poster
by Zunbeltz 21 Jun '04

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. Thanks in advance Zunbeltz -- Zunbeltz Izaola Azkona (zunbeltz at wm dot lc dot ehu dot es) Materia Kondentsatuaren Fisika Saila | Zientzia eta Teknologia Fakultatea | Telf: 34 946015326 Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea | PK 644 | Fax: 34 944648500 48080 Bilbo (SPAIN) | --

\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?

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.
