special characters as \type and hyphenates as \hyphenatedfile. I can use now : and ;, but the characters ?, !, # and \ are still not working, and spaces are lost. Could someone help please? Here are my tries: file env.tex: \startenvironment env \useencoding[ffr] \mainlanguage[fr] \unprotect \def\reactivateLostActivations{\catcode`:=\@@active\catcode`;=\@@active} \appendtoks\reactivateLostActivations\to\everystarttext \bgroup \catcode`;=12 \catcode`?=12 \catcode`!=12 \gdef\cleanedupSemicolon{;} \gdef\cleanedupQuestmark{?} \gdef\cleanedupExclamark{!} \catcode`\;=\@@active \catcode`?=\@@active \catcode`!=\@@active \gdef\protectChars{\let;\cleanedupSemicolon % \let?\cleanedupQuestmark \let!\cleanedupExclamark % does not work \protectlabels} \egroup \protect \def\File#1{{\tt\protectChars\hyphenatedfile{#1}}} %\let\File\typ % does not work %\let\File\type % does not work \stopenvironment file test.tex: \environment env \starttext bla: bla? bla! bla; bla, this works now. \hskip10cm \File{lost space/file with;strange:charac?ters~/ < and > /end!} % And it would be nice, if I could use the following characters too: % ?, !, # and \ \stoptext In fact, I'm looking for something like this: \documentclass[frenchb]{article} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage{listings,babel} \lstset{breaklines=true,basicstyle=\ttfamily} \begin{document} \hsize8cm\noindent \lstinline{hööah:aloh/aa?lha llol!loh%lloh#allhal\lohhll;ohohal~loll ohalölo} \end{document} Perhaps, it could be possbible to port listings.sty to ConTeXt?

Hi All! I need to supress the numbering in floating figures. I have used: \definefloat[figure][figures] \setupfloat[figure][location=middle] \setupcaption [figure] [location=bottom, style=\bfx, number=no] But this doesn't work. What do I need to change? Thanks and regards, -priya.

Two level declaration using "vardef".
by vinuth madinur 20 Jun '04

20 Jun '04

Hello everybody, One small query (:-} In a two level definition like: def test(expr p)= __temp_call(p) enddef; def __temp_call(expr p)(text t)= ........ enddef; so as to allow definitions for macros like "draw". Now, I want to have a macro similar to "draw" but also I want to have a suffix attached to the macro name. so, I did something like: vardef test@#(expr p)= __temp_call@#(p) enddef; vardef __temp_call@#(expr p)(text t)= ........ enddef; But this will obviously not work. But then I also have to define the macro with "vardef" inorder to have "@#" suffix. Can someone please help me here? Thanks.

PPCHTeX and (non)standard bond angles
by Mojca Miklavec 18 Jun '04

18 Jun '04

Perhaps there is some other better place to post this question, but since "ConTeXt" has put quite some effort to be compatible with it and since I cannot subscribe to ntg-ppchtex: I've tried to draw some chemical formulas with PPCTeX and wasn't able to find any option, allowing to visualize sp2 hibridisation on ONE atoms (i.e. 120 degrees). It is possible to make some "approximation" (2,4,7 for example), but it looks far away from perfect - the angles should be EXACTLY 120 degrees in that case (the same goes for NEWMAN). (some other, but maybe more exotic problems include PH_3, NH_3 for example, not forgetting about water) H / P-H \ H - Does there exist anything that would make SB and other bonds in ONE extent to the center of atom (the centar atom needs not be specified if it is C atom); perhaps R? How may I draw '/\/\/' for heksane (with angle 109 degrees)? - How can I name only one atom in the ring? (with the other places being filled with lines) Thank you, Mojca Miklavec

\startlinenumbering and \starttyping
by Nikolai Weibull 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

I hope I'm missing something, because these commands don't seem to interact flawlessly. What I do now is \startlinenumbering \startfiletyping Kenneth Brown recent conduct has been rather unacceptable in my humble opinion. It is, perhaps, not a coincidence that his last name is the name of the colour of poo. \stopfiletyping \stoplinenumbering This causes an overfull hbox though: Overfull \hbox (17.62482pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 196--196 [] | \hbox(10.41603+4.05064)x0.0 .\glue(\leftskip) 17.62482 .\hbox(10.41603+4.05064)x0.0 ..\rule(10.41603+4.05064)x0.0 ..\glue 0.0 plus 1.0fil minus 1.0fil .\penalty 10000 .\glue(\parfillskip) 0.0 plus 1.0fil .\glue(\rightskip) 0.0 .etc. The lines don't go beyond even half the width of the normal paragraph.

pagination problem with \startitemize[columns]
by Nikolai Weibull 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

I sent a response to an earlier thread about this, but I don't know if it got through (my mail was down later that day). Anyway, here's an example of something that gets messed up. Text following the itemize doesn't get paginated properly. Having a new chapter after it seems to fix it from there on, though. \starttext \chapter{One} \dorecurse{7}{\input zapf \par\relax} \startitemize[columns,four] \dorecurse{12}{\nop \type{[:alnum:]}} \stopitemize \dorecurse{7}{\input zapf \par\relax} \stoptext This fails for \startitemize[columns] as well. It seems that the problem arises when the itemize is pushed onto the second page. Remove the first \dorecurse{7}{\input ...} and it works fine... Here's an example where the following chapter will be typeset correctly: \starttext \chapter{One} \dorecurse{7}{\input zapf \par\relax} \startitemize[columns,four] \dorecurse{12}{\nop \type{[:alnum:]}} \stopitemize \dorecurse{7}{\input zapf \par\relax} \chapter{Two} \dorecurse{7}{\input zapf \par\relax} \stoptext nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}
