I'm trying to typeset some program listings with annotations alongside. I've tried both columns and tabulate but both have (different) issues:
1) Plain \typefile won't allow the line numbers to be in the text - they stay
in the margin whch I don't want.
2) \typefile using a \definedtyping name does work and works in \columns as
well. This is great until my listing is too long to fit on a page and then I'd
rather have the column continue onto the next page but \columns balances of
course.
3) \tabulate allows a single cell to continue down over the page exactly as I'd
like, but the line numbers disappear altogether. (And it has to be a single
cell because the program listings are in source files that I want to include
using \typefile rather than re-enter to avoid typos.)
You can see each of these effects with the following MWE which first needs a
file called "three_lines.txt" to be created in the local directory containing
the lines:
one
two
three
%%%% begin
\setuplinenumbering[location=text,style=\small\tt]
\starttext
Location=text not working in main body
\typefile[numbering=line]{three_lines.txt}
But it does work if a custom typing environment is created.
\definetyping[MyTyping][style=\tt]
\typefile[MyTyping][numbering=line]{three_lines.txt}
Still works if used in a column
\startcolumns
\typefile[MyTyping][numbering=line]{three_lines.txt}
\column
:-)
\stopcolumns
\blank
But doesn't work if used in tabulate
\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\NC
\typefile[MyTyping][numbering=line]{three_lines.txt}
\NC
No line numbers at all :-(
\NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext
%%%% end
What I'd most like is for tabulate to allow \typefile with line numbers if at
all possible.
