Re: [NTG-context] Page breaks with \defineparagraphs possible?
Hi Wolfgang,
\definetabulate[bilingual][|pA{normal,verytolerant,stretch}|pA{normal,verytolerant,stretch}|]
One more on this actually: how can I influence the white space between
the columns? I tried to set distance, but that didn't do anything.
Setting p(4cm) or so, made the paragraphs smaller, but did not impact
the white space between the columns.

Re: [NTG-context] Page breaks with \defineparagraphs possible?
Hi Wolfgang,
You can use the tabulate environment to create parallel paragraphs.
Just one thing for others, this solution as the same problem as
paragraphs: \placeinitial won't work.
I.e. this:
\setupinitial[text=#1]\placeinitial
inside the tabulate or paragraphs doesn't work (but here I simply use
a \hbox{\vbox{}\hfil\vbox{}} solution which works well enough I think,
as I only need this for the opening paragraph.

Ah yes, that's working! Thank you so much!
One question on the pA{normal,verytolerant,stretch}: what does that do exactly?
From the manual I got that A only takes one key, what does specifying three
keys mean?

Re: [NTG-context] knuth
Hi Hans, Probably some on this list already checked how well chatgpt answers questions about domains one knows well and then probably noted that in spite of impressive wording, one can run into quite incorrect answers. I've been using it for ConTeXt, and to be honest, it works amazingly well. It hallucinates sometimes, but it's such a time saver. -- All the best, Berend de Boer ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Page breaks with \defineparagraphs possible?
Dear all,
I've noticed that \defineparagraphs does not break across pages. That
would be a huge page saver in my case. Do I have any options for page
breaking across a set of parallel paragraphs?
Initially I just had a \hbox{\vtop{#1}\hfil\vtop{#2}} but obviously
that doesn't break, so went for more ConTeXt style, but couldn't see a
good mechanism.
Example file where you can see the entire paragraphs thing is put on the next
page.
==
\setuppapersize[A5]
\defineparagraphs[bilingual][n=2,tolerance=stretch,before=,after=,distance=\0.06\textwidth]
\setupparagraphs[bilingual][1][width=0.47\textwidth]
\setupparagraphs[bilingual][2][width=0.47\textwidth]
\starttext
\input tufte
\startbilingual
\input tufte
\nextbilingual
\input knuth
\stopbilingual
\stoptext

[NTG-context] \doifelseoddpage not working as expected
Dear all,
I need something like \doifelseoddpage, but this does not work as
expected. See below example. You will notice that on page two you
still get the ODD text, with page number 1.
What's going on? Is there a proper way to detect what page I'm on?
Example:
\starttext
\dorecurse{70}{\doifelseoddpage{ODD \currentpage\par}{EVEN \currentpage\par}}
\stoptext
