lines in tabulate tables
by Ed L Cashin 03 Oct '03

03 Oct '03

Hi. I have two questions, really. I know that I can get a horizontal line with \ML in a tabulate table. \HL doesn't seem to work for me, though. ecashin@marblerye tmp$ cat test.tex \starttext \starttabulate \NC hi \NC there \NC \NR \HL \NC yo \NC there \NC \NR \ML \NC whassup \NC there \NC \NR \stoptabulate \stoptext ecashin@marblerye tmp$ texexec --pdf test < /dev/null TeXExec 3.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003 executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : test output : pdftex interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-13d-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.1) entering extended mode (test.tex[/opt/teTeX-1.0.7/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg] ConTeXt ver: 2003.8.21 fmt: 2003.9.12 int: english mes: english ... The resulting test.pdf has only one horizontal line. It's above "whassup there". My second question is how do I make vertical lines in tabulate tables? -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin(a)uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/

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
