Pagebreaks
by Thomas A.Schmitz 27 Sep '03

Dear colisters, is there a way to tel Context to be dumb about pagebreaks? I mean to say "fill every page with the exact same number of lines, no matter what, regardless of clubs, widows, women and children"? Here's my setup: \setuplayout[lines=17,footer=0.7cm] \starttext \clubpenalty=0 \widowpenalty=0 Nevertheless, some pages are 1 or even three lines shorter than the rest (there are no tables, floats, pictures etc.). Can this be prevented? Thanks Thomas

Support bei Einstieg in ConText
by ml-context＠dr-kopp.com 27 Sep '03

27 Sep '03

Nach langem Winword-Leiden habe ich mich nun entschlossen für längere Texte auf ConTeXt umzusteigen. Aus Zeitgründen überlege ich, mir für den Umstieg Unterstützung zu leisten. Bevor ich bei uns an der FH Studenten dafür anspreche, versuche ich es hier über das Forum. Wer ist interessiert, gegen finanzielle Unterstützung bei folgenden Aufgaben zu leisten? - Unterstützung bei der Einrichtung einer TeX/ConTeXt-Umgebung - Beraten beim Layout für ein längeres Dokument - Bestehende Winword-Texte Schulungsunterlagen konvertieren und formatieren - Evtl. beraten bei Auswahl einer Digitaldruckerei Gruß Jörg

Hi Patrick, Somehow I really felt like walking on thin ice when I wrote the email you mention. Well, I knew it will be difficult to serve the different aims of communication: - politeness and - political correctness I asked some friends, and we discussed on this topic, trying to find a suitable way, to get the message transferred, and not to hurt anybodies feelings - as the later is very quickly done, and it's a pity, cause often quite unnecessary. So finally, after carefully looking at the pro and cons, I decided to write a bi-lingual answer, exactly one sentence each: > Gibt es etwa Bücher zum Thema ConTeXt? > (Did you ment editing books *on* ConTeXt?) Sure, I have to admit that I used brackets for the second sentence. Btw.: Why didn't you quote that second sentence? So it might have given you the feeling that I made a *main* answer and a less important. But my intention was only to stay in the logical structure of the mail I was answering to: - Jörg once started a threat in German - ok, as you told him this was an initial mistake. - Willi (a typical multilingual Dutch) also answered in German So I wrote my contribution also in the main language of this thread, AND, to stay in the rules of the mailing list, I translated it, as best as I could, into a kind of international English. Obviously my mistake were the brackets. I knew I am walking on thin ice ... and so I forgot to look on my orthography carefully. Thank you Patrick for pointing me to that. Steffen P.S. Who got bored?

substitute for hangafter
by John Culleton 27 Sep '03

I have a classic \hangafter situation in a bibliography. However this TeX primitive seems to be crippled in Context. What should I use instead? -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com

Presentationstep in pre-fuzzy
by Shivkumar Chandrasekaran 27 Sep '03

Hi, I have tried every combination of presentationstep and the NextStep button in pre-fuzzy presentation style, and nothing seems to work. I have the latest (ConTeXt ver: 2003.9.25 fmt: 2003.9.26 int: english mes: english) running on Mac OS X (10.2.8) with Gierben Wierda's teTex distribution. Can some one help me get presentationstep working in pre-fuzzy? Thanks, --shiv--

Please: \adaptlayout[*here*][height=...] needed!
by Steffen Wolfrum 26 Sep '03

26 Sep '03

Hi, I really need a way to enlarge some certain pages. Because the pagenumbering is not fixed yet I cannot use \adaptlayout[71,82][...] in the preamble. What's the command to place \adaptlayout (or something similar) right at that position in the text where the page needs to be larger? Something like \enlargethispage{15pt}. Again, thank you for your help, Steffen
