[NTG-context] outer floats on doublesided pages
Dear all,
I have problems with the placement of floats. I need them to be placed in the
outer edge of the text, but Context puts them in the middle of the page. The
outer, inner, outeredge, inneredge, commands do not work. Right and left do
work.
Preferably the criterium option should also work, e.g. criterium=0.67.
A minimal test file is attached. Try it out with a dummy, or with cow picture,
or with any other picture of your liking.
I updated my context installation today to a bèta version. The version is:
2013.08.30 02.05.
All help is welcome!
Many thanks in advance,
Robert

When the first volume of Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming was
published in 1969, it was typeset using hot metal type set by a Monotype
Corporation typecaster with a hot metal typesetting machine from the 19th
century which produced a good classic style appreciated by Knuth. When the
second edition of the second volume was published, in 1976, the whole book had
to be typeset again because the Monotype technology had been largely replaced
by photographic techniques, and the original fonts were no longer available.[4]
When Knuth received the galley proofs of the new book on 30 March 1977, he
found them awful.[5] Around that time, Knuth saw for the first time the output
of a high-quality digital typesetting system, and became interested in digital
typography. The disappointing galley proofs gave him the final motivation to
solve the problem at hand once and for all by designing his own typesetting
system. On 13 May 1977, he wrote a memo to himself describing the basic
features of TeX.[6]
\placeedgefigure[][]{}{\framed[frame=off]{\externalfigure[cow][scale=150]}}
He planned to finish it on his sabbatical in 1978, but as it happened the
language was not frozen until 1989, more than ten years later. Guy Steele
happened to be at Stanford during the summer of 1978, when Knuth was developing
his first version of TeX. When Steele returned to MIT that autumn, he rewrote
TeX's I/O to run under the ITS operating system. The first version of TeX was
written in the SAIL programming language to run on a PDP-10 under Stanford's
WAITS operating system. For later versions of TeX, Knuth invented the concept
of literate programming, a way of producing compilable source code and
cross-linked documentation typeset in TeX from the same original file. The
language used is called WEB and produces programs in DEC PDP-10 Pascal.

Re: [NTG-context] EPUB XHTML Format

Problem solved? ;-) ConTeXT TeX reading xml - export - optional transform - EPUB + CSS* you want 'direct epub html from context' (no xslt) but on the other hand use xslt to map onto context while context can do xml directly ... chicken egg Well, given that ConTeXt doesn't actually produce validating EPUB documents, I suspect not many people will actually use that feature. It's great in theory, but if it produces books that don't actually work on the Kindle or Kobo, then it's unusable in practice -- never mind not being able to add the books to online marketplaces (such as Amazon) because, again, the output does not validate. context doesn't produce epub (which at this moment is so floating that i would keep updating, which is fine if i'd use it myself or in projects at pragma, but not for the sake of keeping up) but does an export to xml (*.export) as a bonus it can output some extra stuff so that in a browser that can deal with xml+css (and a few xhtml tags for hyperlinks) we can preview then there is mtx-epub that can make an epub but that is a moving target (at some point we stopped extending waiting for a decent standard) so, i'd never claim that context produces epub but it can be used in a workflow that involves epub as it outputs xml which can be transformed supporting all variants of epub in the backend would be the same as hardcoding all kind of xml dts in the frontend (docbook, tei, whatever); instead we provide a general xml handler and a general xml export Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ 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 ___

Thanks, Hans, It is possible to get it working this way, however, only with juggeling with the height of the image. The pagenumber can still be seen with some values 0.98/0.99\teksthoogte (necessary for positioning/centering the image vertically) (only?) at page 1. Gr. Ernst.

Re: [NTG-context] EPUB XHTML Format
Hi, so, i'd never claim that context produces epub but it can be used in a workflow that involves epub as it outputs xml which can be transformed That's a distinction that either might not matter or sometimes is lost: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/17642/2148 http://wiki.contextgarden.net/epub ConTeXt has preliminary epub http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUBsupport... Does ConTeXt refer to a suite of tools, or only the context command? Either way, it appears that the line between the command and the tool set is blurred a bit. This is completely understandable, too, as you wouldn't want to write, the ConTeXt suite of tools includes a command, mtxrun, that can produce EPUB files all the time when talking about EPUBs. supporting all variants of epub in the backend would be the same as hardcoding all kind of xml dts in the frontend (docbook, tei, whatever); instead we provide a general xml handler and a general xml export That paragraph would be an excellent addition to the wiki; not sure where though.

Thanks, perfect.
But why (by default) it breaks the page and with simple \title does not do?
