Hi, I'm working on a new manual. Some content and a rough outline can be found at: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/style.pdf Just to get an idea (let me know if you miss topics that fit in that approach) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE/POD/CTS Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Hans, Astonished about this manual! Unbelievable what you are cooking up all the time!! May be that you planned to include it already in the part over presets. It could be an idea to talk a little bit over binding correction and arranging. - Yet an unsolved question would be how to get hold on "kreeping" away typesetting areas while folding paper. - The difficulty herein is, that this effect depends on the number of folds to be made and the weight or better the thickness of paper.

Hello, I have a bunch of figures of the same dimension 3.5x3.5. On each page in a document, I'd like to place a pair of them \ so that -- the figures are exactly at the same location on each page -- there is a specific horizontal gap between the figures -- they are vertically aligned. In short, I'd be happy if I could force TeX to put the left upper corner of a figure at a specific location on the page. All figures have the same dimension. I tried to improve on \placefigure [nonumber,fit] [fig:page7] {Pair No 7} \framed{ \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[left7][width=3.5in]}{} {\externalfigure[right7][width=3.5in]}{} \stopcombination } but I have no clue how to make the whitespace between the figures to be say exactly .2 in, nor how to force a position of the float into the center of the page. Details.pdf contains lots of suggestions for placements, and I have the suspicion that I just haven't found it there yet -- maybe somebody here can help me? Thanks in advance for any help. Matthias

I leave it to you to figure out how to reach that much abstraction -) \useMPlibrary[dum] \definecombination [double] [distance=.2in, location=middle] \definefloat [doublefigure] [doublefigures] [figure] \setupfloat [doublefigure] [default={top,nonumber,fit}, frame=on] \useexternalfigure [double] [width=3.5in] \starttext \startbuffer \startcombination[double][2*1] {\externalfigure[left7][double][height=1in]} {} {\externalfigure[right7][double]} {} \stopcombination \stopbuffer \placedoublefigure[][fig:page7]{Pair No 7}{\getbuffer} test \stoptext

Isn't enough imposition (arranging) already in the "normal" manual? Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/
hans! very nice indeed this manual! thinking of trivial support tools, is there a (simple) script one could launch to get a list of all installed fonts (with a sample in the font itself), with the necessary instructions included as how to incorporate it in context? that would really make the difference... thanks! //floris

if you're a member of the ntg / dante in a couple of weeks you will get a (i hope nice) colorful font sampler booklet showing the free fonts on tex live (at the printer now); it's on my todo list to write an howto for those fonts Hans

i was thinking of system installed fonts. e.g. the reuse of the windows\fonts ttf directory. it would be nice if that could be as easy as selecting a font from within word :-) it would be a nice feature for texexec ... //f
