Re: [NTG-context] table making ugly column sizes, how to fix?
I looked at your example. I ran your example, and on my installation, it has
the same problem as I described. I have included a PDF file of my original
sample file, and also the PDF generated from your example. What version of
ConTeXt are you using?
On my installation of context, columns are still coming out "ugly" as you will
see in the PDF t1.pdf. In t2.pdf you'll see the problem shows up in the table
labelled "Good". The "Good" refers to the row in bold, not to the row above
it.

You can also use
\bTC[nc=2, align=middle, style=bold]
But then the regular lines have ugly line breaks and suddenly the
column size of column 3 is squeezed. This shouldn't be, we have the
whole page to work with.
I don't really see the difference in column sizes between the two
cases. See attached (I simplified and cleaned the example a little)

[NTG-context] align is reversed inside a table
Using this table as an example, when I do align=left, the column aligns right,
and when I do align=right, it aligns left. align=center works as expected. Am
I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
I am using the version of context distributed with Debian unstable:
mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 1.01
mtx-context |
mtx-context | main context file:
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mkiv/context.mkiv

[NTG-context] table making ugly column sizes, how to fix?
Full example at the bottom.
I'm making a table. So far so good.
Every so often I want to make something like a section header.
Regular table rows are like this:
\bTR\bTC \eTC\bTC NightShift \eTC\bTC Tension Lines 146 - 150 \eTC\eTR
For the section headers, I do this, and they look the way I want:
\bTR\bTC 30. \eTC \bTC[nc=2,align=center,style=] \bf{Foo Bar} \eTC\eTR
But then the regular lines have ugly line breaks and suddenly the column size
of column 3 is squeezed. This shouldn't be, we have the whole page to work
with.
So, when I do my section headers this way, the columns come out sized nicely,
but the section header isn't styled the way I want it:
\bTR\bTC 30. \eTC \bTC\eTC \bTC[align=center] \bf{Foo Bar} \eTC\eTR
Below is my minimal example you can cut and paste. How do I do the section
headers without messing up the column sizing?
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location=none,page=no]
\setupfootertexts[\sans{Source: http://mywebsite}]
\setupheadertexts[test column text wrapping]
\setupheadertexts
[] [Page \userpagenumber\ of \lastuserpagenumber]
[Page \userpagenumber\ of \lastuserpagenumber] []

\setupTABLE[r][each][toffset=3pt, boffset=3pt, loffset=3pt, roffset=3pt]
\setupTABLE[c][each][leftframe=off,rightframe=off,align=right]
\setupTABLE[c][first][frame=off,align=left]
\setupTABLE[c][2][style=\tfx\it,align=left]

\eTABLEnext
\bTABLEbody
\bTR\bTC \eTC\bTC NightShift \eTC\bTC Tension Lines 146 - 150 \eTC\eTR
% This displays the way I want, but breaks the regular rows.
\bTR\bTC 30. \eTC \bTC[nc=2,align=center,style=] \bf{Foo Bar} \eTC\eTR
% This works with the regular rows, but doesn't look how I want.

Re: [NTG-context] how to put page X of N in header or top space?

Thanks Wolfgang, that works like a champ. Now I've found the documentation for
ConTeXt in Debian, it is tucked away in
/usr/share/texmf/doc/context/documents/general/manuals directory as a pile of
PDFs. I have some reading to do now. Thank you everyone for your help.

Thank you Wolfgang, that worked nicely. Two artifacts I'm not sure
how to address:
I did page Page X of N, but in the output, it displays like
Page 2of 3, Page 1of 3, etc. It ignores the space between the
number and the word of.
Secondly, when I use the doublesided and the {singlesided,doublesided}
alternative page numbering, it rounds up to an even number of pages, even
though the last page is blank. When I just use the singlesided
option I get 3
pages as expected, but it doesn't do the nice interior margins and
switching
sides of page numbers. Even context doesn't view the blank page at
the end as
a page, because it doesn't print the header or footer on it.

You must have forgotten the trailing "\ " of "\userpagenumber\ ". Thank you Alan. That worked. I didn't forget it; I never knew it. I'm starting to run into the area where the Wiki isn't enough, but I don't know enough TeX to read the Context source for the macros. What is recommended to get up to speed on Context? Should I go back and re-read Knuth's book on TeX then try reading ConTeXt source? Last time I read it was 20 years ago, and only got half way through; that was enough for my needs back then. I guess a week or two reading everything on this page would help too: http://www.luatex.org/documentation.html Now just need an answer for the blank page issue and I can start shipping these spreadsheets to clients.
