Very tasteful new look, I like the colors (except for the "links" page, the mauve doesn't go very well with the rest). One has to get used to the idea that a website is presented like a pdf document in sequential order, but the clean look is quite beautiful. Of course, I was impatient and downloaded the latest version, and now I get a couple errors when processing, but I hope can straighten that out. Congratulations, Hans, wonderful work! Best Thomas

OK, this is not a real error, but the latest version keeps nagging for
updates:
ConTeXt ver: 2004.06.10 fmt: 2004.10.6 int: english mes: english
systems : pdfTeX version 111 -> please update
systems : eTeX version 201 -> too old (bugs)
This looks more serious:

Heh, I love those colors. Nicest composition of them all actually. Anyway, Hans: "stand alone" is spelled "stand-alone", or, if you would like to steer people into treating it as a single word, "standalone" (on the download page 1) nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

Hello, I was trying to use \startfiguretext to place a second graphics within the figuretext. This makes the main graphics disappear: \starttext \startfiguretext [left] {none} {\externalfigure[graph1][width=2.8in]} text text more text \placefigure [here] {none} {\externalfigure[graph2][width=1.5in]} \stopfiguretext \stoptext The result should look like graph1 text graph1 text graph1 graph2 graph1 graph2 but graph1 1 doesn't show anymore (not even on another page). Is this a mistake of mine, should I use something else (tables? -- never tried so far), or a missing feature? The new web site is great. Now that I can see what the manuals are about, I am condemned to try it all out. It has already cost me this afternoon :) Matthias

You want the 'impossible': both use the figure floater so the first one is forgotten when the second is encountered; tables are a solution, or maybe: \useMPlibrary[dum] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuplayout[backspace=8cm,leftmargin=6cm,width=middle,cutspace=2cm] \starttext \placefigure [leftmargin,reset] {none} {\externalfigure[graph1][width=\leftmarginwidth]} \input ward \placefigure [here] {none} {\externalfigure[graph2][width=1.5in]} \input hawking \stoptext \useMPlibrary[dum] \setupcolors[state=start] \setuplayout[backspace=8cm,leftmargin=6cm,width=middle,cutspace=2cm] \starttext \placefigure [leftmargin,reset] {none} {\externalfigure[graph1][width=\leftmarginwidth]} \input ward \placefigure [here] {none} {\externalfigure[graph2][width=1.5in]} \input hawking \stoptext

Thanks Hans, this was most helpful! I have another question, though: After looking at various 'built-in' documentation styles I am wondering about the best way to modify one of these. I couldn't find any documentation besides how to use the styles as they are. So, if I want to make (say) the "green style" blue and with smaller buttons, are there setups for this? If yes, do I learn about these by looking at the source, or, if no, do I copy the source and try my best to mess around with it? Matthias On Oct 7, 2004, at 2:29 AM, Hans Hagen wrote:

just overload them in your own style: yourstyle.tex : \usemodule[pre-green] .. your modufications .. yourdocument.tex: \environment yourstyle .. the text .. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

just overload them in your own style:
yourstyle.tex :
\usemodule[pre-green]
.. your modufications ..
yourdocument.tex:
\environment yourstyle
.. the text ..
I didn't figure out yet how to know which s-pre-xx.tex defines which style, but if you want to use and modify the green one, take a look at s-pre-02.tex or even better: general/sources/s-pre-02.pdf at pragma-ade website. The documentation there is not visual (like in other manuals), but pretty self-evident for someone with at least some minimal experience with ConTeXt. To change the background color, after finding the following line in s-pre-02.tex: \definecolor [OrnamentColor] [r= 0, g=.7, b=.4] it is not difficult to guess that an additional line anywhere at the beginning of your document or style file, like: \definecolor [OrnamentColor] [r= 0, g=.4, b=.7] will change the color from green to blue. To get smaller buttons, notice the \bottomheight used overall where the buttons are drawn. (In page-run.tex you can see that that 'bottom' is resposnsible to set the proper bottomheight.) So \setuplayout[bottom=.4cm] should solve your problem. If you want to change the look of buttons more dramatically, simply copy and modify the lines: \startuniqueMPgraphic{RightArrow}{height} ... \stopuniqueMPgraphic You can try to play with single portions of settings. A very beautiful thing in TeX is that one definition simply overloads the other, so it's not too difficult to modify a properly designed style. Regards, Mojca Miklavec
