[NTG-context] Struggles with \useblocks
Hi gang!
I do not know why this does not work therefore the following:
I have a document with several chapters.
At the beginning an environment file is loaded.
In the environment file there is a block defined as \defineblock[Impressum]
and the block is immediately hidden with \hideblocks[Impressum]
At the end of the document there is the chapter Colofoon
\Chapter{Colofoon}
\useblocks[Impressum]
So far so good. But after compilation with texexec --final of the document
there is the following statement in the log file.
chapter: 14 Colofoon
textblocks : second pass needed
No block Impressum is typeset.
By the way I am using: ConTeXt ver: 2003.8.21 fmt: 2003.8.22 int: english
mes: english
How is this to be explained?
Willi

Re: [NTG-context] Footnotes
Hi everybody, I have to typset several footnotes. I setup a bodyfont (sanserif, Helvetica like). Why are the footnotes typset in cmr? I'm not sure but I've just solved similar problem. Footnotes have their 'own' bodyfontsize so if it isn't defined, ConTeXt uses default font. For example I defined \definebodyfont [13pt,12pt], while footnotes are 'small' by default, which means that they are 10pt. Footnotes were in cmr10 because I didn't defined 10pt body font. Is that your problem? Pawe/l ___ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] newbie tabulate question
Hi Thomas, set up a tabulation with a whitespace of 0.5 lines between rows. But no Once upon a time I made a note in the article by Hans Hagen published in the MAPS 22, 1999. The article deals with all kind of possibilities of the \starttabulate \stoptabulate environment. The note is: \TB[medium] This command inserts blank between tabulate rows. The \setuptabulate[] command has an option inner=command. Inner is executed before the first column is typset. - May be this is also an option for your problem.

[NTG-context] problems with embedded spaces in file paths (Win32)
I don't normally use Win32, but I want to convert our 4AllTeX addicts to
TeX Live 2003. In testing release candidates, I encountered a few
problems with context and texexec. The most recent tests were with the
Sept. 5 release candidate (using the install CD).
1. on Win32, kpsewhich often fails to find texexec.ini. I created a
texexec.ini in texmf-var/context/config and verified that it is listed in
the ls-R. My conjecture is that this failure occurs if and only if the
final component of the nme of the current working directory contains an
embedded space, e.g., C:\My Documents. Texexec takes a very long time
to run (searching the texmf trees on an unloved and unwanted PIII 300mhz),
so I haven't done a lot of testing/debugging. I haven't encountered any
other kpathsea failures. I can work around this by tweaking texexec.pl,
but it would be comforting to have an explanation.
2. ConTeXt texexec uses $ENV{HOME} to set a value in filename.tmp,
e.g., on unix:
$ cat try.tex
\starttext
\input story
\stoptext
$ texexec try
$ cat try.tmp
% try.top
\unprotect
\setupsystem[\c!gebied={/user/gwhite/}] % set from $ENV{HOME}
\setupsystem[\c!n=1]
\setupsystem[inputfile=try.tex]
\protect
If, e.g. HOME=/x y, the formatted document gets an extra page containing
y//cont-err.
On Win32, it seems common to have spaces in %HOME%. In particular, for
WinXP, a value appears to be constructed by the texexec.ini binary
(created using irun) if %HOME% is not set. I can work around this by
asking users to explicitly set HOME to something safe.

Hi,
I would like create some kind of template of first page - I try put a
few text blocks in \startstandardmakeup - \stopstandardmakeup area but
I spent a few hours but I did nothing.
I can only do something like that:
\framed[align=middle,width=broad]{some text}
\blank[10*big]
\framed[align=middle,width=broad]{some text}
etc...
but I think it is better solutions to put blocks there where I want ;).
Could anybody give me any advice?

\pagina seems to be synonymous with \page at least \page appears to have the
same effect. I was hoping for [after={\page[bigpreference]}] but that does
not appear to work. [after={\page[yes]}] does the same as \page. It seems to
be just that the preference does not do anything.
I was also hoping for [split=repeat] but that stops [after=\pagina] from
doing anything.
Thanks again

Re: [NTG-context] Table with metapost framing and colors
