Hi,

is it possible to define a block, where lines are automatically formatted differently? For example: first line in caps, second in bold, others normal.

Is this possible? And how? If you mean input lines, then yes. But if you mean output lines, then I don't know. It seems a well-defined task, but a hard task judging by how the line-breaking algorithm is described by Knuth. I'll leave that question to experts.

Here's a way to process the input lines. If there's a counter that counts the line number, there would be another way; but I couldn't find out that there was a counter. There may be better ways anyway.

\define\FirstLine{\let\myLine\SecondLine\sc} \define\SecondLine{\let\myLine\OtherLine\bf} \define\OtherLine{\tf} \definelines[doMyLines][command=\myLine] \def\startMyLines{\let\myLine\FirstLine\startdoMyLines} \def\stopMyLines{\stopdoMyLines}

Yes, that's exactly what I meant, and you even answered my next question, too. Thank you! Ingo

\define\FirstLine{\let\myLine\SecondLine\sc} \define\SecondLine{\let\myLine\OtherLine\bf} \define\OtherLine{\tf} \definelines[doMyLines][command=\myLine] \def\startMyLines{\let\myLine\FirstLine\startdoMyLines} \def\stopMyLines{\stopdoMyLines} As I said that works, but while trying to understand this, I found that the documentation for \definelines doesn't mention the "command=" option. On the other hand it does mention "align=" and this doesn't work. Neither does \setuplines.

I always get "undefined control sequence".

\definelines[doFirstBoldRight][command=\myLine] \setupdoFirstBoldRight[align=flushleft]

\setuplines[doFirstBoldRight][…]

OR

\definelines[doFirstBoldRight][align=flushleft,command=\myLine]

gives the same error.

Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Make a complete example. BTW: I suggest to use my Lua example from the other thread. Wolfgang

On the other hand it does mention "align=" and this doesn't work. Neither does \setuplines. I figured it out from the source, spac-lin.mkiv. One might see there that the "align" key does not seem to be processed; it s a relic from a previous version of ConTeXt, I suppose. Many macros have a "command" key, which usually seems to be a method for customizing the basic unit, in this case a line. (The source is written in a certain style that makes it possible often to figure things out, even when the wiki is not up-to-date. I say "possible" but not always easy.

My #1 "Wish List" item for ConTeXt is /allowing/ "stylesheets" at the paragraph level. That would allow closer correspondence with what CSS/CSS3, Scribus, ODT, EPUB3 &al do and make it much easier to write transformation scripts whether XSLT, lua code, Perl code or whatever favorite tool one wishes to use.

I envision something like (psuedo code):

\setupstylesheet[myparagraphstyle] [font=AccanthisADF, fontsize=12pt, fontstyle=italic, alignment=justified, frame=no, color=blue, width=\textwidth, &c .... ]

\starttext

\startparagraph[style=mystylesheet] \input tufte \stopparagraph

\input knuth

\stoptext

The output would have the tufte quote formatted according to my stylesheet and knuth in whatever the global style is.

The style parameter in the start/stop paragraph would, of course, be /optional/ so existing documents would be unchanged from current behavior but allow the introduction of paragraph styles.

A few of these values can be set for certain paragraphs with the new \defineparagraph command. Wolfgang
