[NTG-context] French punctuation spacing not working anymore (2006.02.15)

[NTG-context] 'Glossary' on every page
Hello to all,
I have a problem: I want to add a kind of glossary on a book. It will
be, in fact, an explanation of acronyms ('NATO: North Atlantic Treaty
Organisation' for instance).
But... I'd want it on every page, only for the acronyms used on the
current page (and alphabetically sorted if possible)...
I tried using layers (with or without tying them to backgrounds),
blocks (\begin... \end...), buffers, list of synonyms, etc. but I had
problems with one of the requirements or another. :-)
My first idea was to use blocks for each page :
\beginABREV[1]
NATO: North Atlantic Treaty Organisation
\endABREV
\beginABREV[1]
BLOB: Binary Large Object
\endABREV
and to use them with \useblocks[ABREV][\pagenumber] in the footer. To
be sure to give the right page number to \beginABREV, I tried to
define a label and use it, something like (from memory, I don't have
my code near to me):
\reference[abbrev\ABREVcount]% Put a label
\beginABREV[{\ref[r][abbrev\ABREVcount]}]% and use the label to get
the current page on subsequent runs.
but I went on a nightmare of expansion problems... Plus it didn't
eliminate duplicates nor sort the acronyms. But it would have been a
start... :-)
Can someone point me to the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Gilles.

I know. I didn't even think it was possible at all with TeX. It's a minor

no, should be doabla (so remind me later)
I will. :-)
I didn't find a way to tell placefigure not to allow figures to be

[NTG-context] Translations of Context: an excursion
Hello, I asked Hans at EuroTeX 2005 in Pont--Mousson the permission to translate _Context: an excursion_ into French on behalf of GUTenberg, the French user group, and a German person (sorry, I forgot your name :-( ) did the same for the German language. Hans kindly agreed and prefers to have translations on a more recent document so here is a wiki page*: http://contextgarden.net/Revision_and_translations_of_ConTeXt%2C_an_excursion; created on the ConTeXt wiki (thanks Patrick!). The goal of this page is to outline sections that need to be updated or erased or added. Please participate! :-) Gilles. * If the link doesn't work in your mailer, go to http://contextgarden.net/Typos_in_beginners_manual and follow the link to Revision and translations of ConTeXt, an excursion.___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Columnsets problems
Hello,
Following Hans's presentation on ConTeXt in EuroTeX 2005, I started to use
columnsets. I'm really really impressed. Columnsets are easy to set up and
wonderfully powerful.
Nevertheless, I have some problems with columnsets... On the page:
http://typo.free.fr/context/
you'll find the source file (Bogues.tex) and the output (Bogues.pdf)
or a zip file of them.

texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004

Re: [NTG-context] Translations of Context: an excursion
VnPenguin a écrit le mardi 22 mars 2005 22:40 : It sounds interesting :) :-) But could you tell me more : the wiki page is used to keep the TOC only, right ? Or we do the translating job at wiki ? IMHO, it's better to have the ConTeXt source of this doc. But it depends to Hans ... I view this wiki page as a means to discuss where we can make modifications. I just did it for columns on the wiki page. When we'll all agree on modifications, we'll begin the translation. Hans, is it OK? Just my 2 (euro) cents :) I only have one cent (_centime_ as we say in France) in my pocket and give it anyway. :-) Gilles. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
