Combining \inframed with \items
by Duncan Hothersall 23 Jul '03

23 Jul '03

I have the following test file: -- \setupoutput[pdftex]\setupcolor[rgb]\starttext \items[symbol=none,location=top]{{\inframed[frame=on,corner=round,radius=3mm ,offset=1mm]{demand-pull inflation}},{\inframed[frame=on,corner=round,radius=3mm,offset=1mm]{in comparison}},capital-intensive} \items[symbol=none,location=top]{fixed assets,entrepreneurs,as a result,implementation} \items[symbol=none,location=top]{situation,monetary,system,arbitrage,stable} \stoptext -- The idea is to have certain of the items in the lists highlighted with a frame. Although I don't get an error in the log, the output I get is broken. I have attached the tiny pdf file. Can this be made to work somehow? Alternatively is it possible to get "horizontal" lists any other way? Thanks! Duncan dh(a)capdm.com

figures in columns
by olivier Turlier 23 Jul '03

Hello, After changing from one to two columns, the figures of my document are set to "undefined" by ConText. before : <one column> \placefigure [force] [fig:TC4936.pdf] {Moquettes nappées}{\externalfigure[TC4936.pdf][width=.7\textwidth]} after : ... \setupcolumns [n=2,tolerance=tolerant, distance=6mm, balance=yes] ... \startcolumns ... \placefigure [force] [fig:TC4936.pdf] {Moquettes nappées}{\externalfigure[TC4936.pdf][width=.7\columnwidth]} Is there is a special mecanism for placing figures in colums ? Thanks, ot

Index with Bibliography
by Elis 21 Jul '03

21 Jul '03

Dear ConTeXt experts, I'm trying to insert the Bibliography (using m-bib) in the table of contents in this way: \setupheadtext[it][pubs=\chapter{Bibliografia}] put in the preamble (with \chapter{}ConTeXt shows the number of the chapter near the title and I need this feature). It works well on the index page but on the Bibliography page this trick makes the title two o more lines under the normal height of the other chapters. Any suggestion to bring the title "Bibliography" at the correct height? Is there another way to make the same (or better) thing? -- Best regards, Elis

Allow hyphenation after "underscore" (_)
by varheit＠gmx.de 19 Jul '03

19 Jul '03

Hi, I am processing documents from XML sources that contain lots of words like BLABLA_VERY_LONG_COMPLICATED_WORD. How can I (globally) enable hyphenation after underscores without changing the source? I know that I could replace underscores with some sort of XML entity like &underscore; and map this to some TeX code using \discretionary..., but I want to avoid using that. Thanks for any help on that issue. Vik -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Jetzt ein- oder umsteigen und USB-Speicheruhr als Prämie sichern!

Updated ConTeXt emacs mode
by Berend de Boer 18 Jul '03

18 Jul '03

Hello All, I've updated the context Emacs mode. Download it from: http://www.pobox.com/~berend/emacs/context.el I don't think there is anything really new, just some changes perhaps so it works more properly with Emacs 21.2.1 what I happen to use now. -- Live long and prosper, Berend de Boer

problem with arranging
by Martin Kolařík 17 Jul '03

17 Jul '03

Hi, if I try to process XML document with arranging pdfetex loops after the first pass of texexec. My command line is: texexec --pdf --arrange --xmlfilter=car --env=sty-source source.xml --mode=arranged where mode=arranged switches inside environment file desired arranging. If I omit --arrange, all texexec passes finish correctly, but, of course, page numbers and references are resolved badly. If I comment out \\setuparranging[\\v!blokkeer]\n in texexec.pl, result if, again of course, the same. So, if \setuparranging[\v!blokkeer] apperars in *.top file, arrangement of file does not succeed as at the end of the first texexec pass pdfetex hangs up. What should I do? Thank you, Martin -------- Martin Kolarik Moravske Pristroje, a.s., Masarykova 1148, Zlin 76302 tel. +420 603 498 498, fax +420 577 107 171 web: http://www.mii.cz -------- e-mail: kolarik(a)mii.cz e-mail: kolarik(a)click.cz tel. +420 603 535 593

How to stop pagebreak after section heading
by Frank 17 Jul '03

17 Jul '03

Hello, I just reformatted one of my documents from A4 to A4 landscape, dual column format. Unfortunately ConTeXt put a pagebreak directly after a heading. This is probably due to the excessive amount of white space that would appear if the heading moved to the next page. Nevertheless this is what I would prefer. How do I do this? Best Regards, Frank

How to use charter?
by Alexander Klink 16 Jul '03

16 Jul '03

Hi all, I am trying to use the Bitstream Charter as a font. Unluckily, all the umlauts fail to appear. Here is how I do it: \definefont[bchr][bchr8t at 12pt] \starttext \bchr \"a \"o \"u \SS{} \stoptext Any idea why that happens? Could someone explain to me (or point me to some documentation) on what exactly happens when I do something like the above? Or is there a better way to do it (I guess so...)? Greetings, Alex

Duplicaat vraag
