[NTG-context] Advance in columnsets/columns?
Good evening. I've been very busy in the last year or so, so I haven't been able to follow up change in the ConTeXt. So I dare to ask: Was there some advance in columnsets and columns in the last year? (I haven't found any mail in the mail archive on this topic.) I typeset our church bulletin in the column layout, so I am especially interested in these matters: 1) If there is some automatic balancing of columnsets, that would allow me to stop the columnset at the middle of the page, balance it automatically (not manually, I know to do it manually, but it's bothering), and start a new columnset on the same page. (I know it's on the edge of TeX possibilities, or beyond perhaps. But Mr. Hagen is a real Wizard---he has already implemented many things that I thought are not possible in the TeX.) 2) Or, what would be satisfactory, if the float-placement mechanism of ordinary columns was improved, so that I would be able to put a float not only here, or on the top, but also in the bottom in the two columns layout. Many thanks for your kind answer. Your sincerely M.K. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Minion/Myriad
Good evening. I've found there are some nice Minion/Myriad fonts included in the Acrobat Reader 7.x for Linux, and that they include glyphs needed for the typesetting Czech. But I don't know how to handle .otf fonts. I know there are some huge manuals on this topic, but I'm really short of time. So I dare to ask one lazy question: Does anybody here have all the necessary files (typescripts, metrics, virtual fonts, .otf translated to .pfb etc)? Would he be so nice to zip and send it to me? (Perhaps with a sample file showing how to use it?) I'd be really thankful for that. (I know it's not a great reward.)

[NTG-context] More on split TABLES: Numbering Scheme and other things
Hello, I'm using the split-TABLE patch below (send - how can it be different - by Hans) along with the also appended table definition (to read out XML code). I have two problems here: 1) as posted earlier, the page just before a split TABLE overflows on the bottom (see http://www.idyll.org:8081/JohSite/context/page-overflow-preceeding-a-split-table). 2) I also wonder whether the table numbering scheme this is producing may be changeable: instead of '1.1a', '1.2b' (currently for two parts of a split TABLE) the more intuitive '1.1a', '1.1b' Can anybody give me a helping hand for fixing this? Thanks, Joh Table definition: \defineXMLnested [table] { \defineXMLsave[floattitle] \defineXMLsave[caption] \defineXMLsave[header] \defineXMLsave[body] \defineXMLsave[footer] } { \splitfloat { \expanded{% \placetable [\XMLpar{table}{location}{here}] [\XMLpar{table}{label}{unknown}] {\select{figurecaption}{\XMLflush{floattitle} {{\bf\XMLflush{floattitle}} \XMLflush{caption}}} %{\XMLflush{caption}} } } { \setupTABLE[row][1][topframe=on] \setupTABLE[row][last][bottomframe=on] \bTABLE[frame=off,split=repeat,splitmethod=b,style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex]}] \bTABLEhead\XMLflush{header}\eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody\XMLflush{body}\eTABLEbody \bTABLEfoot\XMLflush{footer}\eTABLEfoot \eTABLE } } Split TABLE patch: % Fixing multipage table according to Hans Hagen: \unprotect % in core-ntb : we check the flag \def\splittblbox#1% {\ifinsidesplitfloat \donetrue \else\ifinsidefloat \donefalse \else \donetrue \fi\fi \ifdone \executeifdefined{splittblbox\tbltblsplitmethod}\splittblboxa{#1}% \else \notsplittblbox{#1}% \fi} % in page-flt : we add a flag \newif\ifinsidesplitfloat % will become chardef \def\dosplitfloat[#1]#2% nog dubbele refs {\ifinsidecolumns% tzt ook nog figuren splitten % not yet supported \else \bgroup \insidefloattrue \insidesplitfloattrue \getparameters[\??si][#1]% \resetnumber[\??si]% \def\floatcaptionsuffix{\convertednumber[\??si]}% \TABLEcaptionheight\@@silines\lineheight % brrr \simplifypagebreak % \page becomes \goodbreak \dowithnextbox {\forgetall \dontcomplain \doloop {\setbox2\vsplit\nextbox to \lineheight \setbox2\vbox{\unvbox2} \ifdim\ht2\lineheight \incrementnumber[\??si]% \ifcase\rawnumber[\??si]\or \ifdim\nextboxht=\zeropoint \let\floatcaptionsuffix\empty \fi \fi \bgroup #2{\unvbox2} \egroup \ifdim\nextboxht\zeropoint \page \decrementnumber[\floatcaptionnumber]% \fi \fi \ifdim\nextboxht\zeropoint\else \expandafter\exitloop \fi}% \egroup} \vbox \fi} \protect % beware: you need to set the splitmethod to b (boxed split) ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
