Divider in grid environment
by Jan Tosovsky 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

Dear All, I'd like to use a divider between certain paragraphs. As I want to keep all the lines on the grid so it should have a height = N x line height. As \hl renders the line on baseline, I have to tweek the space before/after using the 'blank' command to keep the horizontal line in the +/- middle: \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid \showlayoutcomponents \starttext \input{ward} \blank[4mm]\middlealigned{\hl[4]}\blank[6mm] \input{ward} \stoptext But this solution requires adjustments for different fonts or font sizes... Is there a more efficient way how to accomplish this? Thanks, Jan

It works, but that empty space above looks weird You have to force a certain width for your images because the width of the text space depends on the width of the images. You can use \framed (instead of loffset/roffset you can also set a fixed width) or \simplealignedbox to set the width of the images. \setupexternalfigures[location=default] \defineframed[CombinationBox][frame=off,offset=none,loffset=3cm,roffset=3cm] \starttext \startplacefigure[location={force,none}] \startcombination[nx=1,ny=2,align={last,hz,hanging},style=\itx] % first image \startcontent %\simplealignedbox{11cm}{middle}{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \CombinationBox{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \stopcontent \startcaption \input{ward} \stopcaption % second image \startcontent %\simplealignedbox{11cm}{middle}{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \CombinationBox{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]} \stopcontent \startcaption \input{ward} \stopcaption \stopcombination \stopplacefigure \stoptext Wolfgang

Finally fixed with align=last :-) This is the improved example. The only remaining issue is an one empty line between the image and the label when \startnarrower command is used. Please compare two pages w/o this option set: %\definefontfamily[palatino][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default, quality}] %\setupbodyfont[palatino] \setupnarrower[middle=-2.8cm] \starttext test \startplacefigure[location=page, number=no, title={}] \setupcombinations[align={last, hz, hanging}] {\startcombination[1*2] {\externalfigure[cow]} {\startnarrower {\itx \input{tufte}} \stopnarrower} {\externalfigure[cow]} {\startnarrower {\itx \input{lorem}} \stopnarrower} \stopcombination} \stopplacefigure \startplacefigure[location=page, number=no, title={}] \setupcombinations[align={last, hz, hanging}] {\startcombination[1*2] {\externalfigure[cow]} {\itx \input{ward}} {\externalfigure[cow]} {\itx \input{ward}} \stopcombination} \stopplacefigure \stoptext I haven't find any better way to extend the caption width than that negative value for narrowed text. It works, but that empty space above looks weird :-( Thanks for any suggestions, Jan

I've found it is a general problem with the centering the last line when hanging alignment is set. Here is the similar thread, but with no response: https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg32884.html This is quite old thread. Are there any new possibilities in the Context from that era? Thanks, Jan

It has given me exactly what I needed. In fact one "\startmakeup[standard] - \stopmakeup"-pair, with is dedication-text, was sufficient for my doublesided document. I did not know of this command and its workings. Best regards, Robert

Additional unnumbered pages behind a title page
by Robert Blackstone 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Dear list, For a Thesis, doublesided, I need three unnumbered pages behind the Title-page, the second of which contains only a dedication "To the memory of A". For the Title-page I use standardmakeup but ConTeXt apparently does not like me to add a second .tex-file with standardmakeup. How can I manage to accomplish this in a way worthy of ConTeXt? Thanks in advance for any advice Best regards, Robert Blackstone (I did find a hack, consisting of introducing between the Title-page and the FrontMatter a .tex-file, beginning with \setuppagenumber[state=stop], of which the second page is filled with stack of empty framed textboxes with their frames off. It does work somehow but I cannot believe that it is the right method.)

another question on simplefonts
by Pablo Rodriguez 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hi Wolfgang, I have the following code: \definefontfeature[fakeslanted][slant=.25] \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][TeX Gyre Pagella][slantedfont={* Regular},sl=features:fakeslanted] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext This is {\em slanted}. \stoptext But I don’t know how to define "slantedfont={* Regular}" with the new syntax. "sl=style:tf" or "sl=style:regular" don’t work (the italic font is the slanted one). Which is the right way to do it in the new version of simplefonts? BTW, I think I should update the simplefonts article in the wiki to add the new syntax. After reading the font-sel.mkvi file, I have two questions: Which are the option keys that come before a colon? I mean, taking tf=style:bf as a sample, they would be style, file, features? Which ones am I missing? How about a new range preset for Hebrew? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
