It's not \setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.5pt,8.8pt] ? Steffen - always surprised by the amount of unexpected keywords...

ConTeXt updates & Gentoo
by Gour 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Hi! Is there any user here using ConTeXt within Gentoo distribution? I'm interested regarding the update process since there is no separate ebuild for ConTeXt package, how do you keep pace with the rapid development. Is it better to switch to TeX Live instead of teTeX? Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour(a)mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493

\chapter with \vbox?
by Michal Kvasnicka 02 Oct '03

02 Oct '03

Dear friends. I want to typeset a document on a grid. Moreover I want to typeset each chapter heading on a separate page this way: \blank[5*line] ... here is motto... \vfil ... here is the chapter title and chapter number... \blank[5*line] I must include it in a \vbox. I tried \vbox to \textheight, but now the motto doesn't fit to a grid. How could I do it? Many thanks for your help. Michal Kvasnicka P.S. My chapter setting is like this: \setuphead[chapter] [page=, style={\ss\bfe\setupinterlinespace[line=\NormalBaselineskip]}, numberstyle={\ss\bff\setupinterlinespace[line=\NormalBaselineskip]}, before={\page\setuplayout[footer=0pt]\page[right]}, after={\page\setuplayout[footer=3\NormalBaselineskip]}, command=\MyChapterCommand] \def\MyChapterCommand#1#2{% \vbox to \textheight{% \setupinterlinespace[line=\NormalBaselineskip]% \blank[5*line,force]% \startnarrower[left,right]% \leavevmode{\rm\tf\em\the\mottotoks}\par \stopnarrower \vskip0pt plus 1filll \hbox to \textwidth{\hss\vbox{\hsize=0.8\textwidth \startframedtext [width=0.8\textwidth,align={left,broad}, offset=1.5ex, background=color, backgroundcolor=black] {\setupinterlinespace[line=28pt]\white #2}% \stopframedtext}} \kern-\baselineskip \vbox to 0pt{% \vss \hbox to \hsize{% \hss\bff #1% {\setbox0=\hbox{#1}\ifdim\wd0=0pt\else \hbox to0pt{.\hss}\hskip0.8\textwidth\strut\hskip2.5mm\fi}% } } \blank[4*line,force] } \global\mottotoks={} } If trying the code, you must either define \ss\bfe and \ss\bff fonts, or remove them.

How change separator between two authors?
by ^Nitram^ 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Hi, I use your bib module but in case of two authors I need comma as separator between them instead of 'and'. How can I change it? And additionally how can I do list of publications like that: [1] Entry ... [10] Entry (entry numbers aligned to right with []) instead of 1 Entry ... 10 Entry (entry numbers aligned to left) ?... -- Best regards, Martin

Given that they are the same size. Not certain pages, but the whole thing just stuck together. Do you have an idea? Steffen

Why is there 1pt space between footnotes?
by Steffen Wolfrum 01 Oct '03

01 Oct '03

Hi, I am almost sure that I tried every possible combination of commands and options, but still there seems to be a minimal distance between footnotes that can't be erased. My idea was just to have small footnotes without any extra distance between them. But there always was about 1pt or 2pt distance. Anybody an idea? Thank you, Steffen
