Re: [NTG-context] Help with Long Titles
Hi Malte,
If you say
\setvariables
[titlepage]
[set=\texsetup{titlepage},
project={Pearson},
title={\startframedtext[width=\textwidth,frame=off] This document title
is very long, \crlf so I'd like to break it into two lines \stopframedtext},
author={Tony Mueller},
version={Version 1.0.0}]
the title is broken where you put \crlf.
Is that what you want?
Best regards: OK

Hello,
I am using a the startsetups mechanism that defines a title page in my
environment file. That way anyone creating a document in my organisation can
create a new document and get a consistent look of the title page. There is
one problem with this: On occasions I get very long document titles and then
the title extends over the left-hand edge of the page. I would like to
incorporate a new line into the document title; I'd even be happy to do that
manually, ie. it does not have to be automatic.
There are two problems here:
1. I had not had any success with putting a newline into the title; it will
need to be not where the titlepage is defined but where it is used (see
below). I have tried \par and \\ and none of them work.
2. Assuming I found a way to do this, I would need to also find a way of
reducing the \blank[170mm] by the amount that the second line of the title
takes up to render the information down the bottom in roughly the same place.
If push comes to shove, I could create a second titlepage setup for two-line
titles, but I much rather not. Is there a solution to that? Is there maybe a
way to position the information down the bottom absolute?
Here is minimal example (or something very close to that):
% The title page
\startsetups titlepage
\startstandardmakeup[style=sans]
\blank[50mm]
\rightaligned{\bfd\getvariable{titlepage}{project}}
\textrule
\rightaligned{\tfc\color[darkgray]{\getvariable{titlepage}{title}}}
\blank[170mm]
\starttabulate[|plf{\tfa}|prf{\tfa}|]
\NC\tfa\copyright\thinspace Pearson Pty Ltd \NC
\getvariable{titlepage}{author} \NC\NR
\TB[small]
\NC \color[darkgray]{Commercial in Confidence} \NC
\color[darkgray]{\getvariable{titlepage}{version}} \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\tfx Uncontrolled copy if printed.
\stopstandardmakeup
\stopsetups
% ...and this is how it is being used
\starttext
\setvariables
[titlepage]
[set=\texsetup{titlepage},
project={Pearson},
title={This document title is very long, so I'd like to \par break it
into two lines},
author={Tony Mueller},
version={Version 1.0.0}]
\stoptext
Thank you very much for all the help I have received so far.
Regards,
Malte.

Re: [NTG-context] Current ConTeXt wiki
Hooray, we have a new stable! 1. Probably we should refresh the wiki's cache of context PNG examples? Some examples contain commands like \contextversionnumber, which are now stuck on 20111008 until their MD5 changes. Also, examples might change (or break) when compiled with the new stable; best to make that happen ourselves. Otherwise, a contributor might make an unrelated change to the example, and the example will unexpectedly change or break, and the contributor will think it's due to what he/she did. Patrick, do you know if forcing recompilation (immediate, or on page load) is doable? Perhaps deleting a PNG wil force it to be regenerated on page load? If it's non-trivial, I suppose we can leave it. 2. Improvement to the PHP script: make the text returned in case of failed compilation contain a category tag like [[Category:Examples with errors]], so that we can have a hidden maintenance category of examples that don't compile. It would need to be added to the return strings in the lines that match /return.*error/; if someone can send me a current copy of wikitex.php I can take care of this. (Also, I'd like to have a current copy so I can update http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_wiki:Context_tag_implementation ) 3. On running the stable and/or the beta Hans wrote: isn't the wiki running the beta then? No, it runs the latest stable. It might be possible to have a beta installation, too -- then users could specify context mode=beta -- but we'd have to look at forcing recompilation once a week (or so) when we update the beta. Depending on Patrick's answer on the feasibility of forcing recompilation, I could have a look at implementing this.
