[NTG-context] Why I needed \parbox and why does \framed not work here?
I am trying to convert to ConTeXt and I have a text with a lot of truth
tables using a \ttable and \xttable command I defined. I ported these
to ConTeXt but I can't get the \parbox - \framed to work.

Hi Gerben
The problem is, that \starttable[|c|c|c|] is for oneliners only.
Replace the statement with
\newcommand{\xttable}[7]{\starttable[|p|p|p|]\HL %

Re: [NTG-context] \raggedright?
Hi Gerben,
with \raggedright one needs to use {}. May be a better approach is to
use \framedtext[align=left,width=xxcm,frame=off]{your text}
Pease refer to the attached file.

There are three different ways of aligning the three objects:
There are more possibilities aligning three objects. For example:
A[[B][C]]
Standard \framed is not capable to align these three nested boxes to
baseline. Since it is very frequent task of form typesetting, I did some
very dirt hacks into \framed definition. But just for myself. (If Hans
see the code all the rest of his hair falls down. I do not want that.)

Hi Marcin, Marcin Borkowski wrote: Hello! I have quite a few questions about ConTeXt (and more coming, I guess!). As a newbie, many things seem difficult for me. For now, the questions are: How does \part exactly work? I could see: messing with pagenumbers; part title not appearing; strange behaviour in eg backmatter... Exactly? That is what I know: part is the highest level of a structure (e.g. a book). Part title will not occur in the TOC unless you change the settings manually (look in the main manual for \setuppagenumbering,look at chapter text elements main manual, pp 135, How do exactly front, body, back matter and appendices environments work? By means of these you van devide a document in different portions, which have each their own style e.g. pagenumber in roman numerals, headings numbered with characters instead of figures (e,g, appendices). Of course you can change the standard set options. How do the system modes (*...-modes) work exactly?

This one should have worked:
A bit of \framed[width=5cm,
align=justified,
location=depth] {\input tufte \par} glamour
and the centered one can be approximated thus:
A bit of $\vcenter{\framed[width=5cm,
align=justified] {\input tufte \par}}$ glamour
But the 'centered' and the 'hanging' one would be nice to
have as a 'location' option as well, at least in my opinion.

Re: [NTG-context] Document structure - some questions
Hi Willi, Hi Marcin, How do the system modes (*...-modes) work exactly? I managed to make \startmode[*interaction] ... \stopmode work, but what about the others starred modes? Most of these modes are only set part of the time. For instance, the *sectionnumber mode is only sensible when it used from a macro that is called from within the processing of the section title's typesetting commands. This would for instance happen if you had \setuphead[section][command=\Mymacro] somewhere. This entire *sectionnumber system mode makes no sense at an other time. I hope that helps. What are the possible parameters for the \setupoutput command?

[NTG-context] bib module: placepublications inserts the first line of each publication
Hi! Some of my bib-items will have more than one line in the list of publications produced by \placepublications. The first line of the entry will always be indented by (probably) one character. The output looks like: Bal01 Balzert, H. (2001). Lehrbuch der Software-Technik - Software-Entwicklung. Spektrum Akademischer Verlag. Sch04 Schmidt, C. (2004). Entwicklung eines Datenakquisitionssystems für das Crystal-Barrel-Experiment zur Messung photoinduzierter Reaktionen an ELSA. Dissertation, Universität Bonn.

[NTG-context] Why doesn't this margin= have an effect?
I am trying to get the itemized lists to be indented the same amount as my paragraph first lines (small). I have been trying to get this by adding margin=dimension but whatever dimension I put there, the result is the same: nothing. Example: \startitemize[n,packed,joinedup][margin=-1em] \item All X are Y; \item All Y are Z; \item Therefore, all X are Z. \stopitemize What am I doing wrong?

Hi Gerben,
There is no worry about the mentioned chaos. You might be lucky, that
your definition is giving a result at all.
If you consult the manual or read the article in the MAPS22 on
tabulating, you will see, that you missed a correct setup of the tabulation.
I attach my version and it works.

Re: [NTG-context] Why I needed \parbox and why does \framed not work here?
Indeed, there is no \starttable info in the manuals. You might have a
look into the sources:core-tab.tex. But what I can see, is, that you do
not use vertical lines. If all tables are such, then I would suggest to
use \starttabulate instead.

Without \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided], I get single
sided layout (even if I have the \setuplayout statement, very
confusing). If I do add \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided], I
get the following:
1. Title page
2. Empty
3. Page with only a page numer 1 at the top
4. empty
5. Page with Contents 'chapter'
6. Page with quote
7. First page of chapter
Except for pages 3 and 4 that is how I want it. Why are these pages
there? They are not there if
\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] is left out.

I have been trying a lot of permutations but so far without luck.
Secondly, when I turn on 2xB5 on one B4 landscape and 2SIDE
arrangement, I would like to have an initial blank page (with page
number 0) so I can have my 2SIDE look just like a book would look. I
have tried to get one with the \page command in various places and with
various setups, but so far without *any* effect.
I have been using the manual, the wiki and any documentation I have
been able to find. So far no luck.
Thanks,

Re: [NTG-context] Why I needed \parbox and why does \framed not work here?
Hi Willi,
Thanks.
If what you changed was the addition of the (2cm) stuff, I did try that
but it did not change anything at that time.
But now I notice that I need to start my rows with a \NC. I would have
thought that a \NC would be like a \crlf or a \page and that it would
have been implied in the \NR command. I find this counterintuitive.
Anyway, Having that (2cm) stuff in the \startabulate makes all tables
the same in column width. I used to be able to have one command
\xttable where the result depended on what I had in the main text.
So, yes, I can use p columns, but that means that all of my tables will
hae to have identical column widths. That is why I wanted to use c
columns and have that decision in the text. So I would still be
interested in a way of doing \parbox in ConTeXt.
(For non-LaTeX users \parbox{2cm}{text text text text etc} creates a
paragraph 2 cm wide and sets the text in it. The height of the box is
the result of that typesetting.)

Re: [NTG-context] Re: Learning ConTeXt, typical hurdle
Hi Gerben, Due to a mistaken handling you roriginal mail I lost it :-( In that mail in the last part, I believe it was an example \component I saw, that you said \starttext ... \stoptext. You do not need this pair, The handling of starting and stopping is done by the \startproject ... \stopproject commands. In the product section I saw that you did not use the \startbodymatter ... \stopobodymatter. I think this is important, because in the frontmatter sectionheading handling is different, as is in the backmatter. here you go with an example I prepared: \startproject HBBbrev \enablemode[A-vier] \environment layout \product voorpag%Titlepage for the book \product beginmat %Frontmatter: Woord vooraf, Koppermaandag, %Boekbinderslied \startbodymatter \environment lo-3 \product gekart %Gekartonneerd in drie varianten \product bdz-rech%Bandzetter rechte rug ... \product technik %Werkwijzen en technieken \product appendix%Appendices: \stopbodymatter \product backmat %Backmatter: Impressum \nomorefiles \stopproject In my case many of the product-files contain a number of \components. I do hope, that this helps. Kind regards Willi Patrick Gundlach wrote: Hey Gerben, Now what turns out to solve this? Empty lines before \description and \stopdescriptions Things that were defined using \definedescription rely on \par as a delimiter. Though I like ConTeXt if I look at certain design aspects, behaviour that depends on whitespace before a command frightens me. Just the way it works :-) Nothing to worry about.

[NTG-context] Microtype ConTeXt question
http://mail.rna.nl/~gerben/microtype.tiff contains an image of a margin of a piece of text I just have typeset with ConTeXt. I was wondering about two things: 1. How does one set up the use of margi kerning in ConTeXt given that my ConTeXt (without me having selected it myself) uses Latin Modern? I have tried adding \usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [thanh] to my environment file. 2. If you look at the image (link above) you see that there is no margin kerning there. Also I was wondering if margin kerning would make not only the . protrude but also the slanted f protrude negatively.

Hi Gerben,
I puzzeled with your project code.
First you are not allowed to use \starttext \stoptext in a definition.
Your definitione interferes with the chapter mechnism. So more knowledge
is necessary which I do not have at the moment.
in the before option you say \page=right, seems to create a problem.
If you want to start a page with blank lines you nee to insert a \strut

[NTG-context] Re: newbie question about fonts
Hello Ciro, I am my distributor maintainer. But you got your distribution from some source? what is the local guide you refer to? This should come with your TeX system (Linux system, downloaded TeX system, whatever) that tells you about things that you need to know about your TeX system. Including the available fonts. Since I don't know what your TeX system is, I can't tell you if you have such a local guide. If it is not on your system, you should complain to the person that gave you the TeX. Wouldn't it be nice to have a command in Context like: \listavailablefonts [type1 | truetype | ... | all] Then please define what a font is. But apart from that, it is not possible from within TeX.

Hi Adam,
hm, the same here also with alpha-context of february 2005.
May be, that one should use a single \comment only. Still there is a
problem then with \comment[t]{text}, which causes the text in the second

Thanks very much for responding Peter! Interesting behaviour - the above

after the '294' as well, which results in:

But in any case - did you get a functioning PDF file when you used the
above definition? Despite the fact that ConTeXt completes its run, I get
a broken file with your definition. Maybe this is because I am using
multiple tints of the spot? My color defs look like this:
\setupcolors[rgb=no,cmyk=no,spot=yes,state=start]

\definecolor[IFSblueheadertint][{PANTONE 294CV}][p=.12]
\definecolor[IFSbluetabletint][{PANTONE 294CV}][p=.15]
As I say, even with this definition (missing the final space) the PDF
result won't open in Acrobat (colour space error). Does your open?
The problem is in the space in the name; since this name is used all over the
place, an internal cleanup will not help, so this is why we have (yes,
undocumented, so ... add to the wiki)
\setupcolors[rgb=no,cmyk=no,spot=yes,state=start]
\definecolor[IFSbluebase] [c=1,m=.56,y=0,k=.18]

\definecolor[IFSbluetabletint] [IFSbluebase][p=.15]

So, use nice names internally and register the name using a low level feature;
in a next version i will provide
\definecolor[IFSbluebase] [c=1,m=.56,y=0,k=.18,e=PANTONE 294CV]
(e for equivalent) which is nicer.

one way is to put things in a box and do some measuring and such; however, then
you need to know a bit about the position of the baseline (measurethe middle

Re: [NTG-context] Initial Font Installation Question (Mac)
David Wooten wrote:
I'm back to ask another question:
After an initial successful installation of the purchased fonts, I've
come to find that there is a serious quirk. That is, when I try to use
any special glyph, be it an accented character of any kind, or e.g. an
eth. The result of something like \a (or \{a}) is _a_ without the
diacritic. Curiously (to me, at least:), if I enter the actual glyph: ,
it gives me the character I needbut only for a few runs! After adding a
couple more of such alternative glyphs, it starts to show gibberish.
Some trials evince an ff-ligature as the diacritic. Errors in the
mapping/virtual font/?
i can imagine interference between input encoding and remapping (map/enc file)
later in the pipeline, but what puzzles me is that different runs produce
something different; sounds more like an os/caching problem

Hey Gerben,
Now what turns out to solve this? Empty lines before \description
and
\stopdescriptions
Things that were defined using \definedescription rely on \par as a
delimiter.
Though I like ConTeXt if I look at certain design aspects, behaviour
that
depends on whitespace before a command frightens me.
Just the way it works :-) Nothing to worry about.
What this introduces is that the working of the ascii file depends on
its
layout. I can understand that an empty line does a \par (it is
convenient
after all) but I would see that kind of behaviour kept to a minimum.
That
is, now I have this 'invisible' element that is needed to close my
structure. It is something quite unexpected for me in a TeX workflow.
Different layout because of a missing empty line, fine. But an error
message and a halt really surprises me. Another part of a learning
curve
which if you want adoption you should try to avoid. But maybe it is
impossible to make ConTeXt more 'forgiving'.
The alternative is \startdescription\stopdescription which is
logically
nicer, but adds inconvenience to the typing/editing
IMO LaTeX here does a better user-interface job (not just because I
happen
to know LaTeX). Withing the description environment \item starts a new
item and the item ends with the start of another item or the end of
the
environment. Completely independent of the layout of the ascii file.
It would IMO be a lot friendlier if my \stopdescriptions and
\description
commands would take care of this and I could do things like:
\startdescriptions
\description{Foo} Bar bar bar
\description{Foo} Bar bar bar
\description{Foo} Bar bar bar
\stopdescriptions
without triggering an error.
this could be made working to some extend, but it would complicate the
code; this mechanism actually is implemented so that it can handle:
\starttext
\definedescription[test]
\test oeps whow \par
\test oeps
whow
\test {oeps} whow \par
\test {oeps} whow \par
\starttest {oeps} whow \stoptest
\stoptext
nowadays i tend to more verbose coding; anyhow, we can add something
\unprotect
\def\startdescriptions
{\dosingleempty\dostartdescriptions}
\def\dostartdescriptions[#1]%
{\begingroup
\def\item{\getvalue{#1}}%
\let\dostoppairdescription \donothing
\let\@@description \dostartpairdescription
\let\@@startsomedescription\dostartsomedescription}
\def\stopdescriptions
{\dostoppairdescription
\endgroup}
\def\dostartpairdescription[#1][#2]%
{\dostoppairdescription
\def\dostoppairdescription{\@@stopdescription{#1}}%
\bgroup
\def\currentdescription{#1}%
\doifelse{\descriptionparameter{\s!do\c!state}}\v!start
{\@@makedescription{#1}[#2]{}}
{\@@makedescription{#1}[#2]}}
\def\dostartsomedescription % #1[#2]#3%
{\bgroup
\@@makedescription} % {#1}[#2]{#3}}
\protect
\starttext
\definedescription[test]
\startdescriptions
\test{Foo} Bar bar bar
\test{Foo} Bar bar bar
\test{Foo} Bar bar bar
\stopdescriptions
\startdescriptions
\starttest{Foo} Bar bar bar \stoptest
\starttest{Foo} Bar bar bar \stoptest
\starttest{Foo} Bar bar bar \stoptest
\stopdescriptions
\startdescriptions[test]
\item{Foo} Bar bar bar
\item{Foo} Bar bar bar
\item{Foo} Bar bar bar
\stopdescriptions
\stoptext
for those who have problems adapting; so, what does the general
context public think of such an extension?
Apart from adapting, the \startitemize \stopitemize does not require me
to have a \par at the end. That is also confusing.

I would like to put \copy\ContinueNextPage after the last \framed in
every page
(in this example, after CONTEXT--18 at page 1 and CONTEXT--36 at page
2).
I don't want use tables/tabular, i try to use \vsplit.
I try to read page-ini, i find useful things like \everyafterpagebody
but i'm still confused.
This needs to happen in the normal text flow (unless you want to use
more dirty tricks)
\startsetups [continue]
\strut\hbox to \textwidth
{\hfill\mathematics{\blacktriangleright\blacktriangleright}\quad}
\stopsetups
\def\LetsCheckItOut
{\dowithnextbox
{\ifdim\dimexpr\pagetotal+\ht\nextbox+\dp\nextbox+\lineheight\relax\pagegoal

\dorecurse{40}
{\LetsCheckItOut

Not only it works, it's also very nice:
thanks Hans.
(
I know that
\newdimen\RightMarginWidth
\RightMarginWidth=\rightmarginwidth
it's strange (after all i use \footerheight
at the next line...).
Some time ago i wrote something like
\MyDimension=0.87\rightmarginwidth
During some corrections/enhancement i made a mistake and i wrote
\rightmarginwidth
=0.87\MyDimension
A nightmare.
When i feel insecure (will i use this dimensions as readonly or
read/write variables ?)
i prefer a safe copy
(in this case i'm sure that i use \footerheight as a readonly var).
