Could you provide a HTML interface also?
i will do that once i have made an xml alternative of the underlying styles

also, i will use this demo to show apple that some pdf work is is needed on the mac -)

[NTG-context] How to read syntax descriptions

2004-07-14 Thread Salman Khilji
In the beginner's manual, we have for \startitemize the following:

\startitemize[..,..,..][..,..=..,..] ... \stopitemize

I was wondering how do you read this in english?  Based on the examples, am I 
correct to say the following?

1)  The \startitemize is optionally followed by a comma separated list of 
parameters enclosed in brackets.

2) Then a set of key-value pairs enclosed in brackets follows.  Again this is 
optional.

If this is correct, then what about \setupitemize?.  It says

\setupitemize[.1.][..,.2.,..][..,..=..,..]

So again let me guess

.1. stands for a number
The third set could be key-value pairs

What about the set in the middle?

Can we have an explanation for these please.

Salman

[NTG-context] Beginner problem with Itemize

I am trying to run the following example from the beginner's guide:

  When a child is born
\head nabuurschap (naberschop) \hfill (neighbourship)
  Smaller communities.
\stopitemize
\stoptext



I get the following error:

So basically I want to typeset first some text in the leftmost

Is there an easy way to do this using column(set)s?
 

maybe tabulations are more convenient: 
   

thanks, this works exactly as I intended it.
But now I got yet another problem: I want to show that things have
changed in the original document by \overstrike-ing (or \overstrikes-ing)
them. Unluckily there seems to be no hyphenation once I do this. This
is especially ugly with the columns. Is there a way to turn hyphenation
on within \overstrikes?
 

no, the problem is that i kind of fake under/overlines and hyphenation would spoil that game. 

The good news is that you can do: 

\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\definetextbackground[underline][location=text,alternative=1,background=,frame=off]
\definestartstop
 [underline]
 [before={\starttextbackground[underline]},
  after=\stoptextbackground]
\starttext
\input tufte
\starttextbackground[underline]\input tufte \stoptextbackground
\input tufte
\startunderline\input tufte \stopunderline
\input tufte
\stoptext

actually this is a combined problem:
(1) in table there is a math switch (the following patch removes that one)
and
(2) you feed #1 to the macro while still in table mode and therefore in

[NTG-context] example online

2004-07-14 Thread Hans Hagen
Hi,
I got the example service running on the new NTG server:
  http://www.ntg.nl:8061/exalogin
There are a few nice things there, like fonttest, pstopdf, mathml, and 
of course impose, the page imposition interface

Because the server is being set up, the service may not always be 
available.

In you get in by http://www.ntg.nl:8061/login you will get a login 
screen, just hit submit then since there are no special projects  
installed.
