[NTG-context] Equivalent of LaTeX \cancel? and Thanks!
Hi all,
I recently transitioned from LaTeX to ConTeXt. There was some particular
thing I needed to do (which escapes me at the moment) that was far, far
easier to do in ConTeXt than in LaTeX. And, as I've learned, I've found
that that's quite often the case. So, a huge thank you to everyone
involved.
A couple hours ago I was annoyed that I couldn't find an equivalent for
the LaTeX 'cancel' environment/command/style(?)[1]. Now, I'm truly amazed
that 'cancel' required a whole package.
After discovering that 'underline' and 'strikethrough' were implemented as
overlays, I quickly coded up the following:
\startuseMPgraphic{MyCancel}
draw (0,.2*\overlayheight)--(\overlaywidth,\overlayheight);
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[mycancel][\useMPgraphic{MyCancel}]
\def\cancel#1{\framed[background=mycancel,frame=off]{#1}}
Now, I'm sure this is not *quite* the right way to do it. The 'cancel'ed
items end up being placed too high on the line, and other spacings are
slightly off. But, taking a cue from underlining, I kept the MyCancel
graphic and tried:
\definetextbackground
[cancel]
[location=text,
alternative=1,
background=mycancel]
% plus boilerplate for setting up \startcancel\stopcancel
...But, while composing this email, I found what I wanted, which still
isn't ``right'' in some sense:
\def\cancel#1{\framed[background=mycancel,frame=off,width=fit,height=fit,strut=no]{#1}}
I found the parameters for \framed. I'm still learning to Read The
Fantastic Manuals, but sent this anyway since I wanted to say thanks.
Best,
Ben

I am setting up a head which simply puts its contents in a layer, so that

Thanks. I think that in this case it will be cleaner to not use heads in
this case and implement color, style, align interface by hand. I will
wikify your answer.
you can achieve the same effect by just header=high and using a layer in
the command and flush it then

however, this is kind of fuzzy when you cross lines

however, there is a glitch in the drawing so you need a patch

I tried to put logo on my pages.
I got an undefine control sequence with luatex.
This small exemple look to run fine with pdftex but not luatex in context live.

no, i just disabled in mkiv, use layers instead; they should provide the

[NTG-context] Running Mark IV / luatex: unknown script: context

I'm running TeXlive 2008 installed from ArchLinux and I can't run 'context' from the command line.

Hello Mildred, After I figured out on the Internet how to set the environment variable TEXMFCNF (I set it to '/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf'), I only get: It should rather be /usr/share/texmf/web2c (the name of the directory), I surmise.
