[NTG-context] [layers] unsolicited “0” after setting background
Hi again,
when setting a background layer combined with an early font setup
there appears a “0” (ascii 0x30) right after “\starttext”:
·
\setupbodyfont[sans] %%% -- comment this out and the “0” vanishes
\definelayer[bg][x=0,y=0,width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] %%% -- or this
\setlayer[bg]{%
\startMPcode
draw fullcircle scaled (.5*PaperWidth) withpen pencircle xscaled 7
withcolor \MPcolor{gray:7};
\stopMPcode
}
\setupbackgrounds[paper][background=bg]
\starttext
\input dawkins
\stoptext
·
Removing either the “\definelayer” or “\setupbodyfont” statement
makes it go away.
What have I come across this time?

[NTG-context] XeLaTeX or ConTeXt?
I'm still wrestling with this issue of doing InDesign-like documents. Does ConTeXt provide a way to simulate multiple stories or flows of text? For example, suppose I have a newspaper with two articles on page 1. One of them continues on page 2, and the other on page 3. Is there a way to do that? Alternatively, I could consider plain TeX or LuaTeX, but I know very little about either of those. I'm prepared to learn, but I'd like to get some hints about what seems like the likliest path to produce this kind of document. Thank you! -pd -- Forwarded message -- From: Peter Davis p...@pfdstudio.com Date: Sat, Jun 4, 2011 at 5:36 PM Subject: XeLaTeX or ConTeXt? To: texhax tex...@tug.org I'm looking for a way to produce InDesign-like documents with TeX. By InDesign-like, I mean, apart from excellent typography, the abillity to have 'stories' automatically overflow from one container to another, either on the same page or on additional pages, to embed graphics into the text, to copyfit, to wrap text around irregular shapes, etc. I've been working with XeLaTeX, using the Textpos package, which is very useful. However, I think I need to switch to (or add?) the Flowfram package to get automatic overflow handling. I think that will let me get the effect of multiple stories by concatenating the stories together into one document environment, and using explicit frame breaks to start a new 'story.' However, I'm wondering if I should be considering ConTeXt at this point. I keep seeing that it's supposed to provide more sophisticated typographic control than LaTeX, but I don't know what. Is there a way to get this multiple story, automatic overflow effect with ConTeXt? Layers seem a little like text frames, but I don't see anything about overflow. What about copyfitting? Wrapping around irregular shapes? I've looked at the ConTeXt docs, but it seems mostly to be a different way to get the same effects as LaTeX, rather than a way to get a whole new range of effects.

But using ctrl-D a few times, as Mojca suggested, when the installation process stops midway, eventually results in a usable minimals. Maybe some functions do not work but I have not yet discovered any. So that might not be a real problem after all. Thanks for the help.

[NTG-context] \activatespacehandler
Hi,
\activatespacehandler{on} does not work in MkIV. I guess that this is
because \controlspace does not give the right glyph in MkIV, possibly
because, in opentype fonts, \char 32 is the same as regular space.
Any idea how to fix this? Is there a unicode character for visible space.
A discussion on the xetex mailing list suggests
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2006-February/003095.html 0x2423, but
that looks very different from \tt\char 32.

gives a result where there is new line between overfull and hbox in normal mode and between be and

Is there a way how to avoid this, how to force continuing on the same line?
Add “space=fixed” to your setup.
Why does activatespacehandler behave differently.

\activatespacehandler{fixed}
A very very very very very very very very very very very very very long line to
