\let \def \relax ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 25 Sep '03

25 Sep '03

Hi, for reasons of consistency I'd like to define a kind of master-line. So I have everywhere the same proportions even when changing this master value. My idea was \def\MyGrid{15pt} and to use it for example like width=1.5\MyGrid But this doesn't work (error massage mentions problem with units). What is the right syntax for definitions like this? Steffen P.S. I'd like to use it in ConTeXt, but I guess this way of defining is pure TeX, right?

Hans, why don't you...

Hi Hans! I found the following XML tabulate environment implementation in xcont-ml.tex file: ... \defineXMLsingular [context:tcell] [align=] {\appendtoks|\to\XMLtabtoks \processaction [\XMLop{align}] [left=>\appendtoks l\to\XMLtabtoks, right=>\appendtoks r\to\XMLtabtoks, center=>\appendtoks c\to\XMLtabtoks, middle=>\appendtoks c\to\XMLtabtoks]} ... How about para=>\appendtoks p\to\XMLtabtoks It makes it a little bit more flexible. Is there any reason You didn't add 'p' template token to the \processaction list? Regards, Pawe/l

texfont bugs
by Adam Lindsay 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hi folks. Looks like the current texfont is a bit broken right now. I believe it's the introduction of the "if ($IsWin32) " block: the pragma "use Win32::API" doesn't seem to work within the conditional block. Furthermore, I'm not sure the else block that follows comes to a sane ending, so I was unsure of the fix. I take it the change was to address embedded spaces on windows systems? I'm all in favour of tying up loose x-platform ends (esp those I may have left in my wake), but I think there's been a step backwards.

How to adress footnote's numbers in main text?
by Steffen Wolfrum 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Dear colisters, as I typeset my text with oldstyle figures I also have the footnote's numbers in oldstyle. But those figures look quite strange when set superscript in the text. Changing the footnote's numbers in the footnote area (bottom) was possible by: \definefont [MajuskelFNfont][OldStyle at 8.5pt] \setupfootnotes[numbercommand=\MajuskelFNfont,rule=\MyRule] But how can I adress the superscript footnote's numbers in the main text?? Happy for any reply, Steffen

Aligment?
by ^Nitram^ 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Hi, When I trying with new commands I noticed that: \framed[align=left,width=broad]{left} \framed[align=right,width=broad]{right} produced: |-------------------| | left| |-------------------| |-------------------| |right | |-------------------| Why ?... ;) -- Best regards Martin

italic correction
by Idris S Hamid 24 Sep '03

24 Sep '03

Dear syndicate, Sometimes I make a definition like \def\TR{\it} for certain purposes (structural consistency, etc.). How do I modify this to automatically do an italic correction the way \em is set up to do in \ConTeXt? ====================== By the way, did Hans ever make a "final" ConTeXt logo? I still think that \def\Context{{\sc C\kern -.0667emo\kern -.0667emn\kern -.0549emt\kern -.1667em\lower .5ex\hbox {e}\kern -.125emx\kern -.0549emt}} looks better than Con\TeX{}t (and the smaller \TeX better reflects its relative role in the whole package), and I've been using the former up to now. Hope that's not a problem-) best Idris

Re: [NTG-context] Typing in new command problems

Hi, > > Is it impossible? > Is this a real question? No ;) But the real should be '... for newbie' :) [cut] Thank you very much. I did it in this way: \defineframedtext[Frame][width=broad,bodyfont=9pt,align=right] %but align is a little strange = see new post Aligment? \def\Command#1#2 {\setuptyping[before=\startFrame,after=\stopFrame] \setupTABLE[frame=off]\bTABLE\bTR\bTD[width=.2\textwidth,align=left] %align again \bfx #2\eTD\bTD \typebuffer[#1] \eTD\eTR\eTABLE \setuptyping[before=,after=]} And now it is what I want ;) Probably there is another way to do this but I'm in ConTeXt since 1-2 months ;) -- Best regards Martin

Hi, > > I try to define new command with typing in this way: > Don't mess with verbatim stuff in commands. Don't ask why, just don't > do it ;-) > \definetyping > [nitram] > [before=\startframedtext, > after=\stopframedtext] > \starttext > \startnitram > crazy > \stopnitram > \stoptext It works but if I use \startnitram \getbuffer \stopnitram I have as result: \getbuffer ;) I would like to define some code in buffer and use it as example (typing this code) and show how it works (use this code). I can use \getbuffer and \typebuffer, but I would like to put code into a 'nice' frame ;) I can do it by \framed[number of options]{\typebuffer}, but I would like to do it in better way - by defining own command and use \Command{\getbuffer}. Is it impossible? -- Best regards Martin

Hi Hans, hi Jens! There is always another surprise in ConTexT. I mean: How should I know? My sources are Hans's manuals + the list-archiv. Neither in the manuals nor in the archive \setuphanging or \starthanging is mentioned... So I am sorry for asking for things that maybe already exist! But now I have to ask: how do I use \setuphanging or \starthanging actually? Is there some kind of documentation or at least a minimal example somewhere? Thanks for the lessons. Steffen
