[NTG-context] Centering last line of paragraph

2008-11-09 Thread dw
Hi all,

For some long-winded subtitles, I need a paragraph shape which has flush
sides except the last line, which is centered. I haven't come across any
solutions for this... any clues?

Best,
David

 Based on this, I had once used
 
 
 \installalign {centerlast}{\leftskip=.3pc plus 1fil
 \rightskip=.3pc plus -1fil
 \parfillskip=0pt plus 2fil}
 
 
 and then use \setupalign[centerlast] or \startalignment[centerlast]. This

 does not work as a parameter of align={..} in \framed etc, but I did not 
 look into it, since I did not need it.

Thanks for the responses. I too found that article, but didn't know how to
apply it in context. I am using hanging punctuation and hz, which doesn't
work within a \startalignment[centerlast] \stopalignment environment (I've
tried a few combinations, and also setupalign with all three). Any ideas on
this one?

Best,
David

[NTG-context] bib: potential range of bibliography styles?

2005-03-23 Thread dw
Greetings all,

I'm leaning towards experimenting with the bib module to see if I can arrive at a usable Semiotics Society of America reference section, which is a historically layered style, along the lines of:

---

PEIRCE, Charles S.
1859. An Essay on the Limits of Religious Thought Written to Prove That We
Can Reason Upon the Nature of God, MS 53, in W1:37-40
1982. Writings of Charles S. Peirce: a Chronological Edition, ed. Max Fisch,
Peirce Edition Project. Five volumes. (Bloomington: Indiana University
Press, 1982-98).

TEILHARD de Chardin, Pr. P.
1961. (posthumously). Hymn of the Universe (New York: Harper  Row 
Torchbooks, English Edition, 1965).
1957. (posthumously). The Divine Milieu (New York: Harper  Row Colophon
Books Edition, 1968). 

---


Aside from all the niggling details (which I'm sure could be worked out), is this kind of layout in general possibleall citations going by year underneath a single instance of the author? or am I doomed to forever make these by hand? ;)

Regards,
David

I'd say it is doable, but not trivial. ;-)
You need to use \setupbibtex[sort=author], of course.  I you can
make it come out like below (all that should be doable using just
the documented features of the bib module), then I will help you
'compress' the repeating authors afterwards, ok?

[NTG-context] Bold item separator?

2005-03-21 Thread dw
Greetings,

I can't seem to get an itemize list to have bold item separators, namely the R  UC Roman Numeral series. I bet it's really obvious *grinding teeth*. Anyone give me a clue?

[NTG-context] Getting a barred l for all the wrong reasons

2005-03-20 Thread dw
Greetings, hopefully this is a real quickie.
I'm using XeConTeXt, regime UTF, language en, hoefler encoding uc  
receiving a barred l for any instance of this:

l/
Which makes it tough to have pairs like centripetal/centrifugal. :)
Any clues?
Kind regards,
David

Hi Adam,
Yes, the Hoefler textalthough not by my choosing ;)
The centripetal|/|centriputal trick did the trick. Thanks again,

Hello David,
Although you can use the utf regime with XeConTeXt, you are often

off not using it. (It depends on which

Yeah, this was a thread on the XeTeX list. Apparently it's an Apple-
created ligature. I think it shows up with o-slash as well. Hoefler 
text,
right?

workaround 1) use a different font. :P
workaround 2) insert something that would interrupt the ligature being
formed, like centripital\hbox{}/centrifugal
Which makes it tough to have pairs like centripetal/centrifugal. :)
potential solution 3) use the much more ConTeXt-like code: 
centripetal|/
|centrifugal.

Hope one of those is of some help...
