Dear ConTeXt users, I have started the new wiki. All pages from the old one have moved to the new location, except for some user-pages (still to be done). Also, there is a new location for texshow-web. (as usual, please send me *any* kind of comment). Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net texshow-web: http://texshow.contextgarden.net

side figure and typing
by jimarin＠bayesinf.com 24 Jul '04

24 Jul '04

Hi all ! let us imagine we have defined the following command: \def\SideFigure#1#2#3#4#5% { \placefigure[#1]{#2}{\externalfigure[#3][width=#4\makeupwidth]} #5 } which can be used to put a figure aside a companion text... but, what happens if the text is to be typed... ?? I guess this won't work: \SideFigure{right}{pack2}{../figures/tcltk/pack2.jpg}{0.25} { \starttyping pack .ok .cancel .help -side top \stoptyping } How can I make it to work? thanks ! ------------------------------------------------- Jose Ignacio Marín Alberdi Bayes Inference, S.A. c/ Gran Vía, Nº39, 5º, E-28013 MADRID Tfn (91) 532.74.40, Fax (91) 532.26.36 ------------------------------------------------- email: jimarin(a)bayesinf.com -------------------------------------------------

More about that footnote problem...
by Idris Samawi Hamid 23 Jul '04

Dear crew, Here is a concrete example that illustrates the footnote problem. As usual, just compile a ConTeXt format under eomega: ===============mix-dir-foot.tex=========== \input m-gamma.tex \input type-omg.tex \setupbodyfont[omlgc,12pt] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth\footnote{test}\par} \startarab \dorecurse{3}{hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN\footnote{hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN}\par} \blank[big] \dorecurse{3}{hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN% \footnote{% \startarab % hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN % \stoparab} \par} \blank[big] \setupfootnotes[numbercommand={\switchtobodyfont[omarb]}] \dorecurse{3}{hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN% \footnote{% \startarab % hAdhA 'iimtiHAnuN % \stoparab} \par} \stoparab \stoptext ========================================== Again, the document is globally left-to-right, but for right-to-left documents I want the footnote markers in the right margin, and the rule flush right as well. The relative local eomega direction commands are \textdir TLT (LR text) \pardir TLT (LR paragraphs) \textdir TRT (RL text) \pardir TRT (RL paragraphs) though they are not really needed to create parameter options that give me what I want. I played around with some of the macros in core-not.tex but that stuff is way over my ahead and I could not make any progress:-( NOTE: in the second set of RL footnotes, note that the footnote markers get pushed into the textblock. In the third set of RL fotnotes, we get Arabic markers using \setupfootnotes[numbercommand={\switchtobodyfont[omarab]}] but then we lose the default \setupfootnotes[numbercommand=\high] and the Arabic-script numerals are again pushed into the textblock.

How to read syntax descriptions
by Salman Khilji 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

In the beginner's manual, we have for \startitemize the following: \startitemize[..,..,..][..,..=..,..] ... \stopitemize I was wondering how do you read this in english? Based on the examples, am I correct to say the following? 1) The \startitemize is optionally followed by a comma separated list of parameters enclosed in brackets. 2) Then a set of key-value pairs enclosed in brackets follows. Again this is optional. If this is correct, then what about \setupitemize?. It says \setupitemize[.1.][..,.2.,..][..,..=..,..] So again let me guess .1. stands for a number The third set could be key-value pairs What about the set in the middle? Can we have an explanation for these please. Salman

\definelinefield
by Vit Zyka 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

Hallo Hans, according to widget manual and logic of the rest fields I think that definition of \definelinefield (in core-fld.tex) should be \def\definelinefield#1#2#3#4#5% {\setfield{#1}{#2}{}{}{\@@DriverFieldKids}{#3}{\@@DriverFieldMode\@@DriverFieldFree\@@DriverFieldAuto}{}{#5}} instead of \def\definelinefield#1#2#3#4#5% {\setfield{#1}{#2}{}{}{\@@DriverFieldKids}{#3}{\@@DriverFieldMode\@@DriverFieldFree\@@DriverFieldAuto}{}{#4}} (it means #4 -> #5, dafault form value is in the #5 parameter not $4) Vit Zyka

continuous numbering over components?
by Marko Schütz 22 Jul '04

22 Jul '04

Hi, I have a project containing products containing components. For one of the products I want to achieve a continuous numbering (as I get when `texexec`ing the product file) but I want a single pdf per component. I expect that there is an elegant solution, but didn't find it yet. So any hint is appreciated.

Hi all, I've been away from context for a while - is there currently an ftp mirror of pragma-ade.com? The old ones mentioned in the list archive don't work anymore. Regards, Eckhart
