Re: [NTG-context] columns(ets) and itemize[columns]

Hello,

I just completed a big project making heavy use of columnset,  
columnsetspan

and paragraphs. Very powerful!

Two questions, first:
What is the real difference between columns and columnset?
I am a bit confused* about their coexistence. Is this purposeful or  
necessary
(or is it simply historical)? Is \startcolumns simply an unnamed,  
default

columnset?


columns and columnset are two different mechanism two produce a document
with text and two or more columns. the columns mechanism is the older  
one
with limited control about the placement of figures but allows you to  
mix

one column and multicolumns text on a page. columnsets are a new version
of the column mechanism with more control about the placement of figures
and other features like spanned columns etc. (look at the manual for  
more)
and is better suited for magazine like layouts (Vit Zyka posted a few  
nice

examples a few years ago).


(*and the wiki page needs to be clarified...)


the wiki is from users for users, feel free to correct the articles


Second question, maybe a bug?
\startitemize[columns] does not interact well:
I suspect that it could or should use paragraphs internally rather  
than

columns so as to work within a column(set).


that's a limitation in tex, when you use the 'columns' key for itemize
the items are typeset with a \startcolumns / \stopcolumns before and
after the environment and you can nest columns /columnset environments
(a tex limitation) but in normal one column text this is not the case
and you can use multicolumn items in most cases (in a few cases
streamlayer are necessary, e.g. within framedtext) but you can

\startcolumns
\startsimplecolumns
\startitemize
\item one
\item two
...
\stopitemize
\stopsimplecolumns
\stopcolumns

   Hi,
  
   I want a line to separate the header from the text body. Now if I

   \setupheader[after=\textrule]

   Any suggestions on how I can make the line span just the text

  \setupbackgrounds[header][text]

  \setuplayout[header=18pt,headerdistance=12pt]
 
  \starttext \input tufte \stoptext

 Why doesn't Peter's solution work? It is the first that a new
 user will think about (well, I did, at least :-). And the rules
 really are something that logically belongs to the header, not
 to the background. For example, when you start a new chapter,
 and switch off the header on its first page, then you want the
 rule to disappear as well, and not to switch it off separately
 by changing the state of the background. (By the way, how would
 that work? Can you give a \setuphead solution?)

Hi,

Sorry to bump this very old thread, but I've searched a long time to 
find this solution :


\setupheader[text][after=\hrule height 1pt]

Hope it helps

Re: [NTG-context] how to prevent header at page bottom

2009-05-18 Thread Jos van Gisbergen
Hi Aditya,

Your solution works for normal text following the header.
But if I have a framed text with a background, which also
has a before={\testpage[3]} (\definetextbackground[FramedText][
...,before={\testpage[3]},...]) and the section starts with such a framed
text, it can still go wrong. And I guess it can also go wrong if a section
starts with a figure. Is there some way to specify that if less than a
certain number of items (lines of text, frames, figures etc.) fit on the
remainder of the current page, the next page should be taken?

Thanks in advance,

Jos

\testpage[3] checks that you have space for atleast 3 lines in the current 
page. So you can use

\setuphead[myhead][before={\testpage[3]\blank}]

if the bbox goes through the middle of a line in an xform then you get

 that's a limitation in tex, when you use the 'columns' key for itemize

 (a tex limitation) but in normal one column text this is not the case

 \startcolumns
 \startsimplecolumns
 \startitemize
 \item one
 \item two
 ...
 \stopitemize
 \stopsimplecolumns
 \stopcolumns

page-mul.tex
...
%D Undocumented and still under development.
\def\startsimplecolumns
...

May I suggest that \startitemize[columns] internally use such a mechanism, 
perhaps when under a columns or columnset environment. Of course, this may be 
a bit tricky according to the following remark:

 (in a few cases streamlayer are necessary, e.g. within framedtext)

Indeed!
Inside framed text I used paragraphs to manually typset into columns; now I 
get to learn about streamlayers...

[NTG-context] Publication list indenting

2009-05-18 Thread Michael Bynum
I am trying to get my bibliography list to have indenting on all but
the first line of each entry.  I tried to apply the solution from
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Shaped_paragraphs but I can't get it to
work in the publication list.  I tried something like the following,
but neither seemed to have any effect on the indenting.

\definestartstop
  [exdent]
  [before={\startnarrower[left]\setupindenting[-\leftskip,yes]},
   after=\stopnarrower]

\setuppublicationlist[before={\startexdent},after={\stopexdent}]

or

\startexdent
\placepublicationlist
\stopexdent


Thanks,
Mike

Hi Taco,

i'm wondering if context has support for this built in.  here's the 
link; http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#tables.


could someone try compiling with luatex, i get a single horizontal 
line and nothing else.


Output looks fine here:

  Creator:ConTeXt - 2009.05.14 16:44

No, none at all. Just take it as a hint: 'context' is definitely the
best way to run mkiv ;)

That won't work, for sure.

Re: [NTG-context] columns(ets) and itemize[columns]

2009-05-18 Thread Hans Hagen

Alan BRASLAU wrote:

Great! This is somewhat what I suspected (columns mechanism is the older one). 


older but also conceptually different

Is there good reason to keep both mechanisms? That is, does the startcolumns 
mechanism have advantages? Can't one mix one column and multicolumns text on a 
page using columnsets?


yes, and there might be even more variants in the future as there is not 
one solution


May I suggest that \startitemize[columns] internally use such a mechanism, 
perhaps when under a columns or columnset environment. Of course, this may be 
a bit tricky according to the following remark:


no, the current itemize columns work nicely in the main vertical liust 
while simple columns are a box


future mkiv versions might have better mechamisms
