Paragraph setup

Hello, I was trying, without convincing results, to define a float containing a text block which would be typeset in the top right corner of a page and would have specified width. Also if there would happen another float like this on the page it should be typeset below the first one and the text should flow around both of them. Is there any simple way to do that? Thanks in advance. Piotr -- Piotr Kopszak, Ph.D. Polish Art Gallery, National Museum in Warsaw -----------------------------> http://kopszak.mnw.art.pl/

textbackgrounds
by Patrick Gundlach 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

Dear ConTeXt users, i have a question about textbackgrounds. Is there a) something like \setuptextbackground[all][frame=on,...] that sets frame=on for all the textbackgrounds out there? Or better: b) is there any way to inherit parameters? \definetextbackground[A][frame=off] \definetextbackground[B][A] so that B also has frame=off set? Patrick

textbackground again...
by Patrick Gundlach 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

Hi there, why is frame=on and the offset ignored? (Why do I need ... enlarged in MPgrahic?) \mainlanguage[de] \setupcolors[state=start] \startuseMPgraphic{mpos:par:columnset:shade} for i := 1 upto nofmultipars : linear_shade(multipars[i] enlarged 5pt cornered 20pt,1, \MPcolor{middlegreen},\MPcolor{lightgreen}); endfor ; \stopuseMPgraphic \definetextbackground[info] [backgroundoffset=5pt, location=paragraph, frame=on, mp=mpos:par:columnset:shade, ] \starttext \starttextbackground[info] Stolz auf diesen Sieg flog die M\"ucke davon, um ihn aller Welt auszuposaunen, \"ubersah aber das Gewebe einer Spinne und verfing sich in demselben. Gierig umarmte die Spinne sie und sog ihr das Heldenblut aus. Sterbend empfand die M\"ucke ihre Nichtigkeit, indem sie, die Besiegerin des L\"owen, einem so ver\"achtlichen Tiere, einer Spinne, erliegen mu\SS te. \stoptextbackground \stoptext Patrick

A change in textext Metafun maco?
by Michal Kvasnicka 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

Good noon. I have updated to the new ConTeXt and some of my documents failed to work. I use the FunnyFrame example from the Metafun manual. With the old ConTeXt all worked well. Now I can see in the title of a frame just "unknown". I played a little with the mpgraph.mp and I suspect the macro textext not to work well. Or in the same way as before. Where can be a bug? (Well, I updated only TeX, Metapost, and Perl part of ConTeXt and generated formats -- I didn't updated the ConTeXt stuff for plain or for LaTeX). Can you help me? Many thanks. Michal Kvasnicka

suppressing header on first page of chapter
by Mark A. Lilly 27 Mar '03

27 Mar '03

greetings, i have setup a head for my chapters, and i would like to suppress the Chapter and Section text from being printed on the first page of each chapter. I have setup the header text like so. \setupheadertexts [text] [chapter] [section] is there a command to add to the \setuphead to make the chapter and section titles not print on the first page of the chapter (head)? thanks, mark

Context, MacOS, accents
by Jean-Pierre Le Narzul 26 Mar '03

26 Mar '03

Hi, I'm using ConTeXt on my iMac (teTeX distribution through I-installer program) Everything seems OK except for inputing accentuated characters ... If I type \'a I got the correct character (accentuated a) but if I type directly the accentuated character from the keyboard, I got no result .... I start my document with \useregime[mac] (or \enableregime[mac]) but it does not change anything .... Any idea ? (sorry if it's a Faq but I didn't find any solution in reading the mailing list archive ....) thanks in advance jp

local environments
by Matthew Huggett 26 Mar '03

26 Mar '03

Hi: I have a project with a few different types of documents, so I want to set up a few local environments in the same global environment file. Is the following a legitimate environment file? \startenvironment Layout ... some global settings ... \startlocalenvironment[Alternative] ... some local settings ... \stoplocalenvironment \stopenvironment If it is legitimate, how do I specify that a document use the global settings with specific settings from the local environment. I tried \environment Layout \localenvironment Alternative but any macros defined in the local environment are reported as undefined. Thanks, Matt

Problem with letter landscape
by Erik George Hetzner 25 Mar '03

25 Mar '03

Hello, I have been trying to typeset on landscape oriented 8.5x11 size paper. However, pdftex keeps giving me the wrong size paper (11 x 11.69, according to Acrobat). If I run regular TeX, then dvips, then ps2pdf, I get the right size. I apologize if this is strictly a problem with pdftex, but I believe that somewhere it is perhaps a problem with Context. Here is a sample input: \setuppapersize[letter,landscape] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext Thanks for any help anybody can provide. -Erik Hetzner Here is one log: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) (format=cont-en 2003.3.1) 25 MAR 2003 11:03 entering extended mode **&cont-en test.tex (./test.tex{/opt/local/packages/teTeX-2.0.2/share/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cf g} ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.31 fmt: 2003.3.1 int: english mes: english language : language en is active <protectionstate 0> system : cont-new loaded (/opt/local/packages/teTeX-2.0.2/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex!
