I'm trying to typeset some program listings with annotations alongside. I've tried both columns and tabulate but both have (different) issues: 1) Plain \typefile won't allow the line numbers to be in the text - they stay in the margin whch I don't want. 2) \typefile using a \definedtyping name does work and works in \columns as well. This is great until my listing is too long to fit on a page and then I'd rather have the column continue onto the next page but \columns balances of course. 3) \tabulate allows a single cell to continue down over the page exactly as I'd like, but the line numbers disappear altogether. (And it has to be a single cell because the program listings are in source files that I want to include using \typefile rather than re-enter to avoid typos.) You can see each of these effects with the following MWE which first needs a file called "three_lines.txt" to be created in the local directory containing the lines: one two three %%%% begin \setuplinenumbering[location=text,style=\small\tt] \starttext Location=text not working in main body \typefile[numbering=line]{three_lines.txt} But it does work if a custom typing environment is created. \definetyping[MyTyping][style=\tt] \typefile[MyTyping][numbering=line]{three_lines.txt} Still works if used in a column \startcolumns \typefile[MyTyping][numbering=line]{three_lines.txt} \column :-) \stopcolumns \blank But doesn't work if used in tabulate \starttabulate[|p|p|] \NC \typefile[MyTyping][numbering=line]{three_lines.txt} \NC No line numbers at all :-( \NR \stoptabulate \stoptext %%%% end What I'd most like is for tabulate to allow \typefile with line numbers if at all possible. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
