[NTG-context] Footnotes
Hi,
Just in case some one is interested in detailed footnote problems:
In the last time I was fiddling a lot on the problem of setting up footnotes - the
task was to have different defined font and interlinespace sizes for text as well as
for footnotes.
The first solution that I constructed with commands and keywords from the manual (and
etexshow) seemed to give the desired result:
\setupbodyfont[10pt]
\setupinterlinespace[line=15pt]
\definefont [FNfont][Serif at 8pt]
\def\FNstyle{\FNfont\setupinterlinespace[line=15pt]}
\setupfootnotes[numbercommand=]
\setupfootnotedefinition[style=\FNstyle]
\starttext
\input tufte \footnote{\input knuth }
\input tufte \footnote{\input knuth }
\stoptext
But it just worked OK for *normal* sizes.
When set to extreme values it begun to show strange phenomena (see the distances over
and under each first line of a footnote):
\setupbodyfont[4pt]
\setupinterlinespace[line=45pt]
\definefont [FNfont][Serif at 4.5pt]
\def\FNstyle{\FNfont\setupinterlinespace[line=12pt]}
\setupfootnotes[numbercommand=]
\setupfootnotedefinition[style=\FNstyle]
\starttext
\input tufte \footnote{\input knuth }
\input tufte \footnote{\input knuth }
\stoptext
After re-combining the different option and command for setupfootnotes and
setupfootnotedefinition without improvement, I started to search through the source
files and found the very interesting command \setfootnotebodyfont.
With this command a setup can be written that works, finally:
\setupbodyfont[4pt]
\setupinterlinespace[line=45pt]
\definefont [FNfont][Serif at 4.5pt]
\def\setfootnotebodyfont{\FNfont\setupinterlinespace[line=12pt]}
\setupfootnotes[numbercommand=]
\setupfootnotedefinition[style=\FNfont]
\starttext
\input tufte \footnote{\input knuth }
\input tufte \footnote{\input knuth }
\stoptext
Maybe this helps someone.
Steffen
P.S. If there is still need for improvement, please correct.

[NTG-context] Again: (can be better done global) ???
Sorry,
maybe the last mail was a bit confusing. So I make another try - hopefully clearer:
The problem was when defining an unusual size for my footnotes
> \setupfootnotes[bodyfont=8.5pt, ... ]
I get an amazing amount of messages
> bodyfont: bodyfont XXpt is defined (can be better done global)
with XX being various sizes. Which makes processing real slow...
So the original question is:
What is meant by "global defining"?
Where should I write a "global" definition and how does it look like?
On this, Hans gave me the advice:
> \setupbodyfont [...] : global settings, document level, main text as well as
> headers footers etc
> \switchtobodyfont[...] : local, inside a box or in page stream, but no headers etc
I was not sure how to use this for footnotes, so I asked:
> Well, yes - I use setupbodyfont for defining the main text
> \setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.5pt]
> But what would be the syntax when I want to define the main text's *and* the
> footnote's font with setupbodyfont??
> It's not \setupbodyfont[AGaramondOldStyle,10.5pt,8.8pt] ?
And then Hans wrote:
> \setupfootnotes[bodyfont=8.8pt] % or [bodyfont={whatever,you,want,10pt}]
But this is the initial problem (see top here). The circle is closed...
Does this mean there is actually no answer to my problem?
Thank you for assistance,
Steffen

Tk.pm is a perl module. It was missing on SGI Irix too. Perl has a tools to automate the installation of modules, but you may need some libraries as well (Tk/Tcl, compression, etc.) which can either be installed under Perl or for use with other applications. You will need the developer tools if you build the module from sources. -- George N.

Sorry, but do you also have an explanation or example how to use "texshow" Should I spray the word "texshow" on the wall? maybe ... is texshow in \texmf(-local)\context\perltk ? it's a perl/tk script so you need to have both perl and tk installed the program is quite self explanatory: it shows the context commands and keys and so Hans ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
