 Why does it happen?

The \to creates interference with the keyword scanner in
the footer|header text macro (because the internal macro,
\convertargument, uses \to as an argument delimiter).

There is no way you could have known that.

It helps if you place a '%' at the end, so
\rotate[rotation=270]{%
and similar to the rest of lines which don't end with a command

 \setupTABLE[width=\textheight, height=\textwidth]

It might look like a bug (it depends, if you have whitespace, then
the table will be shifted one line down, I have no idea how the
background should look like in such cases), but perhaps something like
\setupTABLE[c][each][background=screen] (or
background=color,backgroundcolor=...)
can help you?

The shift is caused by the \setupTABLE commands (ends with ], so the
line break becomes active and adds one space). You can add a comment
symbol at the end of every such line or move the whole setup part out of
the rotate macro. I also used \framed here, as \st(art|op)background

[NTG-context] Overfull \hbox query

2007-01-14 Thread Alan Bowen
I have been processing a number of files using the same environment  
file. Each time, early in the log file I get the very same message:

...
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/base/pdfr-ec.tex)
Overfull \hbox (13.2pt too wide) detected at line 63
[]
system  : module ancientgreek loaded
(/Users/acbowen/Library/texmf/tex/context/third/greek/t-ancientgreek.tex
loading : module ancientgreek
...

The problem is that I can see no evidence in the document of an  
overfull \hbox. Moreover, if I change the font from SIL-Gentium to  
Latin Modern, the message goes away, though it returns once more if I  
use GFSDidot say (only the line number differs).


Can anyone explain what is happening or suggest how I may proceed to  
determine what is happening and why?

[NTG-context] Dynamic Elements on Layer

2007-01-14 Thread Helin Gai
Hi,

I'm still trying to place my running heads into the margin, 5 cm away
from the top. My new attempt is to use layer:

\definelayer[colin][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight,x=0mm,y=0mm]
\setlayer[colin][x=5cm,y=3cm]{\framed{\getmarking[chapter][current]}}
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=colin]

But it doesn't seem to work either. Does anyone know why it is?
Many thanks!

Maybe because the layer is not evaluated for each page. You can try 
putting the \setlayer stuff inside \setupheadertexts or append them to 
beforeeverypage or aftereverypage, like

\appendtoks \setlayer[...] \to \aftereverypage

 Taco had diagnosed this as due to ConTeXt not handling the new mpost

 hurt the run in pdf mode, but perhaps Taco or Hans understand the
 reson.  The test file that I committed does not have the mpprocset:=0,
 so it can be used to test for mpprocset handling in dvi mode.

so, it seems broken indeed; unless someone else solves it i may look at it on a

\stopcolumns
a

the page is broken after the \stopcolumns sometimes even when only 50-80
% of the page is filled (a is in the next page). In my previous
installations (I haven't upgraded for a long time) it worked perfect.

What's wrong? Was something changed? Haven't I installed the ConTeXt
properly? What should I do?

Re: [NTG-context] Columns page-break problem

2007-01-14 Thread Michal Kvasnicka
BTW, I've replaced my ConTeXt with the newest one (ConTeXt  ver:
2007.01.12 15:56 MKII), and the outcome is the same.
M.K.

 Good morning.

 I've just installed new ConTeXt (ver. 2006.08.08 21:51), and use perl
 TeXExec (ver. 5.4.3). Now my old macros using the columns environment
 have stopped working properly. Even when I type (n being a number)

 \startcolumns
 \dorcurse{n}{\input tufte}
 \stopcolumns

 the page is broken after the \stopcolumns sometimes even when only 50-80

Re: [NTG-context] texexec ruby problem

2007-01-14 Thread Sanjoy Mahajan
 I've just installed new ConTeXt (ver: 2006.08.08 21:51) under SuSE 10.1

How did you install it?  What was there before?  It sounds like the
new one isn't visible, since it's date is 2007.01.12 15:56 (or maybe
later).  Is 2006.08.08 the version that came with SuSE?

What does

  kpsewhich cont-new.tex

do?  And what's the modification time of that file:

  kpsewhich cont-new.tex | xargs ls -lt

Also try 'locate cont-new.tex' and see where they live, and maybe also

  kpsewhich cont-new.tex | xargs grep -H '200[67]' 

to see the filenames and the versions they think of themselves as.

 When I try to run [texexec] I get this error message:

How are you running it?

I don't think you have.  See my response in the texexec ruby problem
thread.

  \setlayer[colin][x=5cm,y=3cm]{\framed{\getmarking[chapter][current]}}
  \setupbackgrounds[page][background=colin]
 
  But it doesn't seem to work either. Does anyone know why it is?
  Many thanks!
 
 \startsetups make:headers
  \setlayer[colin][x=5cm,y=3cm]{\framed{\getmarking[chapter][current]}}
 \stopsetups

 \setupbackgrounds[page][setups=make:headers,background=colin]

 you need to postpone/repeat the action

[NTG-context] Another question about oldstyle numbers

2007-01-14 Thread Helin Gai
Hi,

This is a question I posted before, which hasn't been resolved yet...
When I use \setuphead[section][numberstyle=os], the dot in the section
number becomes a triangle... One fix is to say [numberstyle=sc], but
is an alternative available?

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Helin

Hi everybody

\definecolumnset[innerexample][n=2]

\starttext

\startcolumnset[example]
 \dorecurse{15}{\input knuth\par}
 \startcolumnset[innerexample]
   \input knuth\par
 \stopcolumnset
 \dorecurse{15}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnset

\stoptext
