Chessboards with figures (actually,
chess studies sets).
the easiest way is to use a font for diagrams. Just copy and paste it
into your text editor (you will get a 8×8 matrix plus maybe chars for
rules and numbers around).
This description should be enclosed by a user command, e.g.
\dia{matrix}, which turns off interlineskip (in plain
\offinterlineskip). This should be enough for a quick and dirty
solution. High quality typesetting or generating diagrams out of
databases like chessbase or parsing of FEN strings is much more
difficult. You can take a look at LaTeX package chessboard or skak how
they do it ...

[NTG-context] Some layout questions
Hi,
I'm trying to setup context for a book layout but I'm still failing with
some basics (hopefully) ...
\definepapersize[Lasker][width=21cm,height=28cm]
\setuppapersize[Lasker][A4]
\setuplayout[width=172.5mm,lines=53,leftmargin=0mm,rightmargin=0mm,header=12
pt,headerdistance=12pt,footer=12pt,footerdistance=12pt,topspace=20mm,backspa
ce=15mm,grid=yes]
\setupinterlinespace[line=12pt]
\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=header]
\setupindenting[12pt]
Is this o.k. so far?
\setupfootnotes[location=lastcolumn,rule=off,numbercommand=\myfootnotenumber
]
\def\myfootnotenumber#1{#1. }
\setupfootnotedefinition[location=normal]
This does not work as expected. I want footnotes in the last column of a two
column format at the *bottom*. Both standard twocolumn (via
\startcolumns[n=2]) format fails and also column sets: if I use column sets
(defined with \definecolumnset[example][n=2,balance=yes]) footnotes are in
the left *and* right column or only in the left. If I use \startcolumns[n=2]
footnotes are placed correctly in the right column but not at the bottom of
the page and not aligned on grid.
???
After defining a typescript (see comlete example attached) I want to use
protrusion and expansion (I've followed the description in
co-typography.pdf):
\definetypeface[kievit][rm][sans][kievit][default][features=hz]
\definetypeface[kievit][ss][sans][kievit][default][features=hz]
\definetypeface[kievit][tt][mono][modern][default][rscale=1.12]
\definetypeface[kievit][mm][math][iwona] [default][rscale=1.02]
\usetypescript[kievit]
\setupbodyfont[kievit,ss,10pt]
\definefontfeature[default][default]
[protrusion=pure,expansion=quality,mode=node,script=latn]
\setupalign[hanging]
But it doesn't work at all. While with standard two column format line
breaking is like without hz features at all; with columnsets line breaking
is getting even worse. Any idea?
Another question: How can define the amount of indentation and before and
after space of quotations (\setupquotation but how)? Quotation should be set
9/10.5pt. And body text should align on grid before and after a quotation.
How can I define \setupheader so that I got the following:
On a chapter page no header but folio centered in footer, on the following
pages folios on left side if even page and on right side if odd page inside
header. Right part on even pages with Part n\quad Chapter m while text of
\chapter in left side of odd pages.
+---+ +-+
|8 Part I Chapter 3| |Netherlands 9|
...
Sometimes I have to change this to:
+---+ +-+
|11 Part I Chapter 3 Netherlands| |Subsection Euwe-Lasker 12|
...
If a subsection is present.
Best regards,
Ulrich

Re: [NTG-context] Footnotes
Hi Aditya, Thank you very much for your explanations. Where in the documentation did you find 'serried'? I think my biggest problem is that I don't know which values are possible options and what's the meaning (this should be in the docs I think). Best regards, Ulrich On 2008-07-21 Aditya Mahajan wrote: On Mon, 21 Jul 2008, Ulrich Dirr wrote: O.k. I could look in the source too, but where did you read 'location=normal'? That is just from knowing how the footnotes work. In ConTeXt footnotes consist of two this, a number and the note definition. The note definition is defined as a description, location=normal is an option for descriptions. Also I don't know what other option are allowed, e.g., in \numbercommand or \split. Only the default values are here as I understand. numbercommand can be any predefined (or one that you define on your own) ConTeXt macro. By default, it is \inleft, and hence you see the footnotes in the margin. I do not know what split does, but just by seeing that by default it is defined to be tolerant, the other options should be verystrict, strict, tolerant, verytolerant, and they should control how the splitting of columns work. This is the good thing about ConTeXt; key value options are extremently consistent, once you know what values a particular key takes for one environment, you can guess what it will do for others (well, I could be wrong in case of footnotes, but ...)

I guess German is famous for its monstrous compound words ;o(
So I have a manually collected lists of hyphenation patterns (like
\hyphenation{Selbst-kon-troll-ein-rich-tung}).
This I'd like to keep as a two separate files: on for usage with
the body-text set in \mainlanguage[deo] and one for
\mainlanguage[de].
Is there a handy way to automatically assign and include one of
these files (HyPold and HyPnew) to the usage of the respective
\mainlanguage [deo] and [de] ?
you can copy them to lang-de.hyp
this looks like a clean way (assigns automatically with the chosen
\mainlanguage).
by default lang-de.hyp is empty ... does this indicate that it is
actually meant for user entries?
no, it means that the german patterns are perfect -)

Will luatex go the standard TeX hyphenation way or will you try to do it
better? Especially for german the hyphenation based on those patterns
does not work very well (btw the same is true for british english). My
dream would be to see a solution where we have main/prefered break
points and optional break points (of course we will never find a
solution for everything, like semantically different words but with same
orthography) ...
btw another question: will luatex interpret ligature rules which are
language specific? At least from otf fonts?

I'm really wondering why there's no kerning.

[NTG-context] Float question
Hi,
I've defined a new float with
\setupfloats[background=screen,spacebefore=none,spaceafter=none,indentnext=
no]
\definefloat [diagram] [diagrams]
In general they are nicely placed, and grid typesetting is maintained.
Sometimes 'indentnext=no' doesn't work. Why?
When typesetting with columnsets
\chapter{Versuch über die Krankheiten des Kopfes}
\startcolumnset[two]
float
[...]
the space above isn't removed but it works when the float is moved to a new
page when there's not enough room left. Do I have to manually put a
negative space here? (I suspect that even the spacebefore and spaceafter
didn't work)

[NTG-context] Setting up a typeface
Hi, I've now studied the docs for a while and experimenting with a bunch of settings but I'm still failing setting up typefaces correctly in ConTeXt. Probably the font mechanism in ConTeXt is much more elaborate than with LaTeX's NFSS. But I'm too stupid to understand it :-( Could someone please help me? My test case -- and it will be the sans serif part of my wish list -- should setup the Linotype HelveticaNeue as body font. The main part is not very difficult to achieve. The test file: - \setupoutput [pdftex] \input pdftexconfig \usetypescriptfile [type-NeueHelvetica] \usetypescript[HelveticaNeue][ec] \setupbodyfont[HelveticaNeueLT,ss,10pt] \starttext \showbodyfontenvironment[HelveticaNeueLT] \showbodyfont[HelveticaNeueLT] \stoptext - type-NeueHelvetica.tex: - \starttypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [name] \definefontsynonym [Sans] [HelveticaNeueLT-Roman] \definefontsynonym [SansItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SansBold] [HelveticaNeueLT-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic] [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldItalic] [...] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [ec] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Roman] [lhnr8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Italic] [lhnri8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-Bold] [lhnb8t] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [HelveticaNeueLT-BoldItalic] [lhnbi8t] [encoding=ec] [...] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [HelveticaNeue][ec] \usetypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [name] \usetypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [size] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [HelveticaNeue] [ec] \definetypeface [HelveticaNeueLT] [ss] [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [default] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript - The next step should define destinct sizes for use in a project. And here I'm always failing. I've tried, e.g., \definebodyfontenvironment [9bp] [ text=9bp, script=7bp, scriptscript=5bp, x=7bp, xx=5bp, big=11bp, small=7bp, interlinespace=11bp] or, e.g., \starttypescript [sans] [HelveticaNeue] [size] \definebodyfont [10bp] [ss] [tf=Sans at 10bp, bf=SansBold, it=SansItalic, sl=SansItalic, bi=SansBoldItalic, bs=SansBoldItalic] \stoptypescript in all sizes I want, with and without definitions of \definebodyfont, but never got what I want. How can I setup my typeface (regular, bold, etc.) to use the specific sizes 5,6,7,8,9.5,10,12,14,18,24,28 *bp*??? (And with correct dependencies) I'm definitely not understanding how the general scheme works. And all examples I've found always use the standard font sizes and the standard measurement units. Please help me!

I experience the same, but I have no idea why the struts are necessary
around \quotation and \quote. When the user needs them he should
insert them hiself. Especially if it is not documented (is it?).
And will it harm any kerning pairs that are in the tfms, e.g., 'W'?

Thanks, I'm recently trying to setup ConTeXt for typesetting the books. I'm hoping

Yes, I know. Of course this is an improvement. But I've already set it up
-- so why not use it?
Nevertheless it seems to me that there're several problems still. I'm using
now:
This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.20a-rc7.2-2.2
ConTeXt ver: 2004.8.15 fmt: 2004.9.12 int: english mes: english
Sometimes the hyphen is not protruded at all. BTW where do I define in
ConTeXt my font specific microtypographic values? In LaTeX I wrote
\input{protcode-helvetica}
\input{efcode-helvetica}
\pdfprotrudechars=2
\pdfadjustspacing=2
\def\setupfont{\setprotcode\font}
\def\setupEFfont{
\setprotcode\font
\resetefcode\font
\pdffontexpand\font 20 20 5}
...
If ConTeXt is using the new german spelling hyphenation rules then:
*108* If ss stands for , then it will be hyphenated s-s. E.g., Grs-se
(instead of Gr-e), heis-sen (instead of hei-en).
*109* The connection of consonants ch, ck, and sch, and also in foreign
words with ph, rh, sh, and th will not be hyphenated in between if they
stands for a single sound. E.g., B-cher, Zu-cker, ba-cken, Fla-sche,
Ma-che-te, Pro-phet, Myr-rhe, Ca-shew-nuss, ka-tho-lisch.
so .. what are the proposed changes to the german language specifics in
enco-fde.tex?
Mmh, I'm that familiar with ConTeXt ;-) Hopefully the patterns will do
most.
But of course
\installcompoundcharacter ck {\discretionary {k-}{k}{ck}}
should be changed to
\installcompoundcharacter ck {\discretionary {-}{ck}{ck}}
((ck should always stay as it is; maybe one even don't need this def
anymore))

can
assist me?
o How do I get the chapter number into the heading? I've tried
\setupheader[before=\viii,style=normal]
\setupheadertexts[chapter]
but this only puts the chapter title into the heading
\setupheadertexts[chapter][chapternumber]
of
\setupheadertexts[{\getmarking[chapternumber] --
\getmarking[chapter]}]
etc etc
o How can I get something similar to LaTeX?
\fancyhead[C]{%
{\sffamily\footnotesize
\leftmark
\pdef\next{\rightmark}%
\ifx\next\empty\else\ \textbullet\ \rightmark\fi}%}
which will put the chapter mark centered in the headings, and if there
is a sectionmark then a bullet sectionmark too.
something like: (setups are just a convenience)
\setupheadertexts [\setups{something}]
\startsetups something
\getmarking[chapter]
\doiftext{\getmarking[section]}{\enspace\symbol[1]\enspace}
\getmarking[section]
\stopsetups
That's great. Can I combine this setup with another one for left even
right odd numbered pages? E.g.,
((PAGE 2))
King 1 The King
((PAGE 3))
1 The King Queen
So that I can combine, say \setupheadertexts[][\KHead Queen][\KHead King][]
-- which actually are just two different ornaments -- with your definition
above for 'something'?
o How can I typeset the chapter title across both columns in a
two-column
setup?
hm
\chapter{xxx}
\startcolumns ... \stopcolumns
\chapter{yyy}
etc
Sorry I got confused; I was too much influenced by the LaTeX multicol
package where I have to say \begin{multicols}{2}[Spanning title] ...
o Is it possible to setup a project using only didot (or bp) point
measurements? How? Especially I want a interline space in dd or bp
which
is flexible like \setupinterlinespace[line=1.25\bodyfontsize] but uses
dd or bp.
\starttext
\input ward
\setupinterlinespace[line=4.25\dimexpr(\bodyfontfactor dd)]

|all right |there| we go|

dunny, can you make a small test file (so that other german users can
test
along?)

the latter in the manual)

so, associate a handling (see hand-* files) with a font (before it's
used! else pdftex does ignore it)
but ... be prepared ... context is set up for the latest pdftex and
there are some bugs in hz an desp when used with protruding (thanh is
working on them and the previous code is used for testing)
you need a recent context in order to get the auto expansion done
This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.20a-rc4-2.1

standalone version of fptex of Sept
