Hi all, Have been looking around in doc, but could not catch a simple way to insert an image into my doc. What is the simplest way to do this ? My image name is paris.bmp, and i don't have any info about the size (lets assume it is a 4cmx4cm). Thanks for any help.

I am thinking in producing a book in two languages. One language will be in the verso side of the paper sheet, and the second language will be in the rector side. Trying to be as mirror images so the reader could (if so desired) learn one language from the other. Questions: 1) Is there a way to do it with two files (one for langauge 1, another for language 2) or do I have to put all in one file? 2) Would it be easier to write two pdfs file and do a composition afterward? 3) How to control the length of pages in each language individually, to match the content of the recto/verso pages. Any general advice? thank you Ciro

Sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but I was very interested in what type of book you planned to write. It sounds interesting. Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry@iglou.com * ************************
well, it seems there is nobody willing to give me any tip on this...
FYI, I am thinking in several bi-lingual books: one novel, one book of
poems (which is
very dificult, but easier for layout as I want since poems are generally short),
one cookbook, and possible an engineering book. But all depends on
whether the layout is easy to make.

i played with dual streams a bit yesterday but have no time to explore it now; it's a tricky business and much depends on what the input / output is to be it is doable to develop a framework for this, but only when you and others first come up with some decent spec (what kind of input, what kind of sync, what kind of content, how to handle floats, etc) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I am not sure whether ConTeXt supports .bmp. You can try \placefigure [] [figure:label] {My Caption} {\externalfigure[paris][width=4cm]} ConTeXt will look for picture files it understands that begin with "paris", starting with the ones that produce best quality. If it doesn't like the .bmp extension, convert your file to .png (lossless compression) or .jpg. This also will have the advantage that your pdf file will become smaller.
