[NTG-context] texmfstart problem
Hello Hans and others,I've got the following problem...I used to use such a command to compile my documents:texexec --format=cont-cz --mode=print file.texAfter upgrade to latest ConTeXt (2006-05-17), I got a warning "Use 'texmfstart texexec' instead!".So I've changed my batch to call:texmfstart texexec --format=cont-cz --mode=print file.texBut it seems the --format switch is not processed correctly because the cont-en format is always used.

[NTG-context] Weird texexec hang
Hello,
I took me quite some time to extract the following sequence from a 300p
book, that makes the compilation hang. It looks like if it's in an
infinite loop, but I don't know what happens. It seems related to the
interaction of float, verbatim, and background stuff.
I thought it was a local resource problem (few memory on my machine) but
trying the code in live context never gave something either (i hope it is
not still running!).
What's wrong in my definitions/setups to have such a behaviour?

[NTG-context] Framed in nested enumeration
Hi,
Inside a nested enumeration \frame[align=leftflush] does not work
correctly. For example
\defineenumeration
[problem]
[text=Problem,
location=hanging,
headstyle=\sc,
%headcolor=brown,
%before={\resetnumber[formula]\page[desirable]},
after=\blank,
]
\defineenumeration
[solution]
[
text=Solution,
number=no,
% headcolor=darkblue,
headstyle=bold,
location=serried,
width=broad,
before=\blank,
after=\blank,
]
\starttext
\startproblem
\input knuth %A multi paragraph problem
\startsolution
A multi paragraph solution
\leftaligned{In leftaligned works fine}
\framed[frame=on,align=leftflushed,width=broad]
{ Inside framed does not}
\startformula
\stopsolution
\stopproblem
\stoptext
Is there an option other than align=leftflushed for this kind of
thing.
Thanks,
Aditya

[NTG-context] textbackground and margin
Hi Hans,
textbackground does not honour topoffset/bottomoffset at pagebreak.
Is this by design?
\definetextbackground
[test]
[ location=paragraph,
rulethickness=1pt,
leftoffset=1em,
topoffset=5cm,
bottomoffset=5cm] % For test purposes
\starttext
\starttextbackground[test]
\dorecurse{15}{\input knuth \endgraf}
\stoptextbackground
\stoptext
Is there some parameter to adjust the offset before and after a
pagebreak. (I want them to be same as bottomoffset and topoffset.)
Or should I take care of this in mpos:par:columnset with something
like (pseudo code)
if nofmultipars 1
draw multipars[1] enlarge bottom by bottomoffset;
for i = 2 upto nofmultipars:
draw multipars[i]
enlarge top by topoffset enlarge bottom by bottomoffset;
endfor;
endif;
Or is there some easier way to just I influence boxfilloffset for
do_draw_par in core-mp.tex?
Thanks,
Aditya

(width=middle can adjust the width automatically if backspace equals forwardspace, but I'm not aware of an option that would calculate the width automatically for different space on left and right; perhaps you can use \dimexpr, but I didn't try it) Mojca ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] Margin definition trouble.
Mojca Miklavec wrote: Margin as the dimension parameter in \setuplayout is not the distance between text and the border, but the width of an auxiliary field on the left and right (chech the command above to see those fields). Thanks for pointing out my folly. I did some more digging in the ConTeXtgarden and came up with the following: \setuplayout[ topspace=1in, % the space at the very top of the page backspace=1.5in, % the space in the left hand side of the page cutspace=1in, % the space on the right hand side of the page bottomspace=1in, footer=0in ] This gets me significantly closer to where I need to be, but the right edge is more at 15/16 than at 1 in and the bottom one more at 17/16. Any hints on how to get it even closer? Joh ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
