Hello, I have a basic problem on laoding vector drawings. The photograph loads all right, the cat-drawing doensn't show up. Perhaps this is due to the fact that pdftex doesn't handle eps? If this is true, you can convert eps files to pdf with epstopdf, that ships with texlive. Patrick

Re: [NTG-context] old textbook style

2007-07-22 Thread Patrick Gundlach
Hi, I've always liked the style of old textbooks, where important terms were emphasized not by bold or italic, but extra spacing between letters. How to achieve this in ConTeXt? See the manual and search for '\streched'. But you should know what you are doing. Letter spacing should only be

Hi again, there is also \stretchednormalcase{}, \stretcheduppercase{} and \stretchedlowercase{}. You can change the default stretch with \def\stretchedspacefactor{4} and \def\stretchedspaceamount{.25em} (these are the defaults). See

Re: [NTG-context] \setupheader: leftstyle rightstyle

2007-07-22 Thread Patrick Gundlach
Hello Matt, \setupheader[leftstyle=\sc,rightstyle=\it] I think the reference is wrong here, I couldn't find 'leftstyle' and 'rightstyle' in the source. And \setupheader is AFAIU for the section title. You can use \setupheadertexts. See the example:

Hello Steffen, you should provide examples how you do things, otherwise we'd have to guess. First, some of my URLs within footnotes are wider as the textwidth. Is there a way to force a line break other than defining break points for each of it? Maybe even with a nice symbol identicating

[NTG-context] itemize question

2007-07-11 Thread Patrick Gundlach
Hi, I am slightly confused with the second part of the following example. IMO only the 1st level should be packed, not the second. Patrick -- \starttext \setupitemize[2][packed] \startitemize [n] \item eins \item zwei \startitemize \item dies

Hi Aditya, \starttext \setupitemize[2][packed] [...] \setupitemize[1][packed] so in this example both are packed :) Right after sending my mail I realized that this could be used against me :) Right now packedlistitem is for the entire itemgroup rather than for each level. So, only

It would be neat if the texfont program, which generates so much else, could generate and install a typescript. For otfs you can use otfinstall. Search the wiki for it. Thanks for the heads up. Now why OTF and not type 1? There are still many more type 1 fonts out there compared to OTF

Re: [NTG-context] typescript / variants question

I use oldstyle digits with a typescript using variants such as \Var[osf] to get oldstyle digits. How do I get _all_ digits, including the page number in oldstyle? \setuppagenumbering[style={\Var[osf]}] would be a solution, but it looks more like a hack - I'd like to have a complete setup.
