Expert version: How to make empty pages by default empty?
by Steffen Wolfrum 23 Oct '03

23 Oct '03

Hi Hans (probably the only relevant recipient), while Patrick Gundlach could provide me a solution for all chapters in one file there still is no idea how to do it within the project structure. See for example the following: The generated empty pages after the TOC (page 2), and after the last chapter (14 and 15) all have pagenumbers. Quite ugly. How to get rid of them? How to make empty pages by default empty? Steffen Minimal Example: \definepagebreak [chapter] [yes,header,right] \setuphead [chapter] [page=chapter, ] \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setupsectionblock[frontmatter][page=chapter] % doesn't work \starttext \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \chapter {test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter {test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \chapter {test} \dorecurse{10}{\input tufte } \stopbodymatter \stoptext

conteni style
by V. Sharma 21 Oct '03

21 Oct '03

I am a newbie to context. I have a management protocol for transplantation patients which would be great if presented in a format similar to the conteni document. Is the setup for the same available or is this proprietary and not available? Are any other setups of similar functionality available as source files? I intend to use pdfscreen and lyx if this is not possible, however the layout and searchability of the conteni are far superior and would help the doctors on the ward if this can be achieved without me having to spend more than a weekend on this.context is a longterm goal of course but any help now will be greatly appreciated and acknowledged in the protocol. regards vivek

Centering lines of poetry.
by John Culleton 21 Oct '03

21 Oct '03

Here is a deceptively simple requirement: An author writes poetry where lines are ended by a carriage retrun and stanzas are ended by a blank line. Problem: How to enclose those lines somehow so that all lines are centered yet font changes are allowed. Of course \centerline{} works but this requires tagging each line. Any thoughts, anyone? -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com

page arranging
by Alex Berger 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

Hi, I'd like to place 2 A5 pages on a A4 landscape page. I tried with \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[doublesided] and some other options. But the best result I got were A4 pages with 2 *identical* A5 pages (was this the "duplex" option?) Now I have no idea how to get my wanted result---and even less idea why ConTeXt arranged the pages the way it did... ;) Thanks, aberThanks, aber. -- Alex Berger <alex.berger(a)gmx.at> jabber:alb@jabber.at icq:65271130

Good morning. I'm sorry to ask such a stupid question, but: Is there some ConTeXt way to suppress word-breaking (hyphenating) text in margins (\inmargin)? Many thanks, Michal Kvasnicka

Expert fonts
by Thomas A.Schmitz 19 Oct '03

19 Oct '03

Expert fonts have been mentioned on this list several times, but I'd like to know if anybody could point me to e tutorial/example how to make them work in Context. The background of my question: on my Mac, I have a nice-looking truetype font "HoeflerText" which has most glyphs of an expert font (oldstyle numbers, small caps, additional ligatures etc.), and I wonder if it would be possible to split it up into several type 1 fonts (via pfaedit) and make them work like an expert family. Any suggestions about this? Thanks! Thomas
