Re: [NTG-context] Stopping text from flowing around sidefloats
Il giorno 06/lug/04, alle 18:40, Hans Hagen ha scritto: \forgetsidefloats \flushsidefloats may be of help in manipulating those side floats (more on side floats in details.pdf) Hans Thanks Hans. Placing \flushsidefloats after the figure insertion works in the desired way. It seems that this command force the immediate placement of the side float after the text that precedes it. It is true? There is another way to accomplish the same result using standard floats (not surrounded by the body text) moving the content of the float in a manner similar to the one used for the side floats?

[NTG-context] How to define Small Caps when installing a new font (repost)
Excuse me if this message will be posted twice. In the first post I
inadvertently used my work e-mail address which is not registered in
this forum.
A question about fonts. I have successfully installed (for the first
time) a font using the texfont utility and creating both small caps and
slanted variants of the font.
I wrote the following typescript saved in a file named 'Typeface.tex':
\starttypescript [map] [texnansi]
\loadmapfile [texnansi-bertholdag-grotesk-akzidenz]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [sans] [grotesk] [name]
\definefontsynonym[Sans] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended]
\definefontsynonym[SansItalic] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Italic]
\definefontsynonym[SansSlanted] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Slanted]
\definefontsynonym[SansBold] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Bold]
\definefontsynonym[SansBoldItalic] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-BoldItalic]
\definefontsynonym[SansBoldSlanted][AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-
BoldSlanted]
\definefontsynonym[SansCaps] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Caps]
\definefontsynonym[SansItalicCaps]
[AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Italic-Caps]
\definefontsynonym[SansBoldCaps] [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Bold-Caps]
\definefontsynonym[SansBoldItalicCaps]
[AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-BoldItalic-Caps]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [sans] [grotesk] [texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended] [texnansi-gflex]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Italic] [texnansi-gflex]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Bold] [texnansi-gfmex]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-BoldItalic]
[texnansi-gfmex-slanted-167] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Slanted]
[texnansi-gflex-slanted-167] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-BoldSlanted]
[texnansi-gfmex-slanted-167] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Caps]
[texnansi-gflex-capitalized-800] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Italic-Caps]
[texnansi-gflex-capitalized-800-slanted-167] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-Bold-Caps]
[texnansi-gfmex-capitalized-800] [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym [AkzidenzGrotesk-Extended-BoldItalic-Caps]
[texnansi-gfmex-capitalized-800-slanted-167] [encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [akzidenzgrotesk]
\definetypeface [AkzidenzGrotesk] [ss] [sans] [mixgroteskcmr]
[default] [encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript
and in the file to typeset I wrote:
\usetypescriptfile[Typeface]
\usetypescript[AkzidenzGrotesk]
\setupbodyfont[AkzidenzGrotesk,ss]
All seems to work as expected, except for the use of the
SansItalicCaps, SansBoldCaps and SansBoldItalicCaps variants.
What is the correct way to define a font so that {\bf \sc Some Text}
get typeset in the SansBoldCaps variant of the font?
A similar question exists for {\it \sc Some Text}, {\bi \sc Some Text}
etc.
I have read chapter 5.3 of the Context manual and the 'Fonts in
Context' without finding a hint.
Every hint (for a beginner) will be appreciated.

[NTG-context] Stopping text from flowing around sidefloats
I'm a newbie in Context (and TeX) typesetting, but I'm seriously
thinking of switching from my current wokflow, FrameMaker based, to a
new one based on this system, impressive for its quality and
flexibility.
The main work at my office is the producing of technical manuals
(250-500 pages) for megayachts, covering the entire workflow (layout,
technical writing, illustrations etc.).
My first attempt in the use of ConText was the finding of a way to
mimic the basic layout currently used in Framemaker and the mode in
which illustrations are currently placed in the manuals.
The basic layout in Framemaker is composed of a main text flow in which
a column is reserved for placing side notes (warning notes, danger
notes etc.) and a second column is reserved for the main text.
|--|--|
||
|
| Side Notes | Main Text |
||
|
||
|
|--|---|
Normally the figures are placed in the main text area. In this case
(depending from the width of the illustration) flows or doesn't the
main text flow around the illustration.
The larger figures however occupy all the width of the text flow ('Side
Notes'+'Main Text') and the main text get interrupted by the
illustration.
I replicated the basic layout (the original layout is double sided but
i don't care of this at this moment) with the following commands:
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\setuplayout
[backspace=7.3cm,width=11.7cm,topspace=1.5cm,leftmargin=4cm,
rightmargin=0cm,leftmargindistance=0.8cm,height=27.2cm,header=2cm,footer
=2cm,location=singlesided,marking=on]
The last command set the left margin, and should replicate the 'Side
Notes' column of the original layout.
With this setup there is no problem in placing figures smaller than the
main text area.
For placing the larger figures I followed an example taken from page 29
of the manual 'IT'S IN THE DETAILS' writing the following commands:
\definefloat [largefigure][figure]
\setupfloat [largefigure]
[leftmargindistance=-\leftmargintotal,default={left,none,noident}]
\useexternalfigure [provafigura] [Largefigure.pdf][width=16.5cm]
..
\placelargefigure [left] {ProvaFigura}
{\externalfigure[provafigura]}
The last command work as expected for figure placement but cause the
text of the paragraph immediately following the \placefigure command to
flow around the placed figure in a tiny column (around 1cm in width)
at the right of the page and outside the main text flow.
|--|--|-a-
||
|-b-
| ---Large Figure |-c-
paragraph flowing outside the main text flow.
||
|-d-
|--|---|-e-
What is wrong? There is a way to prevent the text from flowing around
sidefloats or a workaround to place large figures in the desired way?
Thank you in advance and Best Regards
F.Fogliuzzi.
