[NTG-context] Centering and splitting a table
Hi, it's me again, with another problem. I want to typeset very simple tables. Each table system is ok, because I need very simple tables, as long as I can split the table in multiple pages and repeat the header in multiple pages, so it should be ok to use Tabulate, Tables, TABLE and Linetable. I can typeset a similar table easily, but I want to center the table horizontally in the page. I can box the table (with an hbox or a vbox) and then center the box, but in this way the box won't split in multiple pages. I think that floatings aren't the solution, too, because I need the table exactly in place (I understand that the "here" placement don't give me that guaranty, but I'm not totally sure). I've at least a solution in my mind, but that requires too much work, so I hope that there is a simple one. Thanks in advance.

your example works as expected here (tested with 08.11.2011 and 02.01.2012).
1 knockout (default)
2 overprinting
3 knockout (explicitly set)
as long as you use the second form, there shouldn't be a problem.

[NTG-context] CMYK and Linux
I am working with Linux and it seems to be a littlebit
difficult to test if a resulting PDF from Context is cmyk (I
don't have Adobe).
With the frontend "display" from Imagemagick I get the
following information about the pdf:
Type=PaplatteMatte
Colorspace=RGB
Debth=16/8-bit
Hasn't the PDF to be Colorspace=CMYK?
Here is what I did:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definecolor[myc] [c=.30, m=.60, y=.60, k=0]
\starttext
{\color[myc] Only some words}
\page

Ho can I say to ConText: This PDF has to be CMYK?

As you can in the example below the font is stretched to the given value
but the problem when you copy the text can be in the algorithm Adobe Reader
use to determine spaces in the text.

[NTG-context] typesetting bilingual texts
Hi there, I'm trying to understand how to typeset bilingual texts with ConTeXt. I'm new to ConTeXt and this is my third try to explain my questions on the matter. I'm afraid that I can't find the right documentation on it (or I wouldn't understand it, if I found it). If what I say is wrong (or I'm doing something wrong here), please tell me. On bilingual texts typesetting, I have the following examples: -Homer's “Iliad” and “Odyssey”: Greek text and translation. Original verse text and facing prose translation. Same numbers of paragraphs and titles (although Greek titles may contain only the number and translated titles may contain also text). -Hegel's »Phänomenologie des Geistes«: German text and translation. Same number of paragraphs and titles. -Goethe's “Faust”: Original text and facing verse translation. Same numbers of paragraphs and verses. Notes (marginal, footnotes, endnotes) might differ in the original and translated versions. Both body texts are similar in separation (paragraphs and titles). >From Wolfgang's example (http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/063353.html: the only document I have and that I cannot decipher), it seems that you have to type each translated paragraph after each original paragraph. Hegel's work cited above contains about 600 pages. Having to copy and paste every translated paragraph after every original paragraph sounds crazy (too much work). And as far as I understand computing, this shouldn't be a hard task to automatize. Hegel is only an example here, and having to mix both texts not only involves more work, but it might well lead to errors in the text itself (not typesetting, but typing). Not even asking about the code (yet): isn't it possible to typeset a bilingual document having separate streams that ConTeXt automatically synchronizes? And isn't it possible to have separate numbering for the original and translated streams?
