Re[2]: [NTG-context] Complex layout question

I would like them to be distributed across the pages by placing the tables at the top left and the figure at the bottom right, text flowing around them. Since there is a very large number of floats, I would like this placement to be automatic: From now on, do this until you run out of text/floats the text flowing around is is beyond current tex (fyi: this is one of the things we hav ein mind with the lua extensions combined with karl skoupy's arbitary par shape handling; too long term for your thesis) Actually, these urgent matters are for an article which deals with the main topic of the thesis, but the thesis will have to be ready in a couple of months at most so it's still too close :) so, let's see what other options are there. - side by side is still an option: move them partially into the outer margins (details.pdf shows how to do this) - put two/three of them per page, using the postponing mechanism, that way you probably don't run into memory problems - or use a very narrow layout (wide page) and put all graphic in the margin area (i can help with setting up those layouts if needed) I went for the side-by-side option, using \start/stopcombinations because \placesidebyside put the figure and table too close together. -- Giuseppe Oblomov Bilotta ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Ok, found that it's not possible to do it per-combination,
unless you define a new combination. Otherwise, it's only
possible to set it for all subsequent unnamed (default)
combinations by
\setupcombinations[location=top]

I had tried putting a \vfill after the table, but it wasn't
working ...
Anyway, I'm thinking that in my case I probably need to
define my own combination.

Anyway, once we have lua in place, there will also be an api to tex's internals; when that is done, interfacing to ruby should be no problem.

Hi Maurice, Maurice Diamantini wrote: What about Lua, Adding one more dependency to ConTeXt make it more difficult to install and maintain. So what is the advantage of luo in conTeXt instead of ruby? Lua will not be 'in context', but 'in pdftex': the lua library will be integrated in the executable, as a true extension language that can be used besides and interleaved with TeX's normal syntax. Lua is probably the best language for this sort thing, because its code is small and very easy to extend/embed. On the user side of things, nothing will change compared to the current 'update your pdftex release' stuff. Using LuaTeX will eventually probably mean extra functionality, but the most likely sort-term result is a gain in processing speed, because the in-line scripting can reduce the number of needed TeX runs.

Re: [NTG-context] lilypond inclusion + pdf crop
Hi Andrea, - write an article on it (taco can tell you more about hwo to publish in the maps; once it's maps ready, publishing in tugboat should be doable as well - ther is context style now); my impression (also from visiting user group meetings) is that there are quite some texies interested in music We would definately welcome an article about this! It doesn't have to be complicated, just explain what you've done and show off the result. Anything ConTeXt-able is fine, the editors (me) can and will do the work of putting your text in the Maps layout.

[NTG-context] Newbie question: background color in single table row
All -
I have a simple table which looks like this:
\placetable[here]{none}
\starttable[|c w(3.0cm)|c|c w(2.75cm)|c w(7.0cm)|]
\HL
\VL \bf Name \VL \bf Location \VL \bf Date \VL \bf Signature \VL \AR
\HL
\VL
\VL
\VL
\VL
\VL
\AR
\HL
\stoptable
I would like to add a background color to the first row only. I tried
\CL[colorname], \BR[colorname] and neither gets quite what I want. Is
there a simple way to set the background color for only the first row?
I have only just started using ConTeXT, never used TeX or LaTeX before,
so I'm still trying to understand everything I read in the manuals, and
searching the list archive. I can not seem to make the more HTML-ish
tables work the way I want (e.g, \bTABLE...\eTABLE) so I'd like to be
able to get where I want to go using the table I have.
