[NTG-context] Visually balanced columns
Hi list, I'd like to know if its is possible to get visually balanced mixedcolumns in lmtx. For example, if I have \blank's between paragraphs, I would like them to be stretched or expanded by a such way that the bottommost lines have the same vertical position -- no matter, how many lines there are in each column and how exactly they are aligned. If I understand correctly, that's how the multicols environment in LaTeX works, and that's how old-multicolumns worked -- but this module seems to be no longer supported in lmtx. I tried to disable gridfitting for startcolumns, but it produces a completely distorted output. -- Regards, Alexey Kryukov Moscow State University Faculty of History ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://mailman.ntg.nl/mailman3/lists/ntg-context.ntg.nl webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / https://context.aanhet.net (mirror) archive : https://github.com/contextgarden/context wiki : https://wiki.contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Disable continued captions for table parts
Dear list, probably a stupid question, but is it possible to have a table splitted across pages without adding labels to all subsequent table parts except the first one? In my book I have captions above tables (\setupcaption[table][location=top]), so they are expected to behave like normal heading. With this type of formatting any "continued" marks would look weird. -- Regards, Alexey Kryukov Moscow State University Faculty of History ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___

Basically I would like to typeset a document represented as TEI xml. Unfortunately, TEI support for table typesetting is rather limited: there are no tags corresponding to table head of body. It is only possible to specify a specific role for some rows. So I have to use lua code to add head/body markup where appropriate, and that's exactly what I can't do due to the described problem. If there is no better solution, I can simply extend my xml with custom tags, but I would like to keep it as TEI compliant as possible. -- Regards, Alexey Kryukov Moscow State University Faculty of History ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Table head/body via lua
Hi,
I am trying to generate a table representation for some xml source.
As the data structure doesn't directly correspond to the desired table
structure, some manipulations via lua are required. So far everything
works OK except table sectioning commands, like \bTABLEhead,
\eTABLEhead, bTABLEbody or \eTABLEbody: it seems impossible to
incapsulate them into lua functions. For example, the following is not
compiled:
\starttext
\bTABLE
\ctxlua{context.bTABLEbody()}
\bTR
\bTD Cell 1\eTD
\bTD Cell 2\eTD
\eTR
\ctxlua{context.eTABLEbody()}
\eTABLE
\stoptext
Can anybody suggest a workaround (except changing the source XML of
course)?

Using [top,force] just causes context to break the text flow at the place where the image is specified.

Also it seems the [force] flag causes the [page] flag to be ignored: here the second and third images are positioned as if [top] has been specified, but, again, there is no text under the second image, as in the file is followed by the third image, which goes to the next page. -- Regards, Alexey Kryukov Moscow State University Faculty of History ___ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] Float positioning
Hi Tomas,
thank you for your answer.
Yes, I tried leftpage/rightpage: this removes the blank page, but may
cause images to be reordered (so that e. g. 3 goes before 2), which is
completely unacceptable IMO.
Also, this doesn't help with the text flow at the page where the first
image is positioned (still no text below the image).

[NTG-context] Header after a chapter title
Dear list,
sorry for probably a stupid question. The problem looks obvious, but I
could not find a solution by googling the list archive. Suppose I want
to have a chapter head on a separate page. The chapter includes some
sections, each starting from its own page too (so I don't want a
header on the pages where a section starts). The following example
is simplified (I actually have a 'command' option for chapters):
\setuphead[chapter][
after={\page[empty,odd]},
page=odd,
header=empty,
]
\setuphead[section][
page=yes,
header=empty,
]
\starttext
\startbodymatter
\chapter{My Chapter}
\section{My First Section}
\input{knuth}
\section{My Second Section}
\input{knuth}
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext
Now you can see that the "header=empty" setting is ignored for the
first section (one immediately following the chapter head). So, how
can I get rid of the header in this case?

[NTG-context] setupalign and flushbottom
Dear list,
according to the wiki and the ConTeXt manual, the ConTeXt equivalent
for the LaTeX \flushbottom command is \setupalign[line]. However in my
tests this setting doesn't have the desired effect. For example:
\setuplayout[height=720pt]
\setuphead[subject][before={\vskip4pt plus 1fil},after={\blank[small]}]
\setupalign[line]
\showgrid
\starttext
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth}
\subject{My Subject}
\dorecurse{8}{\input knuth}
\stoptext
Here at the first page there is a small gap between the last line and
the page border, although the glue above the heading can safely be
expanded to make the page filled. However I do get the desired result if
I replace \setupalign [line] with a low-level command (\alignbottom).
So what is the correct way to get pages bottom-aligned in MKIV?

[NTG-context] \placeinitial after a heading
Hi,
If I attempt to insert a drop cap after a heading while the paragraph
indentation is enabled, I get the following effect: all lines the drop
cap spans except the first one (e. g. second and third in case of n=3)
get an additional indent, equal to the \parindent. For example:
\setupinitial[font=Bold sa 4,n=3]
\setupindenting[yes,1em]
\starttext
\section{Knuth}
\placeinitial
\input knuth
\stoptext
I suppose this is not the intended behavior :) The problem doesn't
occur if I enable indenting also for the first paragraph after the
heading, but in this case, of course, the drop cap itself is indented
together with its adjacent lines. So the following workaround is
possible:
\setupinitial[font=Bold sa 4,n=3,
hoffset=\parindent,distance=-\parindent]
\setuphead[section][indentnext=yes]
Nevertheless it would be nice if this issue could be fixed.
Also, is it possible to explicitly apply case conversion commands to a
drop cap? Setting the 'style' option to \WORD or \word currently seems
to have no effect.

Well, I actually don't need floats, because each image has a fixed
position. However the problem is to get captions properly formatted and
numbered. Again, in LaTeX it would be easy to output captions
separately from the corresponding images, but I haven't found how to do
that in ConTeXt. That's what causes me to use floats (and pack them
into floatcombinations if necessary).
anyway ... you have more chance onan answer if you provide small
examples
My code currently looks like the following:
\defineparagraphs[DoubleL][n=2]
\starttext
\centerline{\rotate[rotation=90]{
\startDoubleL
\placefigure[force]
{My first caption}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=3in]}
\nextDoubleL
\placefigure[force]
{My second caption}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=1in]}
\placefigure[force]
{My third caption}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=1in]}
\stopDoubleL
}}
\stoptext
As I have explained, this works, but it would prefer to use a
floatcombination syntax to describe this type of layout just like I
would use it for two images placed side-by-side. I. e. it would be nice
if ConTeXt supported something like the following:
\startfloatcombination[2*1]
\placefigure[force]
{My first caption}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=3in]}
\startfloatcombination[1*2]
\placefigure[force]
{My second caption}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=1in]}
\placefigure[force]
{My third caption}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=1in]}
\stopfloatcombination
\stopfloatcombination
Another small problem is that combinations and floatcombinations,
unlike single floats, have no 'rotation' parameter, so that I have to
embed them into a rotation command. This seems just a bit inconsistent.

[NTG-context] Some questions on float combinations
Hi all, recently I finished typesetting a block of inset illustrations for a journal on history, which I first implemented in LaTeX and then moved to ConTeXt (I am using a version from TeXLive 2013 packaged with openSUSE 13.1). Basically I am greatly satisfied with the result, as the code looks much clearer now. However, I still see some things which can be done in LaTeX by a more natural way. First of all, is there a dedicated method to rotate an entire combination or floatcombination by 90 degrees? I see floats have a special option to control this, but float combinations don't (am I right here?). And if I enclose a float combination into a \rotate command, then the height of the rotated block seems to be incorrectly calculated, so that about a half of the block goes outside of the upper page boundary. Second, not all image combinations can be described by a simple matrix, and the documentation doesn't explain what to do in such more complex cases (nor the Wiki does). For example, in my document some pages have three images ordered in two columns: one relatively tall image side-by-side with two smaller ones. To make the things worse such combinations are usually placed on landscape pages. The obvious solution here seems to be to somewhow group two smaller images and then put them into a float combination. Unfortunately, this doesn't work, as floatcombination seems to ignore all enclosed boxing commands/environments and even nested float combinations. Finally I managed to achieve the desired layout by defining a set of parallel paragraphs, which fortunately worked even inside a \rotate command (columns and columnsets with embedded floats didn't). Still it would be nice to have a special interface allowing to combine floats and float combinations into larger blocks. -- Regards, Alexey Kryukov anagnost at yandex dot ru Moscow State University Faculty of History ___ 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 ___
