[NTG-context] \definelayout[first] does not yield to default layout on page 2

2012-01-25 Thread Peter Park Nelson
First-page layout is an issue that I have asked about before, but
maybe I am doing something wrong. Here is my question in an earlier
thread: 
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20111228.041922.c60f9cd5.en.html
.

I want to define a layout for the first page of my document with
different header and footer formatting -- specifically, no header and
a large footer to hold publication information. Based on examples on
Contextgarden and this list, I think my code below is correct.
However, the first page formatting is continued on all pages of the
document. The effect is the same when using \definelayout[first] and
\definelayout[1].

%%---

setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\setupindenting[yes, medium]

\setuplayout
  [width=middle,
  backspace=15mm,
  topspace=10mm,
  height=254mm,
  header=10mm,  % normal header
  headerdistance=5mm,
  footer=5mm,
  footerdistance=5mm,
  grid=yes]

\definelayout
  [first]
  [width=middle,
  backspace=15mm,
  topspace=10mm,
  height=254mm,
  header=0mm,  % no header
  headerdistance=0mm,
  footer=25mm,  % big footer
  footerdistance=5mm,
  grid=yes]

\definecolumnset[body][n=2,balancing=yes]

\setupheadertexts
  [This is a header]
  [pagenumber]
  [pagenumber]
  [Some text]

\setupfootertexts
  [footer]
  [footer]
  [footer]
  [footer]

\starttext

\startcolumnset[body]

\dorecurse{20}{\input tufte\par}

\stopcolumnset

\stoptext

Don't use {... \over ...} as it will mess up the calculation of math 
style. \frac{...}{...} is more robust.

Hallo,
Does anybody have a receipe for sorting a list of content by chapter title
in stead of by chapternumber??

Or alternatively is there a way to use a manually sorted book.tui file in
the compile cycle of a book?

Oops, I figured it out while putting together the minimal example -- I
had set the grid tolerance  to "verytolerant" while testing. A good
reason to always make an MWE before asking.

- "overscores"

[NTG-context] "overscored" or "overlined" text … (or whatever it should be called)

2012-01-25 Thread Robert Blackstone
Dear all,

I am trying to reproduce with ConTeXt an old french text that contains numerous 
abbreviations, mostly of two types:
- words cut off by means of a "period", with the last letter of the complete 
word as a superscript above the period.
- "overscores"
  --either for single characters, for instance in words with double 
consonances, like "comme". One of these is sometimes omitted and replaced by an 
"overscore" on the previous vowel
  -- or on an entire abbreviation, such as "coe" for "comme" and "nre" for 
"notre"; they become coe and nre overscored.

Now I would like to reproduce these as closely as possible.

For the "period + superscript letter" I found  a solution: \lohi[]{\cdot}{t} 
(for superscript t), nearly perfect. The only imperfection I can see is that 
the dot sits slightly below the baseline. Is there a way to get it on the 
baseline?

The overscore on a single character presents no problem.

For an overscore on a complete word I have not found a solution. 
Three individual overscores on a three-letter word give a broken line; I do not 
know how to merge the three line components. (Incidentally, this hack does not 
work with mkiv)

The other solution I have tried is to put the word in a frame with a top-frame 
only. But this way the word (abbreviation) hangs underneath the base-line. 
Using \inframed instead of \framed  makes no difference. There appears not to 
be something like \setupinframed.

I have attached an example.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Robert Blackstone

Can you provide a full minimal example and not only a snipped?

\setupformulas[indentnext=yes]
