 you can get rid of that one (or put \endinput at the first line)

 the beta/next release has more in there (things needed for cow-math and so)

Can you give a pointer on cow-math is?

See if margintext suits you better.

This moves the text into the next paragraph.

when using framed texts you run into problems with flushing, struts and the

\margintext{some text in margin}

\placeformula  \startformula  a+b=c \stopformula

use a Correction macro that can be nilled (since some day we may have more 
control over math spacing and can fix the problem) 

Here is a nice alternative: 

\starttext

\margintext {some text in margin}

\setupframedtexts[background={YourTrick,MyTrick}]

\definelayer[MyTrick]

\startsetups MyTrick
  \setlayer[MyTrick]{\placemargintexts}

The whole point of texmfstart is that Hans tries to hide kpsewhich

Re: [NTG-context] Losing our hang

 All, why do we lose our hang in the second question?

The hanging is a paragraph characteristic: the first line does
not indent, all others do. So, it would not work as desired even
if it did behave as advertised.

Anwyay, just remove the hang=100 line. The output of that
looks fine to me.

Here's what I've got so far in ConTeXt (and it gets me close):

\setupheads[sectionnumber=no]
\setuphead[chapter][textcommand=\inmargin,style=\tfa,before=\nowhitespace,after=\nowhitespace]
\setuphead[section][textcommand=\inmargin,style=\tfa,before=\nowhitespace,after=\nowhitespace]
\setuphead[subsection][textcommand=\inmargin,style=\scx,before=\nowhitespace,after=\nowhitespace]

This places the chapter/section/subsection titles in the margin alright,
but it is still above the text it refers to. How do I get it alongside?
 
 
 The head is always at least one line high, even if it is in the margin. 
 Something as simple as this may be sufficient for you needs:
 
\setuphead
  [section]
  [textcommand=\inmargin,
   style=\tfa,
   before=\nowhitespace,
   after={\kern -12pt}]
 
 Good luck, Taco

[NTG-context] How ConTeXt manages section's label at the bottom of a page ?

2006-07-11 Thread Renaud AUBIN





Hi all,

Considering this piece of code:
\section{A title of section}
Here we have some texts

resulting to the following theoretical situation before correction:
at the bottom of the page 1: A title of section
at the top of the page 2: Here we have some texts

Is ConTeXt smart enough to apply this kind of correction during
processing:
page 1: whatever before \section call
page 2:
A title of section
Here we have some
texts

Apparently, Taco told me on #context that this is the case... But in
fact, I have this kind on problem with a \subsubsection call.
If it is implemented, can we fine-tune the behaviour of the correction.
For example, Considering a section label followed by only two lines of
text, can we push this label+text to the newt page ?

Cheers,

Renaud

Re: [NTG-context] Question and Answer Blocks -- Feed back in one or two column mode.

2006-07-11 Thread David Arnold
Well, Here is the reason. We have question blocks, longanswer blocks,  
and shortanswer blocks. We are typesetiing all in 2-column mode.  
However, every now and then, one of the longanswer blocks is too  
difficult to typeset in two column mode and we'd like to switch over  
to 1-column mode. So, if we to texmfstart texexec --mode=long  
filename, with source somewhat like the following, some of our long  
answers, say exercises 25-30, really need to be set in one-column  
mode. We are looking for ideas.

% Exercise #1
\beginquestion
\startquestion
\stopquestion
\endquestion

\beginlonganswer
\startanswer
\stopanswer
\endlonganswer

\beginshortanswer

Re: [NTG-context] sample={99}

 Was I surprised to find that my numbering went to multiples of 2 when

Hello,
it's always a nice exercise to create a minimal example, that shows the
problem:

\defineenumeration[question][width=fit,sample=9]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\startquestion bla\stopquestion}

So it's perhaps just ConTeXt's way to say, that width=fit and sample=...
are contradictory.
But anyway: it seems that the sample option is completely broken, or I don't
understand it's meaning.

[NTG-context] A page for figures ?

Hi all,

I would reserve a page for several figure (i.e. \placefigure).
\placefigure[page] reserve ONE page for ONE figure...
Can \placefigure reserve a page for several figures with an option I
don't know yet ???

Since I assume \placefigure can do that for me, I don't want to use
\placefigure[page]{none}{\startcombination...\stopcombination}... ;)

Re: [NTG-context] positionoverlays problem

2006-07-11 Thread Hans van der Meer
I more or less guess there are only a restricted number of overlays  
possible? Could that be a correct conclusion?
The elegant way would have been being able to define separate  
positionoverlays for each picture, imho. However I found a practical  
solution in defining all items centrally within one positionoverlay.  
Up till now it has not failed, so I can live with that, but I cross  
my fingers it will still hold for a few hundred positional graphics.

 If I do not typeset the second overlayseries, the first does appear.
 It looks like only the last overlayseries is kept.
 Why is this and how to remedy this?

 I would like to help but I almost never use this stuff myself and
 your example code doesn't compile. Is it because both are on the same
 page? You effectively redefine the current page background in
 each \stopoverlaygraphics command.
