Footnotes with(out) backgrounds
by Giuseppe Bilotta 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

Hello, a user on it.comp.software.tex just discovered a bug in handling footnotes when backgrounds are present. Brief example: \starttext \setupfootnotes[rule=on] \setupbackground[topoffset=7pt,bottomoffset=7pt] % \startlocalfootnotes[n=0] \startbackground La {\bf locomozione} è un tipo di spostamento reso possibile nell'uomo dal movimento coordinato degli arti inferiori, degli arti superiori e da movimenti di torsione del tronco\footnote{PAOLO CERRETELLI, Fisiologia dell'esercizio, 2001}. \stopbackground \placefootnotes Possiamo facilmente comprendere come questa descrizione rispecchi sia la meccanica della {\bf marcia} sia quella della {\bf corsa}\footnote{Altro commento}. % \placelocalfootnotes % \stoplocalfootnotes \stoptext The commented lines have been added by me during the testing; indeed, local footnotes work, but standard footnotes don't. Any ideas/solutions/whatever? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

I had \setupFLOWcharts before \starttext, and I issued a second call to \setupFLOWcharts before I had used the first flow chart. I moved everything past \starttext and it all works now.

If anyone has any exeprience with Unicode I would like the flexibility this provides, as the euro is just a sample case. btw I have searched CTAN for UnicodeRegular and eurose, and no hits. If anyone happens to know which package bundles either of these two fonts I'd appreciate it. Especially if you have it working in MiKTeX 2.4. Thanks all. Christopher

UnicodeRegular
by Christopher G D Tipper 16 Jan '04

16 Jan '04

I am trying to find a euro symbol for my work. I have \def\euro{\uchar{32}{172}} [character € which I got from some XSL-FO literature I downloaded] and I use \defineXMLentity [euro] {\euro} as I am transforming from XML. What I then get is ! Font \unicodefont=UnicodeRegular20 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. MikTeX has a comprehensive package manager, and I have tried installing packages "uni" [billed as "The Universal Font"] and "universa" but no joy. Does anyone know where to get this font? Please don't tell me from Y&Y :-) Christopher --------------------------------o00o-------------------------------- “Since light travels faster than sound, isn’t that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak” — Steve Wright

Multiple charts of different size
by Shivkumar Chandrasekaran 16 Jan '04

16 Jan '04

Hi, I am using \usemodule[chart] and following the manual mchart.pdf. But I cannot figure out how to get two charts, one of size [nx=4,ny=4] and one of size [nx=4,ny=1] in the same document, without the second one occupying the same physical space as the first one. It seems that I can have only one \setupFLOWcharts command in effect. Is there any way to get around this? Thanks, --shiv--

I am not sure what you mean by "the macro". Do you mean it like this? : \def\MyNoteList#1#2#3{\startWhatANote{#1}#2#1\quad#2\endgraf\stopWhatANote} Or should I add it to this - but I don't know how/where: > \long\def\MyNote#1% > {\ifhmode\unskip\fi > \doglobal\increment\MyNotes\relax > \high{\MyNotes}% > \expanded{\writetolist[MyNoteList]{\MyNotes}}{#1}} Thank you, Steffen

FLOWcharts connection bug
by Ramm, Henning 15 Jan '04

15 Jan '04

Hello Hans and everyone! Every connection whose origin is the bottom of a cell and that goes somewhere upwards, draws first up into the cell. Connections from bottom to bottom cause always a metapost error. (ConTeXt 2004-01-13; TeXLive 7 on WinNT; pdfTeX 1.11a-2.1) Some nice-to-have features of FLOWchart connections would be: - crossing vertical lines should draw an bow at the crossing (configurable) - force a line to go via some point (cell coordinate) or several points instead shortest way - parallel lines should draw side by side Herzliche Grüße! ------------------- Henning Hraban Ramm

headertext + cap/uppercased problem
by Tobias Burnus 15 Jan '04

15 Jan '04

Hello, (partially this is a resent.) I have a problem forcing captial letters for the header(texts). I tried (a) \kap in \setupheadertexts, but then \getmarking gets not expanded (I only get 'CHAPTER :' which looks rather strange) (b) Using \uppercased in \setupheadertext produces an error (c) Using \setupheader[style=kap] or style=\uppercased produces errors Tobias * * * I use \setupheadertexts [][{\it\getmarking[sectionnumber]~~~\getmarking[section]}] [{\it Chapter \getmarking[chapternumber]: \getmarking[chapter]}][] which works well. Adding \setupheader[style=cap] (or style=\uppercased) I get the following error. Any idea why? Tobias ! Missing } inserted. <inserted text> } <to be read again> \vskip \doplacelayouttextline ...\scratchpagebox }\vskip -#2\relax \fi \gettextboxes ...eropoint \the \headertextcontent \vskip \hoofdhoogte \fi \v... \@@lymethodenormal ...interlineskip \gettextboxes \dostopattributes \egroup ... \buildpagebody ...?ly \c!methode \v!normaal }}#1#2 \ifcase \pageornamentstate... ... l.78 \page[right]

Re: [NTG-context] endnotes: ! Dimension too large. ?? (another problem)
by Steffen Wolfrum 15 Jan '04

Ah OK. But as far as I see the "command=" overwrites other possible settings like margin etc. Do I have to include these descriptions in \MyNoteList in a more TeX way? For example: How do I set the notes with size 10pt, interlinespace 11pt, a margin 2cm and after space \blank? Maybe you could give me an example for the code needed here?
