framed algorithm / float: problems with line break
Dear all, Quick access: there is no line break in case algorithmic is used together with framed as a float. I'd like to put some pseudocode in my document. I've used the algorithmic module. Since I'd like to refer to the algorithm in the text, I've defined a float environment. However, putting the pseudocode into my document, I've realised that it does not really stand out from the text. My first idea was to put some box around it. In the garden I've found some example for using framed together with floats: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Framed However, this screws up the line break in the algorithmic environment. I could define manually the size of the box, but I think there might be better solutions. Any ideas or better ways for achieving this or a similar behaviour?! Thanks in advance.

You have to add “align=right” to \framed to force a multiline frame but you don’t need the command because floats do also use the \framed command. You can use this feature and set the background with \setupfloat, only the text color can’t be set with \setupfloat because it’s applied to late in the process and a manual setting is necessary. I can add a “color” key to the algorithmic environment which allows you to set the color with \setupalgorithmic and you don’t need the \white command after \startalgorithmic anymore. \usemodule[algorithmic] \definefloat[algorithm][algorithms] \setuplabeltext[de][algorithm=Algorithmus ] \setupcaption [algorithm] [headstyle=bold, location=top, width=0.95\textwidth] \setupfloat [algorithm] [background=color, backgroundcolor=darkblue] \starttext \placealgorithm[top][alg:some-algorithm]{Some description of some algorithm.} {\startalgorithmic\white \STATE choose $\alpha\in(0,1)$ \WHILE{$\alpha < 100$} \STATE $\alpha \leftarrow \alpha + \alpha$ \ENDWHILE \stopalgorithmic} \stoptext Wolfgang
Dear Wolfgang, thanks for looking into this. Works nicely.
I can add a “color” key to the algorithmic environment which allows you to set the color with \setupalgorithmic and you don’t need the \white command after \startalgorithmic anymore.
The coloring in my minimal example was simply taken from contextgarden to make sure that I am consistent with what is typically used as an example. Personally, I think this is way to fancy. I'll use some faint color so that I do not need to change the text color. So from my perspective there is no need for a color command. Cheers, Andreas
