Re: [NTG-context] Learning about Kerning

[Michael Guravage]

Hi,

The appearance of a gap before the letter T has nothing to do with kerning
per se, but with my use of smallcaps and kerning.

I solved my problem by defining a font feature and applying it with the
\setff command as described on the wiki.

\setuplayout[header=0pt, footer=0pt]
\setupstretched[width=6.25cm]

\definefontfeature[smallcapitals] [smcp=yes]

\starttext
  \setuphead[subject][style=\setff{smallcapitals},
textstyle={\kerncharacters[.40]}]
  \startsubject[title={Properties of Blood}]
  \stopsubject


\setuphead[subject][style=\setff{smallcapitals},deeptextcommand={\kerncharacters[.40]}]
  \startsubject[title={Properties of Blood}]
  \stopsubject


\setuphead[subject][style=\setff{smallcapitals},deeptextcommand={\stretched}]
  \startsubject[title={Properties of Blood}]
  \stopsubject

\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] \doifnotmodeelse - undefined control sequence error?

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Thanx to Wolfgang and Aditya too,
I was a little confused, because in wiki is this command mentioned. 
Thanx for explanation and correction in wiki too.

Hello ConTeXist.

I do not know if I'm not mistake somewhere, but it seems to me that 
the macro \doifnotmodeelse does not work. Can anyone verify this?
There is no command with this name because there is no need for it 
and it won’t be different from \doifmodeelse with the exception that 
the second and third arguments are switched. Below is a short summary 
of the available mode tests.


The \doifmode{}{} command is used when you want to show/enable 
something when the requested mode is enabled.


The \doifnotmode{}{} command is used when you to show/enable 
something when the requested mode is disable or not set.


With the \doifelsemode{}{}{} (you can also use the alternative name 
\doifmodeelse) you can show/enable different things dependent whether 
the requested mode is enabled or disabled.


My bad. I thought that I had checked this when writing the article on 
modes. I'll update the wiki accordingly.


Aditya

[NTG-context] Learning about Kerning

[Michael Guravage]

Hi,

I am trying to use kerning in subject titles. \kernchracters works pretty
good, but as you can see in the attached example, there is a gap before the
Ts in Properties, and again in Praefatio and Praefationis. The \stretched
command yields similar results, vis-à-vis the gaps.

If somebody can enlighten me how to properly use kerning in this situation,
I'd be immeasurably grateful.

Cheers,

Michael

[NTG-context] \doifnotmodeelse - undefined control sequence error?

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello ConTeXist.

macro \doifnotmodeelse does not work. Can anyone verify this?



Jaroslav Hajtmar


Here is a simple example:


\enablemode[mymode]
% \disablemode[mymode]

\starttext

\startmode[mymode]
mode 'mymode' is enabled!
\stopmode

\startnotmode[mymode]
mode 'mymode' is disbled!
\stopnotmode


\doifmodeelse{mymode}{mode 'mymode' is enabled!}{mode 'mymode' is disbled!}

% Undefined control sequence error ???
% \doifnotmodeelse{mymode}{mode 'mymode' is disbled!}{mode 'mymode' is 
enabled!}



\stoptext
