Re: [NTG-context] new upload / more math

[jdh via ntg-context]

Wrong.  The imperial measurement system, may give Europeans a headache, but is 
NOT obsolete, by any means.  A good chunk of the world use the imperial 
measurment system and may be required in certain books, depending on a 
country's standards.

Re: [NTG-context] font problems

[jdh via ntg-context]

Hans,
   thanks you for the solution to my font problem.  I appreciate it.

I'm trying to understand the definefont command you used and it seems that the 
arguments 'sa 1' in the macro is a size indication somewhat similar to 'at 
10pt' but uses a relative size parameter as opposed to the absolute pt value.   
That the numeric argument after 'sa'  is a multiple of the current font size. 

Thank you

[NTG-context] font problems

[jdh via ntg-context]

Here's my MWE:
   Objective is to typeset a Chancery font text in the upper lefthand side 
of a page, and
   then do the main body in some normal font.  Then at the very last print 
a sign off in
   Chancery.  For some reason I can't get both to print out as Chancery. 
Only one or the
   other, but not both.



\definefontfamily [mwetest] [sans] [Liberation Sans]
\setupbodyfont [mwe,ss,12pt]

\definelayer[mwe][repeat=yes, preset=lefttop, hoffset=.125in, voffset=.125in]
\setlayer[mwe]   {  \switchtobodyfont[chancery,8pt] \hskip 5mm Chancery Font 
Here  }
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=mwe]


\starttext

Normal font text goes here. \blank[4*big]

 { \switchtobodyfont[chancery] This should be Chancery here to.  But isn't. }

\blank[2*big]Note that if I comment out the \type{setlayer[mwe]} in the source 
file, then the above will print in Chancery.

\stoptext




I'd like to have the layers in Chancery font and then one last text string in 
the body in Chancery font.  But I can't get them both to be Chancery.  How can 
that be done?

Mojca,
   sorry I missed you query about the location of the image zip.

I used:
 
https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_arm64/images/raspios_arm64-2020-05-28/2020-05-27-raspios-buster-arm64.zip

But the lite version you mention below should use the same library.

[NTG-context] Third party modules in LMTX

[jdh]

I would like to use Wolfgang's t-letter module, but need some help.

I found the following instructions:

"The ConTeXt suite only comes with Taco's t-bib module. If you want to install 
a new module, say Wolfgang's t-letter module, you can use

 first-setup.sh --modules="t-letter"


BUT, the LMTX standalone does not have any "first-setup.sh"  shell script.

Is there another way to install the "t-letter" module for use with LMTX?


Any help is appreciated.

[NTG-context] Works and Doesn't Work

[jdh]

Here is my small sample ConTeXt sample:  I want to be able to control the blank 
gap between the end of an item and the next item.  It has to be fine tuned at 
times.  Any advice would be appreciated.


NOTE: Two cases with inbetween attempting use use two variations of the \blank  
command which
  causes 'context' run to hang.  The comment escape on them has to be 
removed to test them.


The rightmost column contains result comments.

Note that inbetween=\blank[.5mm]  and \blank[small] cause context to hang .
But, underbar'd command with a text string works as advertised.

[NTG-context] How to adjust inter item vertical space

[jdh]

I want to fit a page with an itemized group of items.
The normal vertical spacing is to large and the [packed] doesn't give enough 
seperation between
items.  I should think that there's a simple way to adjust this with 
\setupitemize  command or even with \startitemize.  Is there?

I did try  \setupitemize[inbetween=\whitespace[medium]] , but it didn't do much 
or seemed to be applied
to every line and not just between item and 'medium' doesn't give much 
information.  Is there some way to specify a measurement to seperate between 
items such as   .5cm  for example?

or
\hairline[color=red]

Doesn't work


this is a test \thinrule[color=red]

also doesn't catch the color
or does

this is a test \thinrule[color=red]



Can the hairline command be set to use a specific color and how?

Same for the  \thinrul  command

Re: [NTG-context] xtables: rowwise, columnwise, and cellwise opera

[jdh]

You're right, the manual says what you pasted.
I agree that it is logical and makes sense, but the actual program does not
do it.  My version is:  "mtx-context

I was using:  version: 2017.08.29 19:35
I updated to: version: 2018.01.05 19:26


Reality does not match the manual page you quated.
I recommend that you test before you send out manual pages which are not 
accurate with the actual processing. 

Regards

Re: [NTG-context] xtables: rowwise, columnwise, and cellwise opera

[jdh]

No it wont compile with two groups.  It takes the second as content.
It may be a version difference.  But it likewise would not work as is for me
with puting the key=value into the 1st bracket pair.

Version parsing difference?

Re: [NTG-context] Strange bug with overviewpage module.

[jdh]

I am using the standalone context ( $ mtxrun --version  gives me ==  
ConTeXt TDS Runner Tool 1.31 )


I want to try the overview module.  I copied the example given on the 
references html page, but context needs the module to parse it.


How do I install a module?  ( This one specifically if different from 
others in installation.)


Regards

Hi Aditya,

Now that you realize that your module works so well, I have two 
questions :—)

How can one tweak your module so that in a presentation:
1) each overviewpage is included at the end;
2) each oveviewpage is clickabel and linked to the corresponding 
page of the presentation.


If this is already implemented and if you have an example 
presentation, could you please share it?


That was the original idea of the module. See: 
http://randomdeterminism.wordpress.com/2014/01/01/announcing-the-overview-module/


I am thinking of adding the abilityto manually create overview pages 
as well.

[NTG-context] Adjusting topspace for letterhead in layer construct

[jdh]

mtx-context | current version: 2014.10.18 14:30

I only want about 3 to 5 mm between the physical top of the page and the 
top of the letterhead (in this example, a company's and contact 
information).


In \setlayer I set y=3mm


The pdf view of the output looks good, but an actual printout (and a 
look at a print preview with a pdf viewer)  of the generated pdf file 
puts the top of the letterhead about 17 mm down from the top edge.  This 
is too much.  I tried adjusting topspace and topdistance to 0 didn't 
seem to have any affect.

[NTG-context] layer letterhead and top down distance

[jdh]

I am using:   mtx-context | current version: 2014.10.18 14:30

I am typesetting a simple letterhead for correspondence.

The design calls for only about a 3 to 5 mm distance between the 
physical top of the page and the top of the typeset letterhead.



The pdf view of the output looks good, but an actual printout (and a 
look at a print preview with a pdf viewer)  of the generated pdf file 
puts the top of the letterhead about 17 mm (14mm over target size) down 
from the top edge.  This is too much.  I tried adjusting topspace and 
topdistance to 0 didn't seem to have any affect.



 In \setlayer I set y=3mm
 I tried adjusting  topspace  but it didn't do what I wanted and 
topdistance was already 0.

[NTG-context] Use of a layer for a letterhead

[jdh]

I have created a letterhead layer, which works well for the first page 
of a multi-page document.  I want it to be repeated for each page of a

How can that be done or does anyone have any pointers or tips on how I 
can do that?

[NTG-context] Font Sizing in Layers

I wanted to change character sizes in a letter head but the \tfa...

Here is a minimum example   See how the letter head does not give larger 
fonts as requested with the \tfc{}  command.  See the difference

[NTG-context] about layers

I am working on making a letter head which will have two separate main

address (probably created with tabulate, but I don't know yet.


I wanted to ask what other people have done when using similar methods?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated..
