[NTG-context] Figures protruding into the margin in double-sided document
I am composing a double-sided document with wide outer margins to allow space for figures. One type of figure is in-line with the text and protrudes into the wide margin. This is easy to do on left-hand pages by saying \setupfloats[location=right] and on right-hand pages by saying \setupfloats[location=left]. Is there any way to automate this so that inserting a new page does not mean I have to fix all the figures? I tried using a macro along the lines of \ifoff\pageno\\setupfloats[location=right]\else\\setupfloats[location=left]\fi but the asynchronousness of output routines means that the page number is usually wrong. Any help much appreciated. Tim ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Hi,
I'd like to set up floats (figures, tables, etc) so they float to the
bottom of the page, by default (as if you always wrote \placefigure

\setupfloats[] that will do this, or have I missed something?

Re: [NTG-context] Columns and components
Jeff Smith wrote: Hi! I'm toying with a complex document environment involving multiple components, both in order to learn in general and to accomplish particular objectives. So I want a 2-column layout for all the document, which is made up of a bunch of components appended one after the other in a continuous fashion. The way I thought to acheive that is, instinctively, to use \startcolumns in my product file, before declaring the various components. However, when I do this, the use of \stopcolumns at the end doesn't work. The document does compile (with columns) when I don't use the stop command, but when I do, there is an error: ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup. \stopcolumns ...idecolumnsfalse \endgroup \egroup l.12 \stopcolumns What is the proper way of doing this? The thing is, I need to balance my columns, and balancing doesn't work with no \stopcolumns. looks like some grouping problem, make sure that you nest start/stop commands properly Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Re: [NTG-context] Figures protruding into the margin in double-sided document
One type of figure is in-line with the text and protrudes into the
wide margin.
I use the following with a single-sided layout, for figures in the
right part of the text, bleeding 0.5 inches into the margin (with no
captions):
\definefloat[bleedfig][figure]
\setupfloat[bleedfig][rightmargindistance=-0.5in,default={force,none}]
\def\rfig#1{\placebleedfig[right,none]{}{\externalfigure[#1]}}
I learnt this method from Hans's details.pdf manual, which also has
information on getting the same idea to work using a double-sided
layout. I'll eventually do that.
Menwahile, to use it:
\rfig{somefile.pdf}
Begin a paragraph, here's some text, and more text etc.
and the paragraph will be typeset around somefile.pdf, with
somefile.pdf bleeding into the right margin.
See chapters 3 and 4 at http://web.mit.edu/18.098/ for examples. I
learnt how to bleed the figures between writing chapters 2 and 3, so
chapters 1 and 2 don't have the 0.5in protrusion. The source code is
at the same location (see env.tex in it).

Hallo!
I tried some examples with m-database and Mojca's 'My Way' and had
some problems

This example does only work as expected if one explicitly gives
quotechar. So what is the default quotechar? Can anybody explain the
above behaviour?
If you activate quotechar, you're using completely other macros to
process the data (CSV-like), \TeX-commands won't work.
I first wanted to write that the example above without quotechar is a
documented bug. But then I remembered that it was already fixed. I
looked at the csv.tex again and tried to process it when I figured out
that it doesn't even compile any more.
Hmmm ... I don't have time to play until friday. It might be that I
have some weird local version of m-database which is causing me
problems or vice versa. I'll take a look at the end of the week (but I
don't know how to fix serious bugs, so it will still be Hans's turn to
fix what I find).
With quotechar it probably works because Taco's code (with quotechar)
was less buggy than Hans's ;)
A bit of history: when I asked for that module, I got two responses
- one from Hans and one from Taco. Each one of them has invented his
own way of dealing with such input, but Taco's way works like
\type{\TeX will be ignored}, while Hans's way obeys \TeX commands, so
you can use \bf and such ...
Since they were both useful, Taco has merged the two. But the
difference is probably not documented well enough.
==Example-2===
\def\Whatever#1#2#3{[#1][#2][#3]\endgraf}
\defineseparatedlist[CSVX][command=\Whatever,
separator={,},
% quotechar={},
first=\bTR,last=\eTR,
left=\bTD,right=\eTD,
before=\bTABLE,after=\eTABLE]
\startCSVX
eins,und, zwei,drei
one,two,three
\stopCSVX
==
If I give an command (\Whatever) then the options 'first', 'last',
'left', 'right', 'before' and 'after' are ignored. That's ok, I
think!
I guess that I asked Hans for that behaviour, although it could be
either way. I don't know if that's sensible or not, but you can place
first and last inside the definition of \Whatever; left and
right might need slightly more typing (if you decide that you need
to do something repetitive on all the nine cells, so perhaps that's
not so useless), but when I think a bit more about it ... before and
after don't have their counterpart.
It's a bad practice to define both command and left/right/first/last
anyway ... so perhaps at least before and after (maybe left/right)
should be enabled again?
(I always have problems because I never know which one does what - I
always mix up left/before/first ...)
But if I uncomment the quotechar option, then the options 'left' and
'right' are no longer ignored. Commenting them out or settings like
'left=' etc. are not working. What I am doing wrong here?
Taco's mode works differently. It's probably because I never tested
that and/or reported problems. Thing should better be unified in this
respect. (I have to test a bit - end of week.)
==Example-3===
\processquotedlist(){,}{}\command(a=b=c=d)
==
Does not work for me. Can anybody give an example?
The thing right to \command is purely symbolic I guess (but don't aks
me how Taco's ugliest macro works ;).
But: it's low-level command I guess. It's not documented in MyWay either.
'\processseplist' does not work too. There has to be an '%' in front
of 'raw'!
You're probably right about that '%'.
But \processseplist should be an internal command unless I'm missing something.
(LaTeX uses lots of '@' for internals and has so unreadable code ...
ConTeXt has better readability, but I sometimes feel that some
commands should be better hidden from the outside world - most
low-level commands are visible to the user, which shouldn't be the
case).
