Natural Tables (all options)
by ml-context＠Dr-Kopp.com 19 Oct '03

19 Oct '03

Hello, with a lot of help of Lutz (member of this list) I am now able to produce Context files and compile them to PDF. Now I am reading the documentation and some emails from this list to learn some details. I played a little bit with natural tables (also read the examples in ennatab.pdf) - but I think that is not all what is possible with natural tables. Wehre can I find a documetation with all options for nat. tabs? At the examples there was no table with round corners. But I found a parameter for it -I tried: \\eTABLE[corner=round] with the result: every cell was round. It looks funny but is not the thing I was looking for. I want to have round corners arround the table: left corner top and bottom right corner top and bottom 1. How does it work? 2. Where can I find all parameters/options for natural tables (I googled with no success). Jörg

It would be nice to have a short description for each command - I know, there is the documentation from Hans - but it would be comfortable to have the description in texshow. Jörg

unwanted code in bookmarks
by Pawel Jackowski na Onet 18 Oct '03

18 Oct '03

Hi all! Please consider (or compile) the following code: \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter,section][chapter] \defineXMLenvironment [chapter] {\defineXMLargument[title]{\chapter}} {\relax} \defineXMLsingular[end]{\end} \enableXML <chapter><title>Whatever with an &entity;</title> <chapter><title>Whatever with a <command/></title> <end/> The problem is that bookmarks in output PDF file contains literal or partially expanded ConTeX-code instead of it's effect. How to force context to expand code entirely before writing bookmarks? Thanks for any hints, Pawe/l

placebookmarks + hyphenation
by Tobias Burnus 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

Hi, I use \placebookmarks[chapter,section,subsection] to get the bookmarks (or outline) shown in Acrobat Reader. Unfortunally, this doesn't seem to work here (acroread 5.08/linux; \def\contextversion{2003.9.26}): There are no bookmarks at all. The other problem I have is: the letter \"a comes out as 'dobuildtextaccent char 127 a' in the 'Document Info' of acrobat which looks kind of ugly and hampers the searchability using htdig. Last but not least, I have a hyphenation problem with URLs: I have e.g. +----------------------------------------------+ | | | [...] http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CylindricalCoordinates. | html. | +----------------------------------------------+ I now want to have this instead: +----------------------------------------------+ | | | [...] http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Cylindri | | calCoordinates.html. | +----------------------------------------------+ i.e. a hyphenation not at the / or . characters but within the word (and without a hyphen). Fixing it manually is kind of hard since I use \gotoURL{...} in a BibTeX file and this definition for gotoURL: \def\gotoURL#1{\useURL[foo][#1]\goto{\url[foo]}[url(foo)]} I'm grateful for any hints Tobias

font scaling
by Thomas A.Schmitz 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

After doing some work, I think I now have a wonderful working collection of classical Greek fonts. There is one thing I'd love to implement though, but I wonder if it's possible. i guess I have to begin by describing my approach: every Greek font is provided by a .tex file which has the following content (in part, this is Giuseppe Bilotta's work, he got me started on this): \definebodyfont[10pt,11pt,12pt,14pt][rm][Gf=Ibycus] \def\enablegreek{\language[greek]\catcode`~=\other\catcode`|=\other\catc ode`'=\other} \def\startgreek{\par\begingroup\Gf\enablegreek} \let\stopgreek\endgroup \def\localgreek{\groupedcommand{\Gf\enablegreek}{}} Then, the file declares a couple of special symbols like so \define\koppa{\getglyph{Ibycus}{\char37}} The Greek font is declared by using \input Ibycus in the preamble of the document. I have a collection of 6 fonts; when I want to switch between them, I just replace \input Ibycus by \imput someotherfile. All of this works wonderfully for the time being. Now the problem: most of the time, I want to mix Greek and Latin fonts, and in order to do this, some sort of scaling has to be done (because the size of different Latin fonts varies so much). Right now, I do this by editing the input file like so \definebodyfont[10pt,11pt,12pt,14pt][rm][Gf=Ibycus sa 1.05] but I wonder if it would be possible to do this more elegantly: is there a way to make this an argument that will be passed on automatically? What I'm dreaming of is something like this \input Ibycus[sa 1.05] and it would automatically scale at 1.05. Any ideas how this could be achieved? And if anybody is interested: I'd love to share this stuff and find a couple of beta testers to see if it works on other computers, too. Best Thomas

For windows the trick is in using irun in the right way, i.e. either use a full path spec or something relative like ../../whatever (which is what i've done there); i didn't test it for "program files" Hans
