The first part does mostly what it should. The only problem is that

But the second part is still one column, but with empty lines between

Because your title is not a item at all --  its position is completely different

But  it's an opinion.

Yes; a problem arise if you must modify the margin and/or width a little.
You can use dimension eventually

\MyCheckBoxMargin=2em

\MyCheckBoxWidth=2.5em

[NTG-context] XeLaTeX logo

2010-09-07 Thread Mojca Miklavec
Dear Hans,

may I request the addition of XeLaTeX logo to ConTeXt core? I'm not
sure if there's an official version of it, but I would simply define
it the same way as XeTeX logo, only replacing
\kern-.15em \TeX}
with
\kern0em \LaTeX}
at the end of definition. (The original XeLaTeX logo definition is
extra-complicated, so I'm not sure how it's done. I suspect that they
use -0.125 kerning between mirrored E and L, but that makes the two
letters clash too much. It's in tex/latex/metalogo/metalogo.sty)

Thanks a lot,
Mojca

  Yes, they do, according to \tracingmacros, but

[NTG-context] Wanted: ConTeXt: The poster

2010-09-07 Thread Martin Schröder
Hi,
for use at a conference booth I'd like to have a poster (A3 up to A0)
describing (and of course promoting) ConTeXt. You may assume that the
audience already knows (La)TeX. :-)
The first use would be at OpenRheinRuhr in November.

Since most ConTeXt developers will be together next week, could you
please spend some time creating one?

A short (say 20 frames) PDF presentation on the same subject would
also be nice to have.

Best
   Martin

I wanted to do something like that, but did not know how. I put

It has been some work, but my feedback macros are beginning to become
useful. Thanks everyone.

By the way: what would be a good font to use. At the moment I use:
\setupbodyfont[roman, 12pt]
but layout and typography are not my strong points. So any tips are
appreciated.

A demo of what I have made can be found at:

Don't remove the LaTeX logo from the core, it's useful when you want to mention 
LaTeX in a document.

[NTG-context] Room for comment on the backside of form

2010-09-07 Thread Cecil Westerhof
I am still trying to make a useful environment for paper feedback
forms. One thing I am trying to do now, is to but lines on the back
for when someone needs more space to give the feedback. For this I
made the following macro:
\def\PageWithComment[#1]{
  \page
  #1
  \crlf\crlf
  \thinrules[n=35,inbetween=\vskip1.5ex]
  \page
}

There are several needed optimisations.
For starters the number of lines is hard coded. Is there a way to
calculate them?

At the moment it is always called with:
\PageWithComment[Room for extra comments]

What is the best way to set a default? Because most of the time it
will all the time be the same value.

With this setup the pagination has to be done completely manually. Not
very handy. Is there a way that when a new page is generated, the
comment page is inserted before the new page? And also after the last?

An example:
http://decebal.nl/ConTeXt/sources/feedback-form
and the pdf:
http://decebal.nl/ConTeXt/sources/feedback-form.pdf

[NTG-context] layer problem

2010-09-07 Thread Andrea Valle

Hi to all,

I'm using this code to insert a page from pdf into a layer:

\enableregime[utf8]
\mainlanguage[it]
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
%%% Colors %%%

%\definepapersize [flyer][width=99mm, height=210mm]
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\setuplayout [width=fit,
  rightmargin=0cm,
  leftmargin=0cm,
  leftmargindistance=0pt,
  rightmargindistance=0pt,
  height=fit,
  header=0cm,
  footer=0cm,
  topspace=0cm,
  backspace=0cm,
%  cutspace=1cm,
  bottomspace=0cm,
  location=singlesided]


\starttext
\definelayer[layer0]

\setlayer   [layer0]
[x=0,y=20cm]
{\rotate[90]{\externalfigure[prog.pdf][page=3]}}

\setupbackgrounds[page][page][background=layer0, state=repeat]

\strut
\stoptext


Now, the only problem is that the y=20 parameters doesn't affect the  
output. But I have a 20cm printed into the pdf.
It's exactly the structure I'm using for many other projects. Where it  
works fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot

 Now, the only problem is that the y=20 parameters doesn't affect the output. 
 But I have a 20cm printed into the pdf.
 It's exactly the structure I'm using for many other projects. Where it works 
 fine.
 Any ideas?

“x” expects a dimension, when you write “x=0pt” the 20cm do no longer appear in 
the output.

The number of lines are calculated with the normal line distance
and your extra space is not taken into account by the calculation.

Instead of changing the fontsize you can change the interlinespace
but for vertical distances you should use ex-values and not em-values.

Here is a variant which use the inbetween key and use the value
for the calculation of the lines:

\def\PageWithComment[#1]%
  {\page
   #1
   \blank[2*line]
   
\scratchcounter\dimexpr(\pagegoal-\pagetotal-2\lineheight)/(\dimexpr\lineheight+2.2ex\relax)\relax
   \thinrules[n=\number\scratchcounter,inbetween={\blank[2.2ex]}]
   \page}

[NTG-context] tikz fading graphic

Hi,

this is the first time I use tikz and maybe something is missing in my

Sadly I only get a opaque blue square. Example and log file attached.

I get the same error for both marks:

 Hi,
 for use at a conference booth I'd like to have a poster (A3 up to A0)
 describing (and of course promoting) ConTeXt. You may assume that the
 audience already knows (La)TeX. :-)
 The first use would be at OpenRheinRuhr in November.

 Since most ConTeXt developers will be together next week, could you
 please spend some time creating one?

 A short (say 20 frames) PDF presentation on the same subject would
 also be nice to have.

Second both of that. That would be great to have.

[NTG-context] Context to RTF :-/

2010-09-07 Thread Florian Baudach
Hi,
is there any practical solution to convert a context-document into a
rtf-document? (Unfortunately I must send my  documents to word users :-(  )

I do not need a perfect rtf file. It would be sufficient if the footnotes
and headings would be tranformed. (Layout / Tabells etc are not so
important)

I've read the FAQ and I know there is no tool like latex2rtf.  In 2005 (five
years ago) there was a approach to the problem on the mailing list, which
suggest to write the document in xml and the produce on pdf and one html
file. Is this a practical solution or is it, if you have absolute no idea
about xml like me, a to time consuming approach?

I've also tried some free pdftortf tools, but so far the results were
disillusioning :-(.

I am open for any suggestions ;-).

Greetings
FloMo

 Is this a practical solution or is it, if you have absolute no idea about xml
 like me, a to time consuming approach?
 
 I've also tried some free pdftortf tools, but so far the results were
 disillusioning :-(.  
 
 I am open for any suggestions ;-). 

You can try other starting formats like markdown instead of xml, but
AFAIK there is no reliable TeX to anything conversion tools, all are
hacks with different degrees of complexity. I'm not sure what is wrong
with just sending them PDFs, if the text is to be edited, than how RTF
will work bidirectionally?

Re: [NTG-context] Context to RTF :-/

Hi,
is there any practical solution to convert a context-document into a  
rtf-document? (Unfortunately I must send my  documents to word  
users :-(  )


I do not need a perfect rtf file. It would be sufficient if the  
footnotes and headings would be tranformed. (Layout / Tabells etc  
are not so important)


Acrobat (Pro) can save PDF contents as RTF (not good, but perhaps  
enough), maybe other PDF tools can, too?

Re: [NTG-context] Wanted: ConTeXt: The poster

Hi,
for use at a conference booth I'd like to have a poster (A3 up to A0)
describing (and of course promoting) ConTeXt. You may assume that the
audience already knows (La)TeX. :-)
The first use would be at OpenRheinRuhr in November.

Since most ConTeXt developers will be together next week, could you
please spend some time creating one?



I'm at least planning to compile a cheat-sheet over the meeting.
And I should renew my German tutorial... (Many ideas, not enough  
time...)

Re: [NTG-context] arrangement 3x1 doublesided

 Hi gurus,
 
 can anyone please suggest a way to arrange this pdf:
 
 http://www.fonurgia.unito.it/andrea/stuff/prog.pdf
 
 so that at the end I have two pages A4 landscape with pages 561 and 234?
 I'd like to print it on A4 double sided and fold it in 3 parts.
 Tried by myself but no way.
