Re: [NTG-context] how to produce text with facing translation?
Hraban,
sounds excellent! OK, what I would dream of for the time being would
be: ConTeXt treats a pair of even/odd pages like a unity. It would be
ideal to have two input streams, maybe as \start ... \stop environments.
\startevenpage
text
\stopevenpage
\startoddpage
text
\stopoddpage
It would be important to have commands like \breakevenpage and
\breakoddpage that would insert a pagebreak without breaking the
paragraph.* Both even and odd have their own set of footnotes. Both
even and odd can have their own dimensions:
\setupevenpage[. . .]
\setupoddpage[. . .]
see \setuplayout.
Would that be possible? How hard would it be in ConTeXt? And is there
anything in the source that I could look at to get things going?
Best
Thomas

% n = (number of synced columns, think of more language versions to
compare...; default=2)
% mode = pages, columns (default=columns; pages only with n=2)

remaining space in column?)
% footnotes = local, ...? (synced text needs its own set of footnote
counters...)
% frame, background etc.?
\startsynced[mysetup]%
{ greek text }%
{ german text }
\stopsynced
This would be analogous to combinations, but could handle only single
paragraphs, I guess.
I don't think I need this feature, so it's your turn to propose a
syntax!

Hi,
indeed specs is what we need; also think about how to deal with graphics;
an odd-even pages is doable ; remind me in a week (due to family
circumstances i'll be sparsely online)

Great Hans, I'll remind you in a week. And I do hope your family business is a pleasant one...

[NTG-context] Unexpected behaviour of setuptyping
Conisder
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setuptyping[option=anything] %Any value that is not a valid option
% none, color, normal, commands, slanted
\starttext
\startbuffer
$\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{2} n \cdot (n+1)$
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer
\stoptext
The text is typed in color. I gave an invalid option and expected it
to have no effect, but was pleasantly surprised that it gives color
output. There is nothing in the definition of \setupcommonverbatim in
core-ver.tex to suggest such a behaviour. Is this a bug or a feature?

Re: [NTG-context] enattab example
Hi Patrick, Your example gives here the same narrow table. I inserted \setupTABLE[c][each][width=1cm] so then I get a better table Sorry for the second post, I found out the solution with the topframe in the second row, but saw then that others hav given this already. -- Too late. Kind regards Willi Patrick Gundlach wrote: Hello, I tried the first example from the natrural tables pdf (enattab.pdf), and my output looks very compressed. Same on live.contextgarden.net. Is this the way it should look like? In contrast to the output of the enattab.pdf file. \starttext \bTABLE \bTR \bTD[nr=3] 1 \eTD \bTD[nc=2] 2/3 \eTD \bTD[nr=3] 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nc=3] 1/2/3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Patrick ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

or together with \setupTABLE.
Something like:
\def\midrule{% assume we're in a bTABLE
\bTR[rulethickness=0.8pt,height=\rulethickness,bottomframe=on]\eTR}
might work.
Basically the idea is to insert a very small row with only the rule.
