This is similar to what Hans' presentation modules do...each step is a

cannot).


depends on if we can hook into those keys ... i tend to be careful with 
those features as they are rather view version dependent (it often takes 
a couple of versions for something annotation related to get reasonable

Re: [NTG-context] Placing footnotes in right margin en bloc at bottom of page

2010-07-29 Thread Wolfgang Schuster

 Am 28.07.10 13:19, schrieb Elias Oltmanns:

Hi there,

not being a ConTeXt user myself, I have been advised on the tex-d-l list
of the German TUG that a certain problem could possibly be solved more
easily in ConTeXt than in LaTeX. So, here is what I'm trying to achieve:
The numerous but short footnotes of a document shall be placed in the
right margin rather than below the main text area. Additionally, though,
the footnotes should not be placed near the call up (similar to what
\marginpar does), but type set en bloc at the bottom of the page. In
other words, the main text area should have fixed margins all round
across all pages and the footnotes should be printed in a small
rectangular block beside the main text area such that the height of this
block varies according to the number of footnotes on the page, but the
block is always flushed to the bottom of the page. You'll find an ascii
art illustration below.

Is such a layout feasible in ConTeXt without too much hassle at all?


This is easy:

\setupnote[footnote][location=text]

\setuptexttexts[margin][][{\framed[frame=off,offset=none,align=low,height=\textheight,width=broad]{\placenotes[footnote]}}]

%\showframe

\starttext
text\footnote{one} text\footnote{two} text\footnote{\input tufte\par} text
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Lua code inside database module

2010-07-29 Thread Jaroslav Hajtmar

Hallo ConTeXtist,
Thanx to Hans for his advice.
I further experimented with Mojca database module. I want get 
interaction database module with my lua application which process CSV 
files otherwise.
My application can list arbitrary fields from any CSV file namely in 
completely arbitrary format i.e. in rows format:


field11, field13, field15, ... etc...
field21, field23, field25, ... etc...
field31, field33, field35, ... etc...

this is one of reasons why I want use Mojca database module.
Meanwhile, I too can not run it. Problem is, perhaps, that I can not 
work properly with the expansion.
Perhaps I can get progressively. Here are some insights to the 
functioning of the previous examples.


\usemodule[database]

\defineseparatedlist
[NaturalTable]
[separator=comma,
before=\bTABLE,after=\eTABLE,
first=\bTR,last=\eTR,
left=\bTD,right=\eTD]


\starttext

1. Normal example

\startseparatedlist[NaturalTable]
col1,col2,col3
\stopseparatedlist


2. This example with expand dont work ...

\expanded{\startseparatedlist[NaturalTable]
\ctxlua{tex.print(col1,col2,col3)}}
\stopseparatedlist


3. This example work but no output! WHY?

\startluacode
context.startseparatedlist {NaturalTable}
tex.print(col1,col2,col3)
context.stopseparatedlist()
\stopluacode


4. This work OK but only with adding tex.print()

\startluacode
context.startseparatedlist { NaturalTable }
tex.print() -- without this line dont work (ie without output data)  
try remark it

tex.print(col1,col2,col3)
context.stopseparatedlist()
\stopluacode


5. With tex.print work but with tex.sprint fails! WHY??

\startluacode
context.startseparatedlist { NaturalTable }
tex.print()
--tex.sprint(col1,col2,col3) -- Try remove remark
context.stopseparatedlist()
\stopluacode



\stoptext



Best greetings
Jaroslav

 \stoptext

you could expand the content

\expanded{\startseparatedlist[NaturalTable]
\ctxlua{tex.print(col1,col2,col3)}}
\stopseparatedlist

or use

\startluacode
context.startseparatedlist { NaturalTable }
tex.print(col1,col2,col3)
context.stopseparatedlist()
\stopluacode

of course you can also do all at the lua end (reminds me that I promised
mojca to rewrite the database module)

Re: [NTG-context] Setting up protrusion, side-effects

2010-07-29 Thread Martin Althoff
I hate to pick up on this again, but... 

The basic Palatino, together with protrusion and small caps is causing issues. 
Essentially horizontal placing of the characters fails (see previous PDF).

In the example below, I can reliably cause the effect by commenting out (or 
not) the line with the \sc. 

This effect shows up the my real files. While trying to find the trigger by 
culling down the files, for a moment I could reliably (!) turn the effect on 
and off with the line %\setupfootertexts[chapter][pagenumber] and not changing 
the \sc lines. Weird side effect? Sorry, I can't reproduce that one anymore.

One way to reduce, but not prevent the effect, is if more plain text is output 
before using \sc. eg by adding an \input tufte beforehand. But once the text 
after the \sc is a bit longer ie. 10x tufte the effect will show again. Gut 
feeling: successive and cumulative rounding errors.

Question: Am I tripping over side effects? Is using SmallCaps a bad idea when 
using protrusion? It just feels odd that something like this would be so 
uncontrollable. Particularly since the palatino font is from the TexGyre set 
(so close to home)

Thanks for thoughts! Martin


\definefontfeature [default][default][protrusion=quality,expansion=quality]
\setupalign[hz,hanging]

%\setupfooter[text][before=\hairline,leftwidth=.85\textwidth,style=\tfx]
%\setupfootertexts[chapter][pagenumber]


%\usetypescript[palatino]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]

\starttext
%\input tufte
{\sc Erster Teil}

\input tufte
\stoptext

 Fonts are sometimes special and when ypu load a font it's
 setting (e.g. ligatures, protrusion etc.) are frozen. To change the
 settings you need \definefontfeature before \setupbodyfont, 
 Wolfgang

It seems to have been fixed in the meantime. I just tried it again and
rsync worked fine. The crash still happened, so I deleted the texmf-mswin

context on win64 runs fine again. No idea what caused the problem, but at

[NTG-context] how to jump to figure and return to the original postion?

2010-07-29 Thread dalyoung
Dear all,

In the presentation, I'd like to jump to a figure and return to the original 
position. For that purpose, I set a label for a figure like 

\placefigure[][fig:test]...

and put \goto{figure}[fig:test]

It works fine. It generates a ling to the figure so I click it, I can move to 
the figure. But I don't know how to come back.
I tried similarly. Set a label like 

\item[start] ...

and \goto{return}[start]

It also displays return in changed color but the link is not working.

Is there a way to come back to the original position?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

Wenn ConTeXt sich schließlich als geeignete Lösung erweisen sollte, ist
