[NTG-context] Vertically Aligning inmargin Text to Figure
Hi,
I need to associate a bit of text with a figure in a book. The text is
not---and cannot be---the figure caption (it's providing some explanation with
respect to some labels in the figure). I have tried the following based on some
other post on the mailing list:
\definepapersize[eightsquare][width=8in, height=8in]
\setuppapersize[eightsquare]
\setuplayout[
location=doublesided, marking=on, backspace=43mm, leftmargin=18mm,
leftmargindistance=4mm, rightmargin=35mm, rightmargindistance=4mm,
rightedgewidth=6mm,
topspace=12mm, header=15mm, footer=15mm, height=179mm, width=115mm
]
\starttext
\startplacefigure[location=force, title={First dummy caption}]
\inmargin{First margin dummy}
\externalfigure[dummy][width=115mm]
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext
However, that results in the text being down the bottom of the figure. I need
the text to be vertically aligned with the top of the figure. I have attached
the resulting PDF for illustration purposes (is that okay on this mailing list?
It's very small).
Any hints would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Malte.

[NTG-context] SIMPLEFONTS MODULE
Hello everyone.I have a doubt about the simplefonts module. I need to compose a text in Spanish and Greek. I would use a font for the text in Spanish (LinuxLibertine O) and another for the Greek text (Bosporos). How should you configure the simplefontsmodule?Thank you.-- Manuel González Suárez ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

You can set the text in the margin with the second argument of
\startplacefigure.
\define\FigureText
{\dowithnextbox
{\startlinealignment[middle]
\copy\nextbox\rlap{\hskip\rightmargindistance\framed[frame=off,width=\rightmarginwidth,height=\nextboxht]{\floatuserdataparameter{text}}}
\stoplinealignment}
\hbox}
\setupfloat[figure][command=\FigureText]
\starttext
\startplacefigure[title=Dummy figure][text=Margin dummy]
\externalfigure[dummy][width=.8\textwidth]
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] table formatting mystery
Thankyou luigi. The suggestion provided below worked. I wish I understood
why context thought that a cell height to two rows were needed, but the
combination of \hbox and alignment of lohi is a reasonable workaround.

Hi Manuel,
\mainlanguage[es]
\setuplanguage[es][patterns={es,agr}]
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfontfallback[Bosporos][range={greekandcoptic, greekextended},
force=yes]
\setmainfont{LinuxLibertine O]
\starttext
\showhyphens{ἐλευθερία estimación}
\stoptext
If you load hyphenation patterns for ancient Greek and Spanish, you will
get correct hyphenation for both languages. (Hyphenation is right,
because this languages don't share any character.)
I hope it helps,
Pablo

[NTG-context] How do you customize the chapter number format?
I am trying to update the chapter number formatting for the chapter heading.
By default the numbering is like
1 First Chapter
1.1 First Section
I would like to change this to:
1.0 First Chapter
1.1 First Section
Adding the following command worked, except it did not change the numbering
in the table of contents:
\setuphead[chapter][numbercommand=\groupedcommand{}{.0\blank[2cm]}]
Any suggestions for how I change the numbering so that the 1.0 shows up in
the table of contents as well?
