[NTG-context] Problem with margin figures and whitespace in text
I have two problems with figures placed into the left or right margin. When the figure is in a group, extra whitespace is inserted between the paragraphs that precede and follow the placefigure command. This happens for figures placed by startplacefigure/stopplacefigure and tradiitonal placefigure commands, and paragraphs placed by startparagraph/stopparagraph or marked by par or newlines. When the figure is not in a group, whitespace called for by \setupwhitespace is lost, except when the paragraphs are marked by traditional means. That is, whitespace is lost when startparagraph/stopparagraph is used. Interestingly, when that is changed to bpar/epar, the problem for ungrouped figures disappears, but as I understand it, bpar/epar is not a real substitute for startparagraph/stopparagraph. There is probably a simple explanation, but it eludes me. I prefer to be able to use startparagraph/stopparagraph, and it is sometimes desirable to place a figure into a group in order to prevent unique settings from leaking out. The following should demonstrate the problem. Turning on grid setting makes it worse. I get the same result with current betas and older versions. \useMPlibrary [dum] %\showgrid \setuplayout[%grid=yes, backspace=151pt,leftmargin=117pt] \setupwhitespace[big] \define\Paragraph{\startparagraph\input khatt-en\stopparagraph} \starttext { \subject{Start/stop paragraphs and figures} \subsubject{Group, extra whitespace} \Paragraph \Paragraph \begingroup \startplacefigure[location={leftmargin,none}] \externalfigure[A] \stopplacefigure \endgroup \Paragraph \Paragraph \subsubject{No group, no whitespace} \Paragraph \Paragraph \startplacefigure[location={leftmargin,none}] \externalfigure[A] \stopplacefigure \Paragraph \Paragraph \Paragraph } \page { \subject{Start/stop paragraphs, traditional figures} \subsubject{Group, extra whitespace} \Paragraph \Paragraph {\placefigure[leftmargin,none]{}{\externalfigure[A]}} \Paragraph \Paragraph \subsubject{No group, no whitespace} \Paragraph \Paragraph \placefigure[leftmargin,none]{}{\externalfigure[A]} \Paragraph \Paragraph \Paragraph } \page { \subject{Traditional paragraphs, start/stop figures} \subsubject{Group, extra whitespace} \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \begingroup% or \bgroup or { \startplacefigure[location={leftmargin,none}] \externalfigure[A] \stopplacefigure \endgroup% or \egroup or } \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \subsubject{Okay} \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \startplacefigure[location={leftmargin,none}] \externalfigure[A] \stopplacefigure \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par } \page { \subject{Traditional paragraphs, traditional figures} \subsubject{Group, extra whitespace} \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par {\placefigure[leftmargin,none]{}{\externalfigure[A]}} \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \subsubject{Okay} \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \placefigure[leftmargin,none]{}{\externalfigure[A]} \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par \input khatt-en\par } \stoptext -- Rik ___ 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 ___

We are close to being able to use ConTeXt as a replacement for markdown in, e.g., WordPress. Hi Idris, Markdown or pandoc? Markdown is the markup format, pandoc is the tool. In this case we're talking about markdown qua source. In the WordPress case, pandoc of course is not needed: WP can either use md directly or (as I prefer) an editor such as MarkdownPad~2 will export the html for you, which you can then paste to WP. Replacing pandoc with ConTeXt to generate XHTML or ePub files has a downside. As far as I know, ConTeXt is much slower for this task. Absolutely, by far. But see below. With a sample from pandoc (http://pandoc.org/epub.html#a-real-book), it takes between 5 and 3 seconds on my computer (depending whether pandoc is loaded in memory or not). Sure, and as you know I've done an entire small book using pandoc (docx-md; then md-epub; md-context-pdf) With pandoc you have also more formats to write to. Yes, but the goal here is much narrower: to use ConTeXt as source. Perhaps if pandoc supported ConTeXt input I might have gone that route, but I don't see that happening anytime soon... For simple tasks the markdown/pandoc route is excellent. But as the typesetting needs become more advanced (e.g., bibliographies), markdown as source makes less and less sense. And pandoc export to epub has limitations, as you and I have discussed before. Yes, the ConTeXt route is slower, and the learning curve has been considerably longer than I anticipated. But the resulting workflow is *much* more flexible for serious academic typesetting and export tasks. Indeed, I plan topresent the results of this experiment (porting an entire academic article to xhtml and WP) in a future article for one of the TeX journals... I’m really interested in reading it.
