Thanks Hans, while I did experiment I had no chance at divining the correct dimension distance=-\dimexpr\textwidth+2mm below. So, with that, my bare bones marginbar in the right margin could look like the one in the file below. Where do I squeeze in the alternative=1 option to get dotted lines?

Re: [NTG-context] Using the margin for two purposes
Thanks Aditya, my metapost skills will probably not suffice to start this from scratch, but your hints made me dig around in the sources a little, and in mp-apos.mpiv I found anch_sidebars_draw which not only draws the straight marginrules but also dotted ones, to be invoked with \startmarginrule[2,alternative=1]. This confirms my suspicion that Hans has a time machine that allows him to implement features so that they are miraculously already available when requested. I then tried to play around with this function a little, e.g. changing dashed (withdots scaled (linewidth*2)) to dashed evenly but, to my embarrassment, it didn’t have any effect.

Re: [NTG-context] Using the margin for two purposes
Thanks Rik, that is very helpful. Now I am having some difficulties with coordinating the \inmargins with the marginrules. In the example below, I notice the oddity that \startmarginrule[2] is closer to the text than \startmarginrule[1] or \startmarginrule[3], which are at equal distance. I can live with that. There are only three things I’d like to improve: i) I’d like to put my default \inmargin arguments into the setup, but I can’t figure out whether to use \setupinmargin or \setupinmargindata, and where to put the arguments. ii) Ideally I’d like to use a description to be able to write \startgreenline … \stopgreenline, and I have tried this with \setupdescription, but failed. iii) Dream: Instead of solid margin rules I would love to have other options, like squiggly lines, dashed, dotted.

[NTG-context] Using the margin for two purposes
Dear All, I would like to use the margin for two different purposes: For brief notes, using \inmargin, and to mark entire paragraphs sections of the text with vertical lines.

But I also want to have the \inmargin notes to be lined up properly. So it looks like I would need to divide the margin into two horizontally separate regions. On left pages, the left region would be used for the \inmargin notes, and the (very thin) right region would be used for the vertical features (squigglyline and thinline). For right pages the other way around. Of course I’d also like the vertical features to extend across pages, if needed.

[NTG-context] Arranging framed text without gaps
Dear all, I am trying to create a table where the entries have determined width and height. They typically are something like \framed[width=5cm,height=4cm,align={center,middle}{Text} and I understand that I will be responsible for making the dimensions so that everything fits nicely. After playing around without much success with the various tables, I came up with the following which is not exactly ConTeXt-like: \setupframed[ width=5cm, height=4cm, location={middle}, align={center,middle} ] \setupbodyfont[24pt] \starttext \hbox{{\framed{Jim}}{\framed{Mary}}{\framed{John}}} \hbox{{\framed{Patsy}}{\framed{Bob}}{\framed{Linda}}} \hbox{{\framed{Mike}}{\framed{Babsy}}{\framed{Bill}}} \hbox{{\framed{Liz}}{\framed{Dave}}{\framed{Jenny}}} \hbox{{\framed{Dick}}{\framed{Sue}}{\framed{Chuck}}} \hbox{{\framed{Maggie}}{\framed{Joe}}{\framed{Dolley}}} \hbox{{\framed{Tom}}{\framed{Lisa}}{\framed{Chris}}} \hbox{{\framed{Nancy}}{\framed{Paul}}{\framed{Betty}}} \stoptext I get small gaps between the horizontal rows which I don't like. Also, in my (possibly not quite up to date) MkIV, the texts isn't centered. In MkII it is. My questions: How do I -- achieve the desired layout (exact dimensions, frames, no gaps) the right way, -- without gaps between horizontal rows -- with text centered in the frames also in MkIV?

Dear all, I hope this doesn't get me banned from the ConTeXt list. What is the easiest/best way to add emoticons in ConTeXt as letters/symbols?

Re: [NTG-context] Was: Opening external documents ... -> Can ConTeXt reduce size of images?
Thanks Wolfgang - I believed that the question was easy enough as is, but that was of course short sighted. The problem I described does not arise when one just typesets the file, everything is good. What I did was to reduce its file size using OS X's preview. This has apparently been "improved" so that it changes the behavior wrt external links. In case somebody wants to try: Typeset \setupinteraction[page=yes,state=start] \starttext \goto{click}[program(test.tex)] \stoptext Open test.pdf with Acrobat. Clicking on "click" opens test.tex with your designated TeX editor. Close file in Acrobat. Open test.pdf in Preview (OS 10.8, I am sure it behaved differently in earlier versions). Export with "reduce file size" as option checked Open exported file in Acrobat. Clicking on "click" will try to access the absolute file path of the previously relative link. In the best case, the finder will point to that file (instead of opening it). In the worst case, it will not be found. So, this clearly is not a ConTeXt problem. But it causes me major headaches. In my workflow, I have dozens of images that I prepare with Adobe Illustrator and save as pdf files that are still editable with Illustrator, i.e. that include another copy of the file with layers etc. In other words, my pdf images are about 10 times as big as they need to be. I usually just reduce the file size with preview. As this seems to be erroneous now, I am wondering: Is there an option in \externalfigure that will strip everything redundant from a pdf file?

It was never a problem in TeX to modify the control characters used according to your own pleasure.

[NTG-context] ConTeXt in the Cloud?
Dear All, as the proud owner of one of these tablet thingies I am trying to make it as TeX-friendly as possible. Because the chances of running TeX on it are slim, I've been looking at alternatives. The major goal would be to be able to create a presentation in ConTeXt on a tablet. For LaTeX, there is a cloud based services called ScribTeX, which allows you to store (in the free version) up to three projects with up to 50MB space in the cloud, and have it LaTeXed. As their cloud can be accessed via an App, you can edit the files on your tablet, send them to the cloud, have them TeXed, and download the pdf. I am tempted to contact the ScribTeX people and ask them to suport ConTeXt as well, but as I am just a little user and wouldn't have a clue about legalities, technicalities, etc, I thought I might ask here first. Thanks!

[NTG-context] convert color to black and white documents
Dear all, I am working on a text with plenty of figures, using modes to create both a screen and a print version. For the print version, which will be printed in black and white, I'd like to have all colors (including those of the figures) to be converted to grayscale so that I can softproof the document. Is there a way to do that in ConTeXt? I realize that these are multiple problems, addressing the conversion of the figures as well as the conversion of colored texts and other decorations that are done within ConTeXt.

Re: [NTG-context] Placing text in the margin of a header or the top right corner of a page
Fascinating. Thanks a lot. That is more than I hoped for, and was easy to adapt to what I wanted. One small issue: There is a tiny gap between the black layer box and the right margin (in white) that doesn't even disappear when I increase hoffset. Any chance to make that disappear, too?

[NTG-context] MK IV new install /Mac OS X
Dear all, I've been trying to install the TeX minimals on a new Mac. While MK II works, not so MK IV. I get the error message MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' Here is what I did: Downloaded TeXLive 2010 Then followed the instructions at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals/Mac_Installation I did this a few years back without a hitch, so I am wondering what is different now. In any case, in the above instructions, under Configuring ConTeXt, instep 4, the copies file has already the indicated changes in it. I used the same paths as indicated and ran luatools --generate as well as context --make Everything went ok without error messages. I then configured TeXShop as explained.

[NTG-context] Automatic cross reference to next page at automatic page breaks only
Dear all, I am trying to create a screen document that relies entirely on navigation via links. A typically page has several cross references in it the reader has to choose from (think of multiple choice tests). Occasionally, a page is too long to fit on a single screen. I would like to have a link to the next page at the bottom right corner of the screen whenever a page break occurs that is not forced via say a new section. In other words, whenever *automatic* page breaks occur, I want that extra link in the footer. In all other cases, I have my own manual links. Any ideas?

Re: [NTG-context] slightly OT: tablets
Hi Thomas, you can even do presentations of PDFs with an iPod touch. You will need a dock connector/ TV out cable (http://support.apple.com/kb/ ht1454). In iOS 4, you have direct support of PDFs, i.e. you can copy PDFs directly to your iPod. Before that, you needed a separate app to view PDFs. As for PDF features, you'll be somewhat limited as to what the viewers support. For instance, movies within PDFs won't work. Also, I don't think there is a way to use clickers to control the iPod/ iPad. Matthias On Jul 19, 2010, at 1:51 PM, Thomas A.

[NTG-context] Indents, enumerations, and modes (mk2+mk4)
Dear all, I have two questions regarding using spacing in enumerations. Depending on a mode being enabled, I would like to add a command at the beginning of an enumeration (I want to place something in the margin, but it doesn't actually matter what I do, only when). As shown in the minimal example below, invoking the macro that does something, a little extra space is added. I don't know why, it is probably something very TeX-basic I am ignorant of. So: How do I get rid of the extra space? The problem occurs both in mk2 and mk4, I would prefer a solution that also works in mk2. Thanks!

[NTG-context] Where is the cow?
Dear all, maybe a catchy subject line will get attention -:) Indeed, the cow seems to be missing in mk2 and is overly present in mk4 in the sense that my own image cow.jpg within the same directory as the document below gets ignored in favor of the cow that's present in the mk4 minimals. These are minor issues, as it is relatively unlikely that I will need to include images of cows in my documents in the near future. What is bothering me however is my inability to combine figures properly together with text in a controlled manner. I have a bunch ow smallish images (let's call them cows) which I'd like to have surrounded by text. I am happy and actually prefer to do this manually instead of keeping my fingers crossed that some automatic algorithm will do the job, but for that I need to know how which version of ConTeXt is placing the figures. What would work for me: A way to split the text width into chunks that have fixed widths, and fill these chunks individually and vertically with figures or text. This might be possible with tables, but there should be a simpler way. Below are my attempts so far - with very frustrating results, both in mk2 and mk4.

Re: [NTG-context] distro info
For a while I thought it doesn't make sense for me to add to this thread, but there appears to be a complete ignorance among many power ConTeXt users about "abnormal" ways to use ConTeXt, and maybe even computers. I believe that there are keyboard people and mouse people. I myself am mostly a mouse person. Nevertheless, TeX has its appeal to me, besides its math typesetting competence. I love to formulate what I write while I am typing, and because I type slowly, this works quite well. I found that wysiwyg systems distract me from finding good formulations, because I pay too much attention to the layout while typing. After producing the content, it is quite easy to change the layout, and I like to do that, too -- but it is a totally different activity. I found ConTeXt to be more satisfying than LaTeX here, for several reasons. One of them is that if I want to achieve something new in LaTeX, I typically have to choose (carefullly) between several different packages, with the danger of breaking something else or to run into limitations. With ConTeXt, the "Garden" is a great resource, and if everything else fails, one can ask on this friendly list... No my confession: I hate digging around in the TeX tree, or compile new versions, etc. While I have done all this, sometimes successfully, sometimes not, I just don't need to do it often enough that I have become familiar enough with the pitfalls so that I can overcome potential problems. My memory is so bad that something I don't do at least weekly will just disappear, and I don't have enough time to exercise the unix installation yoga weekly. Hence I have been living with the TeXLive ConTeXt distribution(on a Mac) for a while, always afraid that the answer to a problem will be "just upgrade to the newest nightly built". I am sure I am not the only one. But I do not complain. ConTeXt is great, but has a long way to go until Hans and company can afford dealing with a larger user base -- when the volume of this mailing list doubles, it will become completely useless to new users.

Re: [NTG-context] InDesign/InCopy vs. TeX and friends
One thing that hasn't been emphasized enough in this thread is the beneficial effect of TeX for the scientific community, in particular the mathematical, physical, and chemical sciences. TeX has made it possible to easily&freely prepare and distribute manuscripts. There even is a preprint server (www.arxiv.org) that accepts mostly TeX, giving worldwide access to many papers that would after their publication only be available through expensive journals. I don't know whether anybody has ever estimated the costs that all these benefits would have if one was using alternatives to TeX. It must be in the billions of dollars. Besides the ability of TeX to typeset formulas and its costs, it is its level of standardization that makes it so useful for scientists: TeX is an extremely well-defined system. My 15 year old TeX files still `TeX', despite changing computers and operating systems multiple times. The only drawback for the scientific community is that there is no easy way to parse TeX into Mathematics, i.e. make the formulas one can typeset intelligible to a computer algebra system. This is of course possible now with MathML.

[NTG-context] Presentation style problem
Hello, I've been using the "green" presentation style aka s-pre-02 in a few presentations. When I typeset these now, using ConTeXt ver: 2007.04.17 12:51 MKII fmt: 2007.5.18 int: english/english, (or LiveConTeXt as of today), the text runs right up to the green rectangle, leaving no margin (left, right, top, bottom). I have fiddled with various options of \setuplayout to not much avail, curiously repeated typesetting gives different results (which stabilize after the second pass). I am once again looking for the right incantation to get the text back nicely into its frame. Thanks, Matthias \usemodule[pre-green] %\setuplayout[leftmargin=.5cm,rightmargin=.5cm] \starttext \TitlePage{Title Page\\pre-green} \Topics{Some Nice Quotes} \Topic{A Few} \Subject{Knuth} \input knuth \Subject{Tufte} \input tufte \Topic{Some More} \Subject{Zapf} \input zapf \Subject{Bryson} \input bryson \stoptext ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] gwTeX problem
If you don't need the very very latest version, do yourself a favor and download the gwTeX installer from http://www.tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html It's big, but it does it with one click, and it's only a month old.

[NTG-context] testing for broken links to external documents
Dear all, is there a simple TeX/ConTeXt way to test in a TeX file whether a link to an external document is broken so that I get an error message if not? I am using numerous links to external files (on my hard drive) and I'd like to make sure that none of the links are broken without going manually trough them. Though not an issue at this point, and probably more complicated: Can one also check for broken links to web pages? I don't even know whether that's possible in Acrobat or whether there are tools out there that do that.

Re: [NTG-context] GWTEX -- Uninstall before installing the new?
I did both, and both work methods work - I haven't tried to reuse the deprecated version though. You have to change in TeXshop the engine from /usr/local/teTeX/bin/ powerpc-apple-darwin-current to /usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple- darwin-current to make it work. If you modified your TeX installation, you might need to do a little more work...

Re: [NTG-context] Printing ConTeXt books on Lulu? (Was: A new manual)
Not unless the copyright holders submit the material to Lulu. In short, Lulu.com is a print-on-demand publisher with no costs involved for the author: He or she uploads a 'book', specifies bindings and his/her royalties, and if someone purchases the book, it is printed and send to the person. A percentage o the royalties goes to Lulu. In particular, one can choose to publish a book w/o royalties, then it will only cost the printing expenses. Downloads just cost the royalties, if permitted. Finally, the author can choose among a range of copyright options.

[NTG-context] CoNTeXt on Mac OS X with iinstaller still broken
Dear Mac-ConTeXt users (and other experts), I typically upgrade my least used Mac (my laptop) to the newest ConTeXt release first, and only go ahead with the desktop when my projects compile fine. Otherwise, I usually wait until the more proficient users have sorted things out. Now, for a while, the iinstaller ConTeXt version has been broken. While there have been numerous reports and workaround and fixes on this list, it would be most convenient to have iinstaller working again (or another foolproof solution). For reference, I attach the log file for \starttext ffi \stoptext which shows that ligatures aren't shown. Thanks in advance!

Re: [NTG-context] Angle braces?
Hi, this depends -- different fonts contain different kinds of 'angle braces', depending on their purpose. Do you want them for (french style) quotations, or for typesetting math? The following is a set of examples -- they might look very different with other fonts. Matthias (\langle and \rangle is math mode only I believe) \setuplanguage [en] [rightquote=\rightguillemot,leftquote= \leftguillemot] \starttext foo \leftguillemot bar\rightguillemot{} foo \leftsubguillemot bar\rightsubguillemot{} foo $\langle \text{bar}\rangle$ foo. foo \quote{bar} foo \stoptext On Jun 7, 2006, at 3:35 AM, Steven Robertson wrote: > Hi, > > Annoyingly simple question -- apologies -- but I'm having no luck from > the web.

Re: [NTG-context] Accessing local files -- relative file names?
Thanks Willi,I mistakenly believed \goto only works within one document.My current solution is to use\goto{3DXM}[program(/test/cycloids.ODE3D)]which works in Acrobat (not in preview though, which is something I can live with)and TeXShop.Curiously enough, if I use relative file names, they still work in Acrobat but not inTeXShop anymore...Thanks again!MatthiasOn May 3, 2006, at 12:18 PM, Willi Egger wrote:Please look the details up in the widget-manual ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
