Indenting all lines in a paragraph, first line excluded
by Tim 't Hart 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

Hello, I'm busy writing a paper using ConTeXt that includes a bibliography. I'm designing the layout of this bibliography and I need a special paragraph style. I want the first line of the paragraph to appear normally, and the second and all consecutive lines to be indented. So basically you can also say that I want an 'inverted' paragraph; instead of an indented first line, I want all the other lines to be indented instead. Is there a simple way to achieve this? I've read the manual looking for clues but so far I haven't been successful. Any hints on where to look? My best, Tim

interaction with radio buttons
by Johannes Hüsing 12 Nov '03

12 Nov '03

Dear all, using the example of radiobuttons in uptodate 1998-01, I fail to get the buttons interactive. When using the pdf doc with Acrobat Reader, the buttons are there but the cursor won't give me the finger when it hovers over them, nor does clicking have any effect. Is there anything I fail to observe?

Hi all! what is wong? % % % ad the points of each question \def\getPunkte[#1]{\advance\summeP by \number#1} % % show the points on the right side \def\showP[#1]{\inright{\hfill(#1 P.)}} % % handle the points \def\pkt[#1]% {% \showP[#1]% \getPunkte[#1] } % Using this macro in normal text like TestQuestion \pkt[5] it works!!!

letter style
by Janko Hauser 11 Nov '03

11 Nov '03

Hello, my name is Janko Hauser, I'm a new context user, after many years of LaTeX :-) I want to use context for two different projects. 1. Produce styled PDF documents from a web-content-managment-system. This will be web-page based but also complete sets of pages to generate longer documents. One conceptual idea is to have something like a clip-board of visited pages, which can be printed as one document. Ok, this Zope-based site will be an effort going into the next year. I mention it only for background for the coming questions in the next months. 2. I want to generate my invoice and business-letters with context. I searched the mailinglist but the only note I got was a reference to "the last MAPS" which should contain an article about this. Ah and Hans has mentioned that there is something in the making :-) Is there already something to look at? Does someone know a direct link to the mentioned MAPS-article? Thanks in advance, I'm really looking forward to using context. __Janko

bold math
by Sytse Knypstra 11 Nov '03

11 Nov '03

Hi all, I would like to use bold greek math symbols (I have the lucida family installed). In the `Fonts in ConTeXt' manual I concluded from page 12 that this should be relatively simple. However all my attempts failed: either I got the normal math symbols or I got all (roman and greek) symbols bold, whereas I want to use them alternately. I tried the description on the pages 13 and 14, but I couldn't get it working. I simply inserted `,boldmath' in the lucida typescript in the file type-exa and it gave me all symbols bold. I must admit that I don't understand much of what is written in the `Fonts in ConTeXt' manual. Can anybody give me a solution of how to achieve this? BTW. Shouldn't this feature be a standard one in ConTeXt? Thanks Sytse

Easy lucida font use
by David Arnold 11 Nov '03

All, There was an easy way shared to use the Lucida fonts without having to do any special font or map generation via texfont. Something involving Adobe KB or some such thing. Can someone remind me?

resolution
by Severin Obertuefer 10 Nov '03

10 Nov '03

Hi I made a context-file that contains a lot of *.jpg pictures. The file is very big now, because the pictures are in good quality. I'll use the document for the web and I think there you can see no more then 72dpi (I'm not shure with that) Is there a command to set down the resolution of the whole document (including the pictures) ?? or do I have to reduce the resolution of each jpg graphic with a graphic-program. severin -- NEU FÜR ALLE - GMX MediaCenter - für Fotos, Musik, Dateien...

Simple problem using texexec to combine pdfs
by Martin Buchmann 10 Nov '03

10 Nov '03

Hello, i am rather new to ConTeXt but i had to try it after i met Hans in a little workshop about his system in Darmstadt this year. Thanks again for the insights Hans :-) Now i found out that texexec is also a pretty nice tool for combining single pdf files into one. So i tried: texexec --pdfcombine --combination=1*1 --result=felix.pdf *.pdf to combine all pdfs in the wd to felix.pdf. That's working fine besides the fact that a footnote is added to each page containing the file name and the date. That's maybe pretty handy sometimes but not for me at the moment. I checked the texexec manpages and the manual but i did not find the right command/switch to do it. May be i'm just missing some rooky stuff. Could someone help me out here? BTW: I'm using the latest TeXlive installation on RedHat. Best regards Martin P.S.: I know that i could change the temporary texexec.tex by hand and rerun that file. But that's a bit to clumsy for such a sophisticated system, isn't it?

Hi all! Could You give me some hint how to setup different backgrounds for even and odd pages? Lets say I would like to have something like \setupbackgrounds[footer][rightmargin][background=screen] % for even pages and \setupbackgrounds[footer][leftmargin][background=screen] % for odd pages Thanks in advance, Pawel
