[NTG-context] Placing a box with left-aligned lines on the right border
Hello,
how to more easily achieve this?:
Some text on line Text in box
Longer text in the box
Shorter text in box
|--|
Width of the box is
that of the longest
text in it
||
Some space between the preceeding
text and the box
|--|
Text width available (\textwidth)
The solution should have the following features:
- Text in the box to be written at once with a token (be \\ or \par or
another) to go to the next line;
- The box (wrapping Text in box, Longer text in the box, Shorter text in
box) should have no width specified -
it should get it from the longest member (line) in it (in our case: width of
Longer text in the box);
- Text in the box should be alignleft;
- Base line of first text the box to be vertically aligned to the base of the
preceding text, i.e.
Some text on line to have the same basement as Text in box;
- A horizontal filler may be placed between Some text on line and the box to fit
text width available.
Two ways that don't go to the goal, just to demonstrate my trials and fails:
\starttext
% 1
Some text on line\hfill Text in box\par
\hfill Longer text in the box\par
\hfill Shorter text in box\par
% 2
Some text on line\hfill\framed[width=5cm,align=flushleft,frame=off]
{Text in box\\
Longer text in the box\\
Shorter text in box}
\stoptext
Way 1 - problems:
- The text to be boxed is not written in a box environment;
- the text to be boxed is not left-aligned in the box (as it actually is not in
a box).
Way 2 - problems:
- The text in the box (\framed) must have width specified;
- the text in the box goes over the line where it is placed, not with first
line basement aligned.
So - how to achieve the layout desired?
(Hint:
The situation may be imagined as the top of a letter page:
write some text to the left, fill with the maximum space till you reach the box
for an address on the right of the current line;
write address lines left-aligned inside the box.)
Thank you for ideas in advance.
Best regards,
Lukas

And html 5 is just html with some extras (and assuming javascript i guess) ... marketing. The html 5 standard is far more. For one is makes flash, java and more obsolete. Far more than a marketing gag! well, if javascript is used instead it's still fluent ... every time i played with e.g. jquery or libraries i had to make sure i used the latest and had to adapt code .. there will be something new (and maybe even different) every decade (if only because that generates money) Another question for me is if ConTeXt should also output code for the iBooks epub format, (Basicaly epub, but some extras). Isn't a book supposed to be independent and kind of portable + long term visible? So no way that a context epub will be specific for a device. (I probably can't even get it on / test it on my outdated ipad 1 anyway.) I was thinking more along the line of the spine. ah, direct neural injection ... There are thing you can do in/with ConTeXt that would work with iBooks that do not in „ordinary“ epub books. Then, there is the Kindle format one might want to consider! Another lock-in device. Another, question which needs investigation is if the ConTeXt output for epub, also, implementing the fallbacks for missing features which is required? Context outputs three varants: regular xml, xhtml, and stupified xhtml with div/class tagging. The last one is supposed to work on all devices as it doesn't demands anything beyond css. If that is the case it is not very useful for a decent workflow. There would be to much to tweak to make good looking output. i'm not sure what you have in mind but context is a typesetting system and as such cannot produce an epub simply because epub is a blob of xml (html) with a css packages in a zip I have not investigated how it handles dimensions, widths, font sizes, spacing, etc. structure normally doesn't carry that information These are important in order to create output that adjust proper to the devices capabilities. One should avoid absolute values. there are hardly any values output ... but one can of course extend the css with font and color directives, probably different from the ones used in the pdf Of course if we want to emulate the printed output then we could simply create a pdf or very page as pdf and put in an epub wrapper. i've seen impressive examples of pdf turned html (huge html files btw) (fyi: i see pdf and html as independent things) (and i don't believe in reflow of pdf: it's either a design for made up pages or a flexible adaptive one as in html; and till now i never wished a paper book to reflow itself anyway but maybe if i really would use an epub device ... who knows ... i don't own ebooks currently as i cannot share docs freely then like i share books and i consider ebooks to be way too expensive for fun) Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

I have to correct myself, you can use „hang=none“ to avoid the overlapping

So, does anyone know how to replace 'and' with ', ' in my situation.
Look in the publ-imp-apa.mkvi file and overload the num setting:
pubsep={,},

finalpubsep={,}
Alan and I are currently working on the publication subsystem and there
will be an update soon. The configuration of these things will change a bit

- Text in the box should be alignleft;
- Base line of first text the box to be vertically aligned to the base of the
preceding text, i.e.
Some text on line to have the same basement as Text in box;
- A horizontal filler may be placed between Some text on line and the box
to fit text width available.
Two ways that don't go to the goal, just to demonstrate my trials and fails:
\starttext
% 1
Some text on line\hfill Text in box\par
\hfill Longer text in the box\par
\hfill Shorter text in box\par
% 2
Some text on line\hfill\framed[width=5cm,align=flushleft,frame=off]
{Text in box\\
Longer text in the box\\
Shorter text in box}
\stoptext
Way 1 - problems:
- The text to be boxed is not written in a box environment;
- the text to be boxed is not left-aligned in the box (as it actually is not
in a box).
Way 2 - problems:
- The text in the box (\framed) must have width specified;
- the text in the box goes over the line where it is placed, not with first
line basement aligned.
So - how to achieve the layout desired?
(Hint:
The situation may be imagined as the top of a letter page:
write some text to the left, fill with the maximum space till you reach
the box for an address on the right of the current line;
write address lines left-aligned inside the box.)
Method 1 (frame based):
\starttext
Some text on line
\hfill
\startframed[width=fit,align=flushleft,frame=off,location=top]
Text in box\\
Longer text in the box\\
Shorter text in box
\stopframed
\stoptext
Method 2 (layer based):
\definelayer[letterhead][width=\textwidth]
\setupbackgrounds[text][background=letterhead]
\starttext
\setlayerframed
[letterhead]
[preset=lefttop]
[offset=0pt,frame=off]
{Some text on line}
\setlayerframed
[letterhead]
[preset=righttop]
[offset=0pt,width=fit,align=flushleft,frame=off,location=top]
{Text in box\\
Longer text in the box\\
Shorter text in box}
\blank[force,4*line]
\input knuth
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Epub format Was: Re: Context to epub: itemize
On 2/18/2015 3:10 PM, Keith J. Schultz wrote: Hi Hraban, Good to know. I will investigate at another time and give feed back. I am in the middle of moving, so I do not have much time. We ought to think of making a export specific to epub in the long run! The export is not really geared at that, as it's a representation of the rendering (although structured). The additional html output can be used for previewing and to what extend it's okay depends on the intended use. Normally one starts from a neutral source (xml or tex) and then produces different output. So, for specific epub (or whatever) one can either start with the original code (xml) or manipulate what comes out of the export. The export is kind of standard so one can build all kind of scripts to convert it. There is no universal epub (rendering) solution, just as there is no universal pdf layout. Of course the idea is that the default export is good enough for simple documents. What more gets provided depends on needs (and currently at least I have no need for epub other than a dedicated pdf suitable for displays). Hans regards Keith.

The last one is supposed to work on all devices as it doesn't demands anything beyond css. The XML generated by ConTeXt is very well structured. So, an option is to simply provide XLST stylesheets that transform ConTeXT-XML to XHTML/HTML5/whatever. Such XLST transformation will be better than have ConTeXt chase a moving target. See e.g. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Epub_Sample I’ll try to update the pages about ConTeXt’s current export soon, since I have a new book in the pipeline.
