[NTG-context] vertically centred

2004-08-13 Thread Peter Mnster
Hello,
how could I centre vertically a table or a vbox?
In other words, how to do the same as the following LaTeX code in ConTeXt?

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
a box with a table:
\fbox{\begin{tabular}[c]{l}1\\2\\3\end{tabular}}\par
a mid-aligned parbox: \parbox[c]{1em}{1 2 3}
\end{document}

I tried with \vbox to 0pt{\vss ... \vss}, but then the vertical dimension
gets lost...

A related question: where are the differences between
\framed[align=low,high,lohi]{...} ?

TIA for any help, Peter

 i did find textools.rb in the folder
 C:\texlive\texmf-local\scripts\context\ruby

It is not really necessary to run ConTeXt.

Did you try your installation?

Re: [NTG-context] rectangle-words (like in details.pdf)

2004-08-13 Thread Steffen Wolfrum
...it is not that I am inpatient - it's curiosity:

Does really nobody knows the answer to my question,
or is it just that it's too trivial to answer?!

Sorry for re-posting
Steffen

 Hi,
 
 maybe it's a trivial question: 
 
 How do I get these black rectangle-words as they are used in Hans' details.pdf for 
 example (see page 16 or 25)?
 
 Is this a special font - or is there a certain context command used?
 
 Thank you,
 
 Steffen

[NTG-context] nath problems and patches

2004-08-13 Thread Christopher Creutzig
Giuseppe,
 you may or may not know about these problems already, so I decided to 
simply send them all.  I'm using t-nath.tex 2003.12.08, updated five 
minutes ago from www.tug.org, ConTeXt 2004.6.26, and pdfeTeX 
3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5).

nath seems to have trouble with $$...$$-formulas. This file won't compile:
\usemodule[nath]
\starttext
\placeformula
$$a$$
\stoptext
Error message:
Runaway argument?
\@@dollar {\to \asciiB \ExpandBothAfter \doifincsnameelse \asciiA 
\asciiB \ETC.
! File ended while scanning use of \convertargument.

Replacing $$...$$ by \startformula...\stopformula fixes this, but the 
following file won't compile either:

\usemodule[nath]
\starttext
\placeformula
\startformula \sum_{i=0}^m a_i\stopformula
\stoptext
The culprit, it seems, is that \inlinemath uses \xdef, but \mathop@@@ 
puts unexpandable code into the argument of ^ and _.  The following 
hackery seems to work:

\def\mathop@@@{%
 \ifsp@
  ^{\hbox{\edef\noexpand\!!stringa%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@toks}}%
   \def\noexpand\\{,\ }\noexpand\!!stringa}}
 \fi
 \ifsb@
  _{\hbox{\edef\noexpand\!!stringa%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@toks}}%
   \def\noexpand\\{,\ }\noexpand\!!stringa}}
 \fi}
Though I must confess I don't understand why the complexity with 
introducing \!!stringa is needed.  The following version works for me:

\def\mathop@@@{%
 \pushmacro\\
 \def\\{\noexpand\text{, }}%
 \ifsp@
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 \fi
 \ifsb@
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 \fi
 \popmacro\\}

Parentheses in display formulas don't work:
\usemodule[nath]
\starttext
\startformula (x) \stopformula
\stoptext
 I don't know if at some time ConTeXt placed \the\everymath inside 
\everydisplay, but with the current ConTeXt, you need to \appendtoks to 
both.  I regard the output as broken, but at least it will compile.


 Another bug: t-nath.tex defines \savecatcode and \restorecatcode, but 
these names have already been used in verb-ini.tex.  I have locally 
replaced these with \nath!savecatcode and \nath!restorecatcode, seems to 
work.


A math problem not related to nath:
\starttext
\setupformulae[align=left]
\startformula
  \eqalignno{a=b\cr c=d}
\stopformula
\stoptext
doesn't work for me.  Anyone else?
Regards,
Christopher Creutzig
PS: I won't be able to read mails in the next four weeks.

 Hi Hans,

 I attach an example Context file and the included graphics.
 Unfortunately the example is by far not minimal. 

The file is just a few bytes, no need to mention...


Just looking at the error message, I bet your problem is at:

\setupheadertexts[text][{\tfc 8}{\tfb-3\_refkom}][]
\setupheadertexts[margin][{\tfc bu}][\ifnum\pageno =
