[NTG-context] Centering a figure vertically on a page
Hello,
the subject line basically covers my problem: I have a large (tikz)
figure, and I want to have it by itself on a page, centered both
horizontally and vertically. How can I achieve this? I already know
that \setuppagenumber[state=stop] is a good idea, and \midaligned{...}
gives me horizontal centering; what about vertical? The problem is
that the figure is larger than the text area (and this doesn't bother
me, it's a game board and it may extend almost to the paper border),
so \vfill doesn't work (and \vss doesn't, either).
TIA

Re: [NTG-context] [***SPAM***] quotationmarks just before new line
Hello,
It frequently happens to me that a new line in an output-document starts just
after a quotation mark. So I encounter lines in my ConTeX-created .pdf like:
And the prince of Denmark spoke: '
?how weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!'
Its hard to say how often this happens but I'd say its roughly every 50
quotations.
A minimal example to see the problem in action: (also
onhttp://pastebin.com/cEMiGZju)
\mainlanguage [de]
\setuppapersize[A4]
\setuplayout[width=6cm]
\setupquotation
[1]
[left=, right=]
\setupquote
[1]
[left=, right=]
\starttext
\language[de]
Bereiche der\quotation{waren transparent, so dass} man auf. \quotation{die
darunterliegenden} Grafiken sehen konnte. \quotation{Die Paletten konnten mit
der} nicht-dominanten \quotation{Hand bewegt werden} %gibberish content
\stoptext
I'm using LiveTex 2011/LuaTex typeset but the problem can be reproduced using the example
code athttp://live.contextgarden.net/ and the XeTeX-Setting.
Is there any fix to this problem?
You have to add \nobreak between the quotation mark and the text, e.g.
\setupdelimitedtext[quotation][1][left=?\nobreak]
but I can give you better answer when you tell use why do you want to change
the delimiters as shown above because ? and ? are the default symbols for german
when you use \quotation.

Hello,
Thanks! That did the job as far as I can see.
I did set the Quotation Marks manually since I considered to change them
to Guillemets (?» «) later.

Jan

When you want to change the quotation marks it’s better to change them with
\setuplanguage
and set the right sign for the current level with \symbol[…quotation] and
\symbol[…quote].
\setuplanguage
[de]
[ leftquotation=»,
rightquotation=«,
leftquote=›,
rightquote=‹]
\mainlanguage[de]

text \quotation{text} text \quote{text} text
text \quotation{text \quote{text} text} text
text \quotation{text \quotation{text} text} text
\setupdelimitedtext[quotation:1][left={\symbol[leftquotation]},right={\symbol[rightquotation]}]
\setupdelimitedtext[quotation:2][left={\symbol[leftquote]},
right={\symbol[rightquote]}]
text \quotation{text \quotation{text} text} text
\stoptext
BTW: There is a change in the way how to set the values for a certain delimited
text level in MkIV as shown above.

My TeX culture remains, alas, always limited (even if I have the
TeXbook on my office bookshelf, indeed \centerbox does not appear in
plain TeX). Nothing in the ConTeXt manual, either. Of course, a
leisurely browsing of the source code would reveal many such treasures!

ConTeXt redefines \vcenter because the primitive can only be used in math mode.

[NTG-context] itemize behaviour
I do not understand the workings of the itemize. What I want is two nested itemlists. The outer one unpacked, the inner one packed. In the inner one the itemlist should be joinedup with the text before it. I do not get this working, see the examples. The inner list is separated from the Intro to inner list. It looks like the joinedup in the second example has no effect, because deleting it makes no difference. Switching the joinedup over to the outer itemize in the third example pulls everything together and destroys the unpacked of the first list.
