[NTG-context] MathML to PDF

2005-08-30 Thread Elena Fraboschi
Dear All: I write this with my tail between my legs, because I am positive that, if I looked around in the archives etcetera, the information would be there. So, with apologies (no laziness here, just inordinate haste), could anyone drop me a URL or two that might answer the needs explained

Re: [NTG-context] \page[+2]

Thanks, Matthias and Hans, for the tip about \page[+2]. I have not yet studied a ConTeXt presentation (read, slides) macros, so it may well be that that use is very practical. (In any of the slides packages I know in LaTeX, it certainly would be.) As for Hans's suggestion, that it might be used

Re: [NTG-context] Adding webpage to the bibliography entries

2005-07-29 Thread Elena Fraboschi
In the context of bibligraphies, I have been looking at two topics that were the subject of presentations at one of the last TUG meetings, namely, Bibulus MLBibTeX Bibulus interests me because it creates bibliographies directly in XML. MLBibTeX interests me because of its extended encoding (it

Dear All: This is like going to school: every evening I study a very narrow topic in ConTeXt, the idea being Si va piano, si va lontano (go slow and you'll get far). So last night I was to study cross-references, and that was simple enough EXCEPT... I could not come up with a practical

Re: [NTG-context] Position margin text block near previous paragraph

2005-07-26 Thread Elena Fraboschi
Just a quick comment, since I cannot try anything in LiveContext right at this time: What you want is the equivalent of LaTeX's \marginpar , which is really a \vtop whose beginning coincides with the beginning of the paragraph being \note[d]. I am thinking that this would be a good test case for

Re: [NTG-context] \setuphead command

2005-07-25 Thread Elena Fraboschi
Dear All: I amhaving my own private warfare with the \setuphead command, and I wonder whether anyone can give me a hint. I have three problems, which I describe in detail below. They are: (1) how to setup run-in text after a subhead, (2) how to align the section, subsection, ... headers left

Dear all: I just conducted some follow up experiments on my previous questions, and found out that... (1) In re producing run-in text following a subsection header: neither [after={\blank[none]},] nor [after=\nowhitespace,] have any impact: I still get the subsection header on one line, and the

Hi nikolai, Many thanks for the hint in re right and left. (The next one to ask about this, I'll relieve you from the burden of having to answer and will answer it myself! :-)) So I now have only two questions left unsolved, which are (1) any ConTeXt command to gobble-up unwanted vertical space

Re: [NTG-context] Strange behaviour of \bTABLE ... \eTABLE

2005-07-25 Thread Elena Fraboschi
Dear Mojca: I think I see what the problem is. If, instead of typing \bTR\bTD a midaligned parbox: \eTD\bTD[offset=0pt,width=1em] % 1em wide paragraph 1 2 3 \eTD\eTR you type 1\ 2\ 3\ you get what is wanted, namely, 1 2 3 My guess is that there is a built-in bias not

Wonderful, nikolai, many thanks. I'll test tonight what you says happens automatically (gobbling up whitespace at the top of a new page). I'll use a grid to make sure that that's the case: to the naked eye, it seemed as though there was an awful amount of whitespace at the top of the page, but
