better something like this where the comment ends at the end of the line

Re: [NTG-context] XML schema or DTD for describing pages or ads?

Does anyone have any such? Or links?

The only reasonable one I'm finding on-line is for an INX builder  
tool (which makes .inx files which can be loaded into InDesign).


In 2004 I tried to find a XML representation for newspaper ads (we  
needed a transport format between different systems).


I had a look at Scribus' format, but at least the version of that time  
was rather messy and badly documented.


I looked at OpenOffice XML and noticed they use a SVG subset for  
graphics. So we settled on SVG.


After a while I even got the developers of our online-ad-builder to  
deliver usable SVG (they refused to read the specs...).


SVG Print specs looked rather usable at that time and I expected a RFC  
release soon - today there's still none, and the working draft of  
2007-12 is the latest... :-(  http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGPrint/


Since we weren't interested in multi-page documents, our only problems  
were colors (CMYK, Spot and ICC-based).



If you'd like to go the Adobe way - there's not only INX (InDesign  
Interchange format), but also another XML format that's produced if  
you pull snippets to the Desktop. And vjoon (ex K4) developers told  
me, they'd use that format for their InDesign-based editorial system.  
I don't know how similar those two are.

Thanks!

Snippets are supposed to be a sub-set of IDML (which is the  
replacement for INX).


I was hoping for something more generic (there isn't such a thing in  
the JDF schema?), but that's an interesting idea

[NTG-context] Figure not placed at margin

2010-02-03 Thread Tom
The following code fragment places the desired graphic at the beginning of
the chapter but indents it to the right a quarter or 3/8 of an inch. The
text (parameter #2, the chapter title) prints to the right of the figure but
sometimes extends into the right margin. Other times, it wraps down to
following lines as it should. The text begins right against the graphic (in
a blank space) as it should, but the whole thing, graphic and text, are
offset to the right rather than being aligned with the left margin. All
other figures in the document are where they are supposed to be. Any ideas?

\def\Myheader#1#2{
  \setupfloats[offset=none,margin=0 in]
  \startfiguretext
   [left]
   [fig:graphic]
   {none}
   {\externalfigure[graphic][frame=off]} 
 {\switchtobodyfont[26pt] {\ss\bf\sl #1}}
  \godown[.5in] 
 {\ss\bf #2}
   \stopfiguretext}

Eh, yes - I still use CS2, no need to update...

JDF allows for the inclusion of arbitrary content data (besides all  
that workflow stuff) but doesn't define any itself.
