Center two frames
by Fabrice Couvreur 14 Jan '15

Hi, I wish the second frame is centered with the first frame. I guess this is the figure that prevents this. However, even by reducing the value of u, it does not work. Best regards, Fabrice \definecolor[Border][c=0.00, m=0.00, y=0.00, k=0.25] \defineframed [Myframed] [width=0.6\textwidth, foregroundstyle={\switchtobodyfont[10pt]}, align={high,flushleft}, frame=off, framecolor=0.625white, background=borderline, ] \definefiller[dots][left=\dontleavehmode,right=\hskip\zeropoint\par] \startsetups[table:initialize] \setupTABLE[start] [align={lohi,right} offset=1ex, frame=off, ] \setupTABLE[column][first][width=0.25\textwidth] \setupTABLE[column][2][width=0.35\textwidth] \stopsetups \starttext \startuniqueMPgraphic{borderline} path p ; p := unitsquare xscaled \overlaywidth yscaled \overlayheight ; draw p withcolor \MPcolor{Border} dashed evenly withpen pencircle scaled 1.2pt ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[borderline][\uniqueMPgraphic{borderline}] \placefigure[right,none]{}{ \start \switchtobodyfont[7pt] \startMPcode numeric u; u=0.7cm; z0=(0,0) ; z1=(2.5u,0) ; z2=(2.5u,2.5u) ; z3=(0,2.5u) ; z4=(-0.2u,0) ; z5=(-0.2u,2.5u) ; z6=(0,2.7u) ; z7=(2.5u,2.7u) ; z8=(1.25u,1.25u) ; drawdblarrow z4--z5 ; drawdblarrow z6--z7 ; fill z0--z1--z2--z3--cycle withcolor green ; draw z0--z1--z2--z3--cycle ; label.top("\unit{100 meter}",0.5[z6,z7]) ; label.lft("\unit{100 meter}",0.5[z4,z5]) ; \stopMPcode \stop} Compléter chacun des algorithmes ci-dessous afin qu'ils affichent en \unit{square meter}, puis en hectares, la superficie d'un terrain rectangulaire de longueur $L$ mètres et de largeur $l$ mètres, saisies en entrée. \startbuffer \input knuth \stopbuffer \blank[big] \startmidaligned \Myframed{\getbuffer} \stopmidaligned \startbuffer \input ward \stopbuffer \blank[big] \startmidaligned \Myframed{\getbuffer} \stopmidaligned \stoptext

Catalan especial character (l·l) in ConTeXt
by 19cat 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hello, I am Catalan, and we use frequently the geminated character ( l· ), that not is showed correctly in ConTeXt. Dot is too much separated of 'l' characters. How can I control character spacing by default? I have seen Fontfeaturefiles page in wiki for create ligatures and control kerning. But my attempts have failed. Do you think it is a good choice? I keep trying? Explanation extended: ================= Typing normally, catalans use "flow dot" character ( · ) between 'l' (l·l), that in spanish keyboard is located over key '3'. Other option is use special utf-8 characters (Ŀ) and (ŀ), but this character is not in any keyboard, and must changed before compile with ConTeXt (I use SED command). But none of these options is good. See you the result of following sample in context. % =================================== % Sentence: "I want to see films at school" \mainlanguage[ca] \starttext % With flow point \section{PEL·LÍCULES} Vull veure pel·lícules al col·legi % With utf-8 character \section{PEĿLÍCULES} Vull veure peŀlícules al coŀlegi \stoptext % =================================== The first result is very bad (too separaded). The second result is better, but closer together. More than double L ( ll) I would obtain LaTeX result using special characters that are more separated than ConTeXt, using "flow point" of keyboard. See you this sample: % =================================== \documentclass[a4paper]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[catalan]{babel} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{lmodern} \usepackage{newunicodechar} \newunicodechar{Ŀ}{Ŀ} \newunicodechar{ŀ}{ŀ} \newunicodechar{Ŀ}{\L.} \newunicodechar{ŀ}{\l.} % Sentence: "I want to see films at school" \begin{document} % With flow dot \section{PEL·LÍCULES} Vull veure pel·lícules al col·legi % With utf-8 characters \section{PEĿLÍCULES} Vull veure peŀlícules al coŀlegi \end{document} % =================================== The second section is with utf-8 characters, and it looks great. Thanks, 19cat

ignoring an element in XML
by Pablo Rodriguez 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

Dear list, I have an XML document with <h1> different elements. I want to parse the vast majority of them, but not the ones that are wrapped in a <div class="hidden"> element. Which is the right way to do it? The following doesn’t work: \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{div[@class='hidden']/h1}{} Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

figure caption question
by j. van den hoff 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

hi, I have some problems with adjusting figure captions. what I want: 1. constant caption width across all figures, possibly identical to text width 2. trailing the auto-incrementing figure number with a fixed character, e.g. a `:', while still being able to cross-reference to the figure without the `:' occuring as part of the reference (i.e. it should read "Figure 1: caption_goes_here" and the cross-reference then should read "see Figure 1" rather than "see Figure 1:". Using something like \setupcaptions[width=0.9\textwidth, numberstopper={:}] sort of works except that cross references than include the "numberstopper" `:' in the reference ("see Figure 1:") which is really awkward. so how can this be solved (adjust the numberstopper in the caption without affecting how the figure label/number appears in cross-references)? regarding the caption width it seems that of the predefined keywords (fit, broad, max) only the first one is understood correctly (presuming it means "fit to figure width" -- I did not find an explanation anywhere). `width=max' does not maximize the width (rather it is smaller than with `width=fit' in some of my figures) and `width=broad' throws an error ("! Missing number, treated as zero" etc.). what am I missing regarding these keywords? thx/j -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

dealing with footnotes and ol in XML
by Pablo Rodriguez 11 Jan '15

11 Jan '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startbuffer[demo] <doc> This is the first paragraph. <ol> <li>first item</li> <li>second item</li> </ol> text with footnote<a href="#fn1" class="footnoteRef" id="fnref1">1</a> text with another footnote<a href="#fn2" class="footnoteRef" id="fnref2">2</a> <div class="footnotes"> <hr /> <ol> <li id="fn1">footnote text In two paragraphs<a href="#fnref1">↩</a></li> <li id="fn2">footnote text In two paragraphs<a href="#fnref2">↩</a></li> </ol> </div> </doc> \stopbuffer \starttext \usemodule[html] \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{*}{xml:*} \xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}{a[@class='footnoteRef']}{xml:footnote} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:doc \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:footnote \startfootnote \xmlfirst{main}{div[@class='footnotes']/ol/li[(a)id=string.sub('\xmlatt{#1}{href}',2)]} \stopfootnote \stopxmlsetups \setupitemize[margin=yes] \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext The first issue I’m experiencing is that I don’t know how to avoid that footnotes (implemented in XML as items in an ordered list) are also typeset as list items. Footnotes may be inside lists or contain lists, but footnotes themselves are only implemented as lists. The only way I know is to disable lists, but this is not an option. The second issue is that \setupitemize[margin=yes] doesn’t work. What am I missing here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Delayed page layout change?
by David Brooks 11 Jan '15

11 Jan '15

Hi, I'm new to ConTeXt (although have used LaTeX in various ways over a long time) and am impressed! Many thanks for a great system. I'm wanting some pages in a book to have a different layout to others, and am using \definelayout and \setuplayout to do so. This all works, including adding layers to the different layouts. However the layout change (specified by \setuplayout) occurs immediately after the command is given, which means following paragraphs on the page have the layout's new width and not the width used for earlier text on the page: i.e: + + xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx <-- \setuplayout xxxxx xxxxx + + + + xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx + + Is there anyway to defer the change in layout so that it occurs when the next page starts?? I can obviously force my own page breaks using \page and give \setuplayout immediately afterwards, but this doesn't allow for paragraph text to flow over the page boundary. Thank you. David Brooks

The \ConTeXt macro and sans serif fonts
by Gerben Wierda 11 Jan '15

11 Jan '15

I want to use the \ConTeXt macro (so the colofon says \ConTeXt was used), but I'm using the Optima font. The result is pretty ugly. With a standard serif font that looks OK, as the n of Con would touch the serif of the upper side of the T if moved more to the right but with a sans serif font, a 'hole' exists between Con and TeXt: Is it OK to define my own \ConTeXt so that the kerning is more pleasing? G PS. I'm obviously close to finsihing the book if this is what I worry about.

Reference to prologue becomes "Chapter 1"

10 Jan '15

I have a chapter in the frontmatter that has no chapter number. The first chapter in the real book is Chapter 1. But when I refer to \in{chapter}[prologue], what I get is "chapter 1". Is there a way I can make \in{chapter}[prologue] return something like "the prologue"? I'm using mkii G
