How \adaptlayout[*here*][height=+.5cm] ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Hi, is there a way to achieve \adaptlayout[*thispage*][height=+.5cm]? Maybe a kind of \adaptlayout[\getvalue{\pagenumber}][height=+.5cm] ? (Sorry, I am not so familiar with TeX commands...) Again, thank you for your help, Steffen

strange tabulate
by Patrick Gundlach 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Dear ConTeXt users, I have a question (well, it was not really my question in the beginning, but I could not find any answers). The first tabulate gives me rules, the second does not. Which would not harm if this is documented. But in the MAPS article mentioned recently and in the up-to-date the examples clearly show that \HL should give me a horizontal line. What is going on? %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \starttabulate[|l|p|] \HR \NC small \NC They say, small is beautiful. \NC \NR \HR \NC medium \NC It seems that the medium is the message. \NC \NR \HR \NC large \NC Large T||shirts are always sold out. \NC \NR \HR \stoptabulate \starttabulate[|l|p|] \HL \NC small \NC They say, small is beautiful. \NC \NR \HL \NC medium \NC It seems that the medium is the message. \NC \NR \HL \NC large \NC Large T||shirts are always sold out. \NC \NR \HL \stoptabulate \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Patrick -- nothing here

Hi, Anybody know about any editor with ConTeXt support ?... For windows unfortunately... TeXnicCenter looks good, but there is support only for LaTeX... -- Best regards Martin

block question
by Patrick Gundlach 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Hi ConTeXt users, I have a question concerning blocks: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% hello.tex %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \beginhiho Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec hendrerit tempor tellus. Donec pretium posuere tellus. Proin quam nisl, tincidunt et, mattis eget, convallis nec, purus. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Nulla posuere. Donec vitae dolor. Nullam tristique diam non turpis. Cras placerat accumsan nulla. Nullam rutrum. Nam vestibulum accumsan nisl. \endhiho %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% test.tex %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext \defineblock [hiho] \setupblock [hiho] [file=hello] Test \useblocks[hiho] \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% gives no sensible output (only "Test"). What am I doing wrong? Patrick -- You are your own rainbow!

\let \def \relax ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Hi, for reasons of consistency I'd like to define a kind of master-line. So I have everywhere the same proportions even when changing this master value. My idea was \def\MyGrid{15pt} and to use it for example like width=1.5\MyGrid But this doesn't work (error massage mentions problem with units). What is the right syntax for definitions like this? Steffen P.S. I'd like to use it in ConTeXt, but I guess this way of defining is pure TeX, right?

Hans, why don't you...

Hi Hans! I found the following XML tabulate environment implementation in xcont-ml.tex file: ... \defineXMLsingular [context:tcell] [align=] {\appendtoks|\to\XMLtabtoks \processaction [\XMLop{align}] [left=>\appendtoks l\to\XMLtabtoks, right=>\appendtoks r\to\XMLtabtoks, center=>\appendtoks c\to\XMLtabtoks, middle=>\appendtoks c\to\XMLtabtoks]} ... How about para=>\appendtoks p\to\XMLtabtoks It makes it a little bit more flexible. Is there any reason You didn't add 'p' template token to the \processaction list? Regards, Pawe/l

texfont bugs
by Adam Lindsay 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hi folks. Looks like the current texfont is a bit broken right now. I believe it's the introduction of the "if ($IsWin32) " block: the pragma "use Win32::API" doesn't seem to work within the conditional block. Furthermore, I'm not sure the else block that follows comes to a sane ending, so I was unsure of the fix. I take it the change was to address embedded spaces on windows systems? I'm all in favour of tying up loose x-platform ends (esp those I may have left in my wake), but I think there's been a step backwards.
