Hi Wolfgang,
I appreciate your solution, but it would be much more useful if the
solution would be accompanied with a step-by-step explanation of what is
going on behind the scenes.
A collection of such elegant solutions (together with explanations)

Maybe some knows a solution for this ...

[NTG-context] narrow space in \ldots.
Hello ConTeXt folks,
I'm quite new to ConTeXt. I like it.
It's way more systematic than LaTeX.
Here's my first question. When omitting the last
part of a sentence, I want four periods:
This is a long sentence which\ldots.
LaTeX produces equally-spaced four periods,
but with ConTeXt, the last space is narrower
than the preceding two. (See examples below.)
I guess that LaTeX specifically designed
its \ldots with this use (sentence-ending four dots)
in mind. How can one fix it in ConTeXt?
I use the context package version 2008.05.21-1
on Debian testing. The LaTeX is from the
texlive-latex packages.
Cheers,
Ryo

Re: [NTG-context] good layout for tech manual
Hi, I’m doing also manuals (utility vehicles), graphics are mainly not screenshots but drawings (or photos), but I have also chapters which consist mainly in screenshots (of a 640px or so control device). My messures refere to A5 landscape. Best solution for me so far: a constant margin of about 45 mm where I can put my images/screenshots in; the images go in as \placefloat[margin]; so they are always aligned on top and respecting each other;). Sometimes I do a \margintext or \inmargin but preferably vers the end of the production. It happens that on some pages the margin will be empty. For me this is ok. The advantage is, that you’ll rest quite flexible, when you have to insert new things or to replace images. The flow-text flow is quite good. In annexe I put my env-file (a bit cleaned-up), so you can get an idea (once again: its a5 landscape). env_rxt_cleaned.tex Description: Binary data Although a bit cleaned it contain s much stuff of a context newby, but maybe you get the idea.

Hi All,
I am working on a text that contains many combined figures, some side by

one works, the second doesn’t, that is, it also places the figures one above

minimals.
What can I do to place two figures side by side with a single caption?
Both variants work for me.

Re: [NTG-context] Combining figures.

Re: [NTG-context] narrow space in \ldots.
Hello Hans, | Hello ConTeXt folks, | I'm quite new to ConTeXt. I like it. | It's way more systematic than LaTeX. | Here's my first question. When omitting the last | part of a sentence, I want four periods: |This is a long sentence which\ldots. | | which\unknown Thanks for the answer! It's close, but not quite. First, I noticed that \unknown produces three dots, not four. So, I tried \unknown. (See the attached.) In this case, There is a thin space between the word and the first dot, so that the output looks like which . . . . Convention says that the fist dot should look like a sentence-ending period: which. . . . Second, with \unknown., the last space is slightly, just slightly, narrower than the preceding two. I guess \unknown is designed to be an inter-sentence ellipsis: This long sentence\unknown is complicated. For this purpose, it's perfect. It generates appropriate spaces before and after the three dots. Regards, Ryo \starttext Hello\ldots. World.\ldots Hello\unknown.

[NTG-context] loading bib module breaks colors in tikz figures (mkiv)
Hello,
Not that I understand why this happens (bug trigger looks extremely
weird), but if I load bib module, the colors in TikZ graphic are lost.
Commenting out bib module returns the color back. (I remember
reporting lack of colors not so long ago, though I'm not sure if it
was in pdftex or luatex.)
I'm using
- ConTeXt MKIV 2009.05.08 21:48
- LuaTeX beta-0.40.1
- approximately CVS version of TikZ
\usemodule [bib]
\usemodule [tikz]
\starttext
\starttikzpicture
\filldraw[fill=green!20,draw=green!50!black] (0,0) -- (60:3cm) arc
(60:120:3cm) -- cycle;
\stoptikzpicture
\stoptext
Can anyone please confirm the bug? (I often mess with my system too much ...)
Thanks,
Mojca
To Till only: I have a feeling that the command
\node[label=87:$φ$] at (65:1cm) {};
an the image above places the label to a different place from where it
used to place it a few weeks ago (recompiling an old document has
placed the label to a different place).
This is the sequence of command to reproduce the problem using the
latest software versions:
rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
./first-setup.sh --context=beta --extras=t-tikz
# go for a coffee
cd tex
. setuptex
luatools --generate
context --make en
cd folder-with-your-test-files
context testfile.tex

More precisely: the version in TeX Live has a different placement, but
it's quite possible that the old behaviour is worse (buggy). I
remember having problems with placement (a tiny difference in angle
used to place the label to a completely different position).

[NTG-context] Obeyspaces in tables
Hi,
Does \obeyspaces work in tables? I cannot determine how to make it do so. In
the following example, I am unable to maintain the space between the words
T H E and P R O J E C T.
\bTABLE[width=.5\hsize,frame=off]
\bTR
\bTD[align=right] {\it {\vi Contractor:}} \\ {\ss An organization} \\
{\ssx 100 West 27th Street, NY 10001} \eTD
\bTD[ny=2][align=middle] {\obeyspaces {\ssa {\bf T H E P R O J E C T}}} \\
100 East 10th Street, NY 10003 \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD[align=right] {\it {\vi Sub-contractor:}} \\ {\ss Another organization}
\\ {\ssx 100 Stagg St., Brooklyn 11206} \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
Thank you for any help or advice.
