[NTG-context] Various ConTeXt Questions
Hi there, I am taking a look at conTeXt as a means of typesetting documents with more advanced page layouts which otherwise would be produced with desktop publishing suites. I am very new to conTeXt, so I know very little about it. The only documentation I have been able to find on the internet is: ConTeXt Garden ConTeXt an excursion ConTeXt : The manual I have been sifting through these for a while, and whilst the documentation is good, I still have questions. I must apologise if I missed the answers in the docs or if the questions are just plain dumb. 1) Is there a way to make ConTeXt stricter? It seem that ConTeXt will not complain if you misspell the names of colours, layers, overlays etc. I would rather it did. 2) Is there a way to overlay many layers/overlays at one place. It seems using background= can only take 1 layer/overlay. Even better if I could offset the layer/overlay from an origin. 3) I have had difficulty pushing the whole layout including the margin to the right about 2cm. I have tried using setuplayout to alter leftedge, leftedgedistance and backspace. Is that not the way to do it? 3a) Similarly I would like to make the textheight longer so that the footer is about 1cm from the bottom of the page. I have had no luck in setting textheight using setuplayout. 4) Is there a module to parse CVS tags, like the RCS package for laTeX? 5) Can I use OpenType and TrueType fonts in ConTeXt? Ideally via fontspec. 6) Is there a book on ConTeXt for beginners aside from what I have already listed above? 7) Can I specify RGB colours in th 0 = x = 255 format? So far I have had to write a script to help me convert them. 8) Is anyone proficient with ConTeXt going to the Cork TeX User Group meeting? Thanks. -- Best Regards Edd http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] Various ConTeXt Questions
Hi Edd,
I am taking a look at conTeXt as a means of typesetting documents with
more advanced page layouts which otherwise would be produced with
desktop publishing suites.
I am very new to conTeXt, so I know very little about it. The only
documentation I have been able to find on the internet is:
ConTeXt Garden
ConTeXt an excursion
ConTeXt : The manual
You can find all manuals from Pragma on their homepage:
http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-man-1.htm
I have been sifting through these for a while, and whilst the
documentation is good, I still have questions. I must apologise if I
missed the answers in the docs or if the questions are just plain
dumb.
1) Is there a way to make ConTeXt stricter?
It seem that ConTeXt will not complain if you misspell the names of
colours, layers, overlays etc. I would rather it did.
2) Is there a way to overlay many layers/overlays at one place.
It seems using background= can only take 1 layer/overlay. Even better
if I could offset the layer/overlay from an origin.
1. You could set multiple overlays with a comma seperated list and braces before
and after the list.
[...,background={overlay 1,overlay 2,...,overlay n},...]
2. You could use the x and y or offset, hoffset and voffset parameters
for \setlayer
to set the distance from your layer from all four corners of the page,
textblock or any
other pageblock.
3) I have had difficulty pushing the whole layout including the margin
to the right about 2cm.
I have tried using setuplayout to alter leftedge, leftedgedistance and
backspace. Is that not the way to do it?
The distance between the left margin of the paper and the left margin of
the textblock is set with the backspace key for \setuplayout.
\setuplayout[backspace=...]
3a) Similarly I would like to make the textheight longer so that the
footer is about 1cm from the bottom of the page. I have had no luck in
setting textheight using setuplayout.
You could set a fixed value for the footer and let TeX calculate the textheight.
\setuplayout
[bottomspace=1cm,
height=fit]
4) Is there a module to parse CVS tags, like the RCS package for laTeX?
5) Can I use OpenType and TrueType fonts in ConTeXt? Ideally via fontspec.
It is possible to use TrueType and OpenType fonts with pdfTeX but this requires
tfm files and a map file.
The easier method is to use XeTeX or LuaTeX as engines and the only thing
you need is a typescript file with the font names and their mapping to ConTeXt's
own font names.
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_XeTeX (a little bit outdated)
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mark_IV#Fonts_and_typescripts (shoudl
also work with XeTeX)
6) Is there a book on ConTeXt for beginners aside from what I have
already listed above?
7) Can I specify RGB colours in th 0 = x = 255 format?
So far I have had to write a script to help me convert them.
This is not possible but you could use the hex notation
\setupcolor[hex]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definecolor[hexred] [#FF]
\definecolor[hexgreen][h=00FF00]
\starttext
\color[hexred]{Red Text}
\color[hexgreen]{Green Text}
\stoptext
8) Is anyone proficient with ConTeXt going to the Cork TeX User Group meeting?
Thanks.
Wolfgang

Re: [NTG-context] xetex and attachment: troubles
Thanks Mojca,
The problem is not the --xtx switch, but the lack of support for the
underlying (xdvipdfmx) driver.
Sorry, please remember I'm very far from there...
I was just meaning: the problem is in xetex engine?
I googled a bit and found the following slides:
http://project.ktug.or.kr/dvipdfmx/doc/tug2005.pdf
see page 18 in particular.
thanks, means really nothing to me :-)
In spec-fdf there is:
\definespecial \doattachfile {\doPDFattachfile}
\def\doPDFattachfile#1#2#3#4#5#6#7#8%
{\bgroup % title width height color symbol file
\edefconvertedargument\PDFfile{#8}%
% beware: the symbol may (indirectly) use the file
% reference when typesetting the object number;
\presetPDFsymbolappearance{#5}{#6}{#2}{#3}{#4}% sets width/height
\startPDFsymbolappearance
\doPDFembedfile\PDFfile{#7}{#8}%
\doPDFgetembeddedfilereference\PDFfile\PDFobjectreference
\setFDFlayer\@@DriverAttachmentLayer
\doPDFannotation{\width}{\totalheight}
{/Subtype /FileAttachment
/FS \PDFobjectreference\space
/Contents (#1)
\PDFsymbol
\FDFlayer
\PDFattributes}%
\stopPDFsymbolappearance
\egroup}
Something similar needs to be added to spec-dpx.tex.
Can't follow you here. What is spec-dpx?

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.

You could define subsection as a copy from section.
\setupsection[section][conversion=numbers,previousnumber=no]
\definehead[subsection][section]
\setuphead[subsection][style=]
I tried to get this effect also with ConTeXt's subhead and setupsection
commands but failed to get the desired effect. The only way to know
and understand the keys for both commands is to read the source :-(

[NTG-context] unknown reference fnt:f:50
Hi!
I have compiled my file but it stopped on page 14 with the log file
(bottom of the message) saying unknown reference
I remarked that hyphenation patterns for portuguese do this hypenation
li-gar-am instead of li-ga-ram. How can I correct that?
I remarked that hyphenation for pronominal verbs in portuguese is also
incorrect (though wordprocessors do that as well) because when, say,
this verb amo-te is broken across two lines it should be hyphenated
this way
amo-
-te
A fix will be very welcomed.

i.t., there should be two hyphens sbreaks this ver)

[NTG-context] luatex feature question/request
Hello! I was just wondering, whether something like this is possible in luatex - and if not, if it might be implemented;). I'd like to be able to transform somehow the input right *before* TeX sees it. What I mean is e.g. a transformation using regexps. Application I have in mind is as follows: in Polish, there are a few prepositions which are one-letter words; it's a bad custom to leave them hanging at the end of a line. Such an option could automatically put ties (~) instead of spaces after them - a feature sometimes requested by Polish TeX users.
