Some \definelayout troubles
by Rob van Swol 03 Dec '02

03 Dec '02

Hi, I want to set a different layout for even and odd pages; so I use something like: \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \definelayout[odd][backspace=4.0cm] \definelayout[even][backspace=2.5cm] This works fine, except I get these extra pages again after \stopstandardmakeup, \stopfrontmatter, and \stopappendices [Note: I applied the following patch to cont-new.tex, Context ver: 2002.10.23 \appendtoks \gdef\shipout{\dowithnextbox{\deadcycles\zerocount}}% \to \everylastshipout ] Any suggestions?

Sanskrit (Devanagari) in ConTeXt
by Gour 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hi! I saw a PDF describing Chinese support in ConTeXt. It looks beautiful. Anyone has attempted to write Sanskrit (both western transliteration as well as Devanagari script) in ConTeXt? What is required to provide such support? Sincerely, Gour -- Gour gour(a)mail.inet.hr Registered Linux User #278493

quotations
by Hans Hagen 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hi, Since quotations keep coming up on this list, and since i had a couple of new cd's to help me through the process of cooking up macros, i made an definable quotation macros, or more precise, something: \definedelimitedtext [quotation] [left={\symbol[leftquotation]}, right={\symbol[rightquotation]}, leftmargin=standard] \definedelimitedtext [quote][quotation] \setupdelimitedtext [quotation] [location=text, left={\symbol[leftquote]}, right={\symbol[rightquote]}] and for Mr. BigFoot: \definedelimitedtext [speech][quotation] \setupdelimitedtext [\v!spraak] [repeat=yes, left={\symbol[leftspeech]}, middle={\symbol[middlespeech]}, right={\symbol[rightspeech]}] Now, how do we call an tight quotation that those heavy quoting users want? \definedelimitedtext [xquotation][quotation] \setupdelimitedtext [xquotation] [indentnext=no, spacebefore=nowhite] (there are a couple of more switches) this mechanism will be available in the next beta, but the re-definitions not yet (first i want to make sure that it worsk ok) one can also use this feature for things like [whatever you want to be delimited] Hans I'll look into the epigraph (module) later (never needed them so far) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma(a)wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

new beta
by Hans Hagen 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hi, I uploaded a new beta. Most changes / updates / new features will go unnoticed until documented (column sets, more float placements and control, more clever and efficient text backgrounds -also in tables, and floats); since i use these features in some styles, they finally will be documented -) Of course there are also some fixes.

epigraph
by Simon Pepping 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

I am trying to find out how to format a so-called epigraph, a motto at the start of an article or section. I have made this construct: \tabskip=0pt plus 1fill \halign to\hsize{#\hfil\tabskip=0pt\cr ``The sky is blue''\cr ``The sky is very blue''\cr \noalign{\vskip 6pt} \hfill {Simon Pepping}\cr } It is very plain TeX. Is there a higher level Context construct that would be appropriate here? Regards, Simon -- Simon Pepping email: spepping(a)scaprea.hobby.nl
