 How do you imagine to fit that large footnotes into the margin?
 Is your margin wider than your text area?



That's not the problem. 
Don't forget that I just posted a minimal example to show the generel effect as also 
seen by Willi. 
In my documents the figures are different of course: the footnote size is smaller, the 
margin space higher etc.

So it's not the problem that the footnotes don't fit. 
It's more that they are *still below* the text as before - now as empty space.

(You can easily make the test: Take a regular document with footnotes per page below 
the text. Then use the code to get the footnotes in the margin. You will see that the 
body text doesn't change at all. It's just the notes moving and leaving empty space 
behind)

[NTG-context] Re: new stuff for brave users

2004-08-26 Thread Patrick Gundlach
Hello Tobias, Floris and others,

[live.contextgarden.net]

i would opt for a better 'result-ready' flag (e.g. providing the link
to the result) instead of opening a log file that is of not too much
interest when everything went OK.
  
 How about something like that:

 Show an intermediate page with a reload HTTP header which calls itself
 repeatedly
 a) If the PDF file exists redirect to the PDF page
 b) If no PDF exists but the texexec has ended, redirect to the logfile

which would be the same as just waiting for the texexec job to finish
and then finish loading the website.

 The redirect should not use http-equiv but the real HTTP header.

But, as far as I can see, the user would see an empty page until
texexec stops (perhaps depending on the browser).

 Instead of reloading, you may also try Serverpush:

yuck, this looks very evil to me.


What I try to achieve is to be able to use the live... without
javascript. And I still haven't found a good way of doing so. I'll
stop the popup with the output, and I think I will wait for the
website to load until the texexec jobs finishes.

Patrick (thanks also for all the other suggestions)

[NTG-context] Boldmath Lucida

2004-08-26 Thread Sytse Knypstra
Hi all,
When writing a mathematical text I encountered a few problems with bold 
symbols.
Under the line you will find three problems (dutch interface).
Are they due to my insufficient knowledge of installing fonts?
Thanks for any comment.

Problem 1:
${\bfmath x}$   gives boldface standard  x.
${\bfmath x}{\bfm }$  gives boldface italic $x$ which is what I want.
${\bfmath \Gamma}$  gives a space;
only ${\bfmath \Gamma}{\bfm }$  gives the boldface italic $\Gamma$ that I want.
Problem 2:
${{\bfm \beta}}$  gives a wrong glyph (in fact the ligature 'fi').
Problem 3:
After $\bfm \beta$ the text is no longer  printed in the same Lucida Bright 
style as before.

[NTG-context] btex ... etex in .mp

2004-08-26 Thread Nikolai Weibull
Hi!

I remember reading somewhere that you can't use btex ... etex in input
.mp files, as there is no possibility for them to be processed at that
time.  I've hit a snag, though, and this would really be a good thing
for me to have.  Is there any way to get similar behavior?  Basically, I
want to define some stuff that I want to reuse in several pictures.

[NTG-context] Columnset Areas - Background Color ?

2004-08-26 Thread Miguel Queiros
Hi !

I've been trying to use columnsets with columnsetareas
but I haven't been able to define a background color 
for the text in the columnset area. You can see the 
problem in the pdf I've attached (area5.pdf).

I'v created a small example of the problem: area5.tex

As far as I recall I've also tried to use a 
columnset span but the problem was the same.

Can anyone provide me with some hints so that I 
can use some background color in columnsetareas ?


Thanks,
Miguel Queirós

[NTG-context] concatenate PDF files.

2004-08-26 Thread Paulo Ney de Souza
I am looking for a way to concatenate several PDF files, and found this 
e-mail from Hans:

http://www.tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2001-January/000240.html

saying that texexec can do it in several ways! and to look on the web-site,
texexec manual and the mailing list for directions.

I went to the manual first and found only ONE:

texexec --pdfarrange --noduplex --paper=S6 file-a file-b

but that nullified all links I had in my files, and changed the opening 
from from FitVisible to something else (all files were FitVisible). Next
I went to two other sources he mentioned and Googled for: -ntg-context 
concatenate pdf did not yield much beyond that, and neither did Googling
http://www.pragma-ade.com/ for the words concatenate or combine.

So does anyne know how to use texexec to concatenate two PDF files and
preseve as much of the file as possible (links, opening format, ...) ?
