tables within tabulate
by Hans van der Meer 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Anybody knows why is seems impossible to put a table into a tabulate? this works: \starttabulate[|p|p|]\NC TEXT \NC TEXT \NC\NR\stoptabulate but NOT this: \starttabulate[|p|p|]\NC \starttable[|c|c|] \HL \VL Y \VL P \VL \SR \HL \stoptable \NC TEXT \NC\NR\stoptabulate Hans van der Meer

About itemize
by Idris S Hamid 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Dear posse, The itemize environment has a strange feature/bug: --------------- \startitemize \item Here is some text \stopitemize % Here is some text that SHOULD NOT be indented --------------- produces the same indentation as ---------------- \startitemize \item Here is some text \stopitemize Here is some text that SHOULD be indented ---------------- and even more puzzling: ---------------- \startitemize \item Here is some text\par \stopitemize\par Here is some text that should REALLY be indented ---------------- Could someone please explain how I can get text skipping a line after the itemize environment to automatically indent without a manual \indent every time? Sorry if I'm clueless here:-) Thnx in advance Idris -- Dr. Idris S Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

quote environment
by Idris S Hamid 14 Nov '02

14 Nov '02

Dear crew, (Please forgive all the (perhaps) clueless questions: I've had to spend the last few months focusing on _content_ in my research as opposed to _form_ so I've gotten quite rusty:->) I have defined a quote environment as follows: \startnarrower[2*left,2*right]\noindent Some quoted text \stopnarrower I would like to define a more sophisticated \startquote \stopquote with the following features: 1. Assuming the quote is within a paragraph and is preceded and succeeded by text belonging to that same paragraph, the skips preceding and succeeding text should be the same as in the default itemize environment. Assuming itemize uses \medskip (how do I find out for sure (aside from digging into the code)?), I need the quote environment to do something like; ------------------------------------ Here is some preceding text \medskip % \startnarrower[2*left,2*right]\noindent Some quoted text \stopnarrower \medskip % Here is some succeeding text. ---------------------------------------- 2. Assuming the quote is within a paragraph and is preceded and succeeded by text belonging to that same paragraph, the succeeding text should NOT be indented. viz. ---------------------------------------- Here is some preceding text % \startquote Some quoted text \stopquote % Here is some succeeding text that should NOT be indented ----------------------------------------- 3. Assuming the quote is at the _end_ of a paragraph, I need the quote environment to do something like; -------------------------------------- Here is some preceding text \medskip % \startnarrower[2*left,2*right]\noindent Some quoted text \stopnarrower \medskip Here is some succeeding text that SHOULD be indented. -------------------------------------- Note also that the first par in a quote environment should not be indented: -------------------------------------- Here is some preceding text % \startquote Some quoted text that should NOT be indented Some quoted text that SHOULD be indented. \stopquote % -------------------------------------- Your help is greatly appreciated!

\switchtobodyfont[cmr] in Gamma
by Idris S Hamid 13 Nov '02

13 Nov '02

Dear team, I sent a similar question before but got no response. Hopefully I'll get better luck this time;-> In Gamma (and perhaps in regular ConTeXt as well but I have no other fonts to test there) \setupbodyfont[cmr] does not seem to work/behaves strangely: -------------cm-test.tex-------------- \input m-gamma.tex \input type-omg.tex \setupbodyfont[cmr,14pt] %\setupbodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt] This is a test \switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt] %\switchtobodyfont[cmr,14pt] This is a test \switchtobodyfont[cmr, 14pt] %\switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt] This is a test \stoptext --------------------------- Results: First line in cmr14, second line in omlgc14.4 (OK so far) Third line in omlgc14 (This is wrong!) Now lets switch things: ------------------------------- \input m-gamma.tex \input type-omg.tex %\setupbodyfont[cmr,14pt] \setupbodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt] This is a test %\switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt] \switchtobodyfont[cmr,14pt] This is a test %\switchtobodyfont[cmr, 14pt] \switchtobodyfont[omlgc, 14.4pt] This is a test \stoptext ------------------------------- Results: First line in omlgc14.4 (OK so far) Second line in omlgc14 (instead of cmr14) Third line in omlgc14.4 (OK) As u can see, \switchtobodyfont[cmr] does not seem to work. Am I doing something wrong or is something else afoot? Note that I have not called any ocp lists so it's not an ocp interference. Thanks in advance!

special heading
by Idris S Hamid 12 Nov '02

12 Nov '02

Dear gang, I'm having trouble with a special heading. I have written a treatise where everything is numbered in sections, subsections, etc. I need an introductory section-like command, say, \definehead [introduction][section] where 1. "Introduction" is marked in the table of contents without a number, and 2. absolutely nothing is marked in the main text; 3. the first section is still marked as `1' in the main text and the TOC. Another possibility I'm considering: 1. "Introduction" is marked in the table of contents without a number, and 2. "Introduction" is marked centered in the main text without a number; 3. the first section is still marked as `1' in the main text and the TOC. Thnx in advance Idris -- Dr. Idris S Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

schimpscheut

Niet al te gemakkelijk antwoorden graag. Het is me wel eens opgevallen dat de rode reus uit redmond zich weinig gelegen laat liggen aan logica of wiskunde of systematiek maar daarentegen juist erg goed is in marketing. Dus het opzetten van de facto standaarden zou ik persoonlijk liever niet aan ze overlaten, terwijl HP en die andere clubs op die punten wel aan mijn elementaire eisen voldoen of deden. Die foto is leuk maar wie is het. Nee niet jij. Jou herken ik wel, maar de non? Ik ben inmiddels aardig op streek in de "non-designers type book" dat je me ooit aanbeval en dat ik Zaterdag kon ophalen. Is leuk. Veel weetjes, veel definities en veel voorbeelden. Aardig op mijn niveau (door de vele voorbeelden). Maar typografisch blaft en brult iedere pagina je aan. Nooit eerder zo'n typografische schreeuw, gezien zou ik bijna schrijven, gehoord. En dat terwijl een van de aanbevelingen in het boek is het rustig te houden. Snap je weer beter hoe hoog de kwaliteit van Siep's werk bijvoorbeeld ligt. Dus dank voor de tip heh...Karel.
