Re: [NTG-context] newline with \setupTABLE[bottom=...]

Hello,
in accordance to http://context.literatesolutions.com/collector/52
I got used to write things like:
\starttext
\setupTABLE[c][1][style=before,bottom=after]
\bTABLE
\bTR\bTD X\eTD\bTD bla\eTD\eTR
\bTR\bTD X\eTD\bTD bla\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
This worked fine, but with the latest ConTeXt, the bottom=... introduces a
newline. Do you have a solution for this issue?
first of all, style is rather special, so you'd better not abuse that one to
often (there is some checking on the meaning done)
the companion of bottom is top and both are meant for vertical things, normally
the \start/\stop things ; some commands provide left and right for horizontal
things which is probably what you're looking for
top bottom usage: the following sets a narrower text (the origin of this
thread)
\bTABLE[top=\startnarrower,bottom=\stopnarrower]
\bTR \bTD something \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
this is also a nice one:
\startsetups whatever
whatever initialzations needed
\stopsetups
\bTABLE[setups=whatever]
\bTR \bTD something \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
the next code implements left/right:
\unprotect
\def\bTBLCELL % why not \doinhibitblank
{\inhibitblank
\doconvertfont\tbltblstyle\empty
\everypar{\tbltblleft\delayedbegstrut}}
\def\eTBLCELL
{\ifhmode

Agreed, but this is a great step forward and explains the behaviour. It
it true that in Arabic the digits making up a number should read from
ltr while separated numbers forming a section or float reference should
read rtl overall.
So we are nearly there, just the cross-references to be dealt with,

Also, probably because it uses the same cross-referencing mechanism,
this leaves the section numbers in tables of contents the other way
around. So to match the setupheads, we need also:
\setuplist[section,subsection,...][separator={{.}}]
Unfortunately
\setupreferencing[separator={{.}}]
seems to just put an extra . before the figure number, but not reverse

numbers!
\def\ArabicUTF
{\ArabicDirGlobal
\usefiltersequence[UTFArabic]%
\switchtobodyfont[omarb]%
\isolateseparators} % will handle separators
of course you should not expect proper kerning when isolation is used with
latin
things like this actually need some advanced control (special otp's for
difference situations, depending on what one's dealing with, then to be hooked
into the code at the right place, which is tricky since it may get lost later
one etc etc)
still messed up: math display formulas, strange number reversion and swapping
l/r [since omega has bugs with math i'm not sure what is the reason]
maybe duncan/idris/taco have an idea

Hello John, you could try the tetex-rpm from http://pmrb.free.fr/work/OS/ConTeXt/tetex/ It has the latest ConTeXt (also latest pdfTeX and MetaPost) and a command updateConTeXt.sh to easily update to the most recent ConTeXt. Cheers, Peter Now that is in interesting download. I see the following files and instructions: tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm-1 20-Jun-2006 17:54 66.8M [ ] tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm-2 20-Jun-2006 17:56 41.8M [SND] tetex-3.0-3.nosrc.rpm 20-Jun-2006 17:5611k [ ] tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm-1 20-Jun-2006 17:58 66.8M [ ] tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm-2 20-Jun-2006 18:01 62.0M [SND] tetex-3.0-4.nosrc.rpm 21-Jun-2006 21:3511k To get the package tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm, you need to do cat tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm-1 tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm-2 tetex-3.0-3.i586.rpm To get the package tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm, you need to do cat tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm-1 tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm-2 tetex-3.0-3.src.rpm Both packages can be build from tetex-3.0-3.nosrc.rpm Peter OK if I catenate the two 586 files, I get one rpm. Presumably I can just unpack the rpm and go. Or do I need to do something with one of the two nosrc RPMs? And why are there two nosrc RPMs? I'm a tarball guy myself, although Slack has an RPM command too. Anyhow the first two are downloading right now. Stay tuned.

Cheers, Peter Well I downloaded the two files, catenated them into one called tetex.rpm, and then tried to unpack the result with rpm -i tetex.rpm I got a fistful of spurious error messages. So I missed something somewhere.
