[NTG-context] off topic: acrobat and dde
hi sorry for the off topic question, but perhaps there is someone here who can help me. i need a html page to bee converted into pdf and then to bee printed out (on a windows machine) without even open the acrobat reader (in the foreground). I think with dde this should be possible (right?). i searched some acrobat dde specifications on the net, but I didn't found anything useful, so is there a location to download them? if possible i plan to implement oll that stuff with python ... thanks for help severin ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Headers and footers in backmatter
Dear all, I have noticed that when I set my index as a \chapter within the \startbackmatter...\stopbackmatter structure of a document, my headers and footers, including page numbers, disappear. Even the backgrounds disappear. The only commands I can find which seem to influnce the sectionblock behaviour are \setupsectionblock and \setupsection, but neither of these has a setting for page numbering or headers/footers. Looking through the sources hasn't helped me either. Can anyone shed any light on the mechanism for adjusting this behaviour?

[NTG-context] lmr / latest beta
Hi all, since I haven't used it for a long time (in ConTeXt terms), I decided to update my context before starting a major project. As usual, I grabbed the latest beta from pragma and installed it. The first thing I noticed was that context defaults to latin modern now - great. Unfortunately, it complained a lot about missing fonts like ec-lmr12. The list archive helped to correct this by installing the contents of the cont-lmt zip. However, the fonts still are not found by pdftex. The resulting pdf is very small (1,5k), and acrobat reader complains about missing fonts. I tried adding the contents of ec-public-lm.map to pdftex.map. This resulted in a larger pdf (4,5k), with the font embedded according to acrobat, but showing as a blank page. I am rather confused by now - I always tried to avoid that font stuff whenever possible. What am I missing?

Re: [NTG-context] how to place figures next to each other

How can I place two figures next to each other without using a
\startcombination ... \stopcombination group?
I now have this, but it is not what I want:
\gebruikexternfiguur[kortoctaaf][cekort][type=eps,hoogte=30mm]
\gebruikexternfiguur[gebrokenoctaaf][gebroken][type=eps,hoogte=30mm]
\plaatsfiguur

[fig:klavieren]
{Enkele varianten van het groot octaaf}
{\startcombinatie[2*1]
{\kortoctaaf}{kort octaaf}
{\gebrokenoctaaf}{gebroken octaaf}
\stopcombinatie}
I want to have the two figures numbered as seperate, independent
figures, but when using a combination, the whole combination is treated
as one figure and gets only one number and one label.
X X X X
fig.n fig.n+1
I've consulted the manuals and searched the list archives, but I have
not found a solution.
tnx in advance,
I now know how to suppress the caption of the combination. By using the
option none.
Now I have to generate the captions of the two figures with the correct
numbers and the reference-labels by hand. So my questions:
- How can I increment the figure counter?
- How can I print the current figure number?
- How can I add labels for referencing to the two figures?
- Is there a better approach to do this?
I have two small figures. So I really want them next to each other. It's
a waste of space to put them underneath each other.

Re: [NTG-context] bib: potential range of bibliography styles?
Great, that does the trick. Another quickie:
This bib style demands that the first author/editor is invertedauthor, while the subsequent authors/editors are normalauthor, e.g.:
WOOTEN, David and Charles M. SCHULZ and Kris KRINGLE.
2005. Adventures in Babysitting, etc.
Is there currently the possibility of distinguishing between the first subsequent authors? (From my preliminary investigations it looks like all authors automatically follow the declared style.)
Regards,
David
P.S. This is a lot more fun than preparing for my exams!

I have to guess a bit on what the 'official' ConTeXt way is to
get all uppercase text, but I think this is it:
\uppercased{all caps}

I know. I didn't even think it was possible at all with TeX. It's a minor

By the way, always in a columnsets context, is there a way to
completely forbid floats on certain pages?
no, should be doabla (so remind me later)
I will. :-)
I didn't find a way to tell placefigure not to allow figures to be
renumbered during the placement. In other words, is there a
possibility the follow the order in which I declare the figure, even
if a page is less optimal like this...

Just a thing: I had to delete the '%' in the '\null}%' line below to make it

[NTG-context] Font encoding: \uppercased
Greetings all,
Taco mentioned the command \uppercased{to get all uppercase letters}, and it works just fineuntil I try to use my self-installed fonts. The quirks come up with diacritics, and this leads me to believe that there is an [encoding] or [regime] issue here, as I had similar issues earlier with the font in general. For example, with \uppercased{Krbel} I receive: KRBEL.
Do I need to make a statement of my intent in a typescript file or somewhere else to resolve this?
Kind regards,
David___
