Re: [NTG-context] Vertically Aligning inmargin Text to Figure
Wolfgang,
Thank you for this. I can see what you are trying to do here, but this does not
actually compile for me. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the
implementation of ConTeXt to track the problem down. I am getting:

I am hesitant to update as I have a lot of co-workers using the same version
and our configuration management processes dictate that we always update
together.
Could you please help me out.
Thank you,
Malte.

Hi,
I need to associate a bit of text with a figure in a book. The text is
not---and cannot be---the figure caption (it's providing some explanation
with respect to some labels in the figure). I have tried the following based
on some other post on the mailing list:
\definepapersize[eightsquare][width=8in, height=8in]
\setuppapersize[eightsquare]
\setuplayout[
location=doublesided, marking=on, backspace=43mm, leftmargin=18mm,
leftmargindistance=4mm, rightmargin=35mm, rightmargindistance=4mm,
rightedgewidth=6mm,
topspace=12mm, header=15mm, footer=15mm, height=179mm, width=115mm
]
\starttext
\startplacefigure[location=force, title={First dummy caption}]
\inmargin{First margin dummy}
\externalfigure[dummy][width=115mm]
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext
However, that results in the text being down the bottom of the figure. I
need the text to be vertically aligned with the top of the figure. I have
attached the resulting PDF for illustration purposes (is that okay on this
mailing list? It's very small).
Any hints would be much appreciated.
You can set the text in the margin with the second argument of
\startplacefigure.
\define\FigureText
{\dowithnextbox
{\startlinealignment[middle]
\copy\nextbox\rlap{\hskip\rightmargindistance\framed[frame=off,width=\rightmarginwidth,height=\nextboxht]{\floatuserdataparameter{text}}}
\stoplinealignment}
\hbox}
\setupfloat[figure][command=\FigureText]
\starttext
\startplacefigure[title=Dummy figure][text=Margin dummy]
\externalfigure[dummy][width=.8\textwidth]
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Installing Scribuntu, for Lua on the wiki

Hi Taco,
I'd like to propose thse three extensions for the wiki:
No problem for any of them, but you will have to wait a bit. I am too stressed

Best wishes,
Taco
* Scribunto [1], which allows writing wikicode extensions in Lua. I
ran into a limitation of the template expansion system the other day.
Also, this may come in useful for the command reference. [2]
[1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto
[2] http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg68550.html
* BacktickCode, which allows writing `...` instead of code.../code
— rather pleasant when writing about commands. The code needs a slight
modification so as to ignore backticks inside texcode and context
tags, too; see bottom of this e-mail.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BacktickCode
* Semantic Forms (which requirs Semantic Mediawiki), which allows
presenting people with a form when creating certain types of pages.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms
How does that sound to you?
Thank you very much,
Sietse
Here's the modification to BacktickCode:
function backtickCodeParse( $parser, $text, $stripState ) {
// We replace '`...`' by 'code.../code' and '\`' by '`'.
// Text between pre tags is not modified.
$text = preg_replace_callback('/pre(.*?)\/pre/s', function
($match) {
return 'pre' . preg_replace('/`/', '\`', $match[1]) . '/pre';
}, $text);
+$text = preg_replace_callback('/texcode(.*?)\/texcode/s',
function ($match) {
+return 'texcode' . preg_replace('/`/', '\`', $match[1])
. '/texcode';
+}, $text);
+$text = preg_replace_callback('/context(.*?)\/context/s',
function ($match) {
+return 'context' . preg_replace('/`/', '\`', $match[1])
. '/context';
+}, $text);
$text = preg_replace('/([^]|^)`([^`]*)`/',
'$1code$2/code', $text);
$text = preg_replace('/\`/', '`', $text);
return true;

you can do a fresh install alongside an existing one and then run some
tests

[NTG-context] Understanding the imposing-mechanism
Hi there, following Wolfgangs suggestion, I set every game-card on a single page now. All cards are in one pdf-File, each on his own page. Every page has the size 47,5mm x 76mm. Now I tried to place the pages on a big sheet, its size is 660mm x 330mm, s.th. the small cards are set in a 4*13 sceme (floor(330/76)=4 and floor(660/47,5) = 13) - but I failed. There is an example in the wiki for imposing existing pdf-pages, but I do not understand it, and if I try to change its values for my example, I get nothing reasonable, nor even understandable. The example of the wiki is here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Imposition And here my failed try: \definepapersize[sheet][width=660mm,height=330mm] \definepapersize[bigsheet][width=\dimexpr\paperwidth+4mm\relax,height=\dimexpr\paperheight+4mm\relax] \setuppaper[sheet][bigsheet] \setuppaper[nx=13, ny=4] \setuplayout[page][location=middle, marking=on] \setuparranging [XY] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setuppagenumbering[] \starttext \insertpages [eslami_karten.pdf][] \stoptext Thanks for help.

You can replace \startlinealignment … \stoplinealignment with \midaligned:
\define\FigureText
{\dowithnextbox
{\scratchdimen\nextboxht
\midaligned\bgroup
\flushnextbox\rlap{\hskip\rightmargindistance\framed[frame=off,width=\rightmarginwidth,height=\scratchdimen]{\floatuserdataparameter{text}}}
\egroup}
