[NTG-context] Text for proofing fonts
Hope all are keeping well. An interesting article about text for proofing fonts, although, regrettably, it is focused on English language only: https://www.typography.com/blog/text-for-proofing-fonts Might be worth a further look to see if they can be included in the distribution to expand our library of such texts. The texts are on github, but no mention of license: https://github.com/hoeflerco/proofs I am adding at least the links to staged wiki changes I am working on.

Re: [NTG-context] Tent style cards
Many thanks Wolfgang and Pablo.
And, Hans, I have already included this example for the Cookbook (with
the three differing solution), as you will see from the path name of the
attached PDF :).
Wolfgang, I just used your first solution, and it worked great. I don't
know whether the mailing-list daemon will let through a PDF, but I am
enclosing the current (almost final) version of the table place card
(with my daughter's name).
The figure to the left is an Apollonius Gasket of tangential circles
made with MetaPost signifying all the family connections that each
partner brings in creating a new union. The code is from Denis Roegel,
who quickly responded when I was unable to piece together a working
example from his 2005 TUGboat article:
https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb26-1/tb82roegel.pdf
I've resorted to layers with explicit positioning for now, as well as
having to compile the MetaPost explicitly and then hand edit out all
references to cmmr in the resulting PS, but at least I have a working
template.
If there are other suggestions to better optimize, I'm all ears. In
particular I would like to place each name vertically centred in right
one-third of the card, as well as using \startuseMPgraphic for direct
compilation from ConTeXt.
Many thanks for all the help.

[NTG-context] Tent style cards
Hello. I am trying to do up some tent style table place holder cards for my daughter's wedding, and have been wracking my brain for a solution for a couple of days now. Having tried many alternatives, this is the closest I have come up with. But mirroring doesn't work. If I use \setuparranging[2*4] mirroring works, but I only need tent style (1*2 head-to-head) so that I can trim to size. Any template that could be suggested would be most helpful as the wedding is on Mon (yikes!). advTHANKSance. >>>MWE<<< \definepapersize[tblcard][width=4in,height=3in] \setuppapersize[tblcard][letter,portrait] \setuparranging[2TOP] \setuplayout[ height=3in, width=4in, topspace=0in, header=0in, bottomspace=0in, footer=0in, backspace=0.0in, %% location=middle, marking=on, ] \startbuffer[tblcard] \strut \tfd A Name \stopbuffer \starttext \showframe \adaptpapersize[tblcard,mirrored][letter,portrait]\getbuffer[tblcard] \page \getbuffer[tblcard] \stoptext -- Pavneet Arora m: +1 647-406-6843 Waroc Informatike: pavneet_ar...@waroc.com ___ 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 ___
[NTG-context] Inline stacking of text
Really simple problem that has had me bashing my head for a while, so I
thought that I would reach out and ask for help:
I need to create large type title/sub-title combinations in-line. I
need the sub-titles to be stacked so that they share the same baseline
as the title. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get the baseline
alignment to work.
Also, I seem to have to add the '\setupwhitespace[-1.0em] to squish the
lines together. Is there a better way?
Appreciate any guidance.

Re: [NTG-context] Invoking ConTeXt from inside php web appliction
In principle this is workable up to the point that the output PDF needs to be handed off to the user. In my case, it is the (authenticated) parent who is requesting their child’s report card in one of two forms each of which is created dynamically at any point along the school “term”. The user is waiting for the output PDF from the browser. In Laravel this is accomplished by using: return response()->download($full_output_filename)->deleteFileAfterSend(true); whereupon the end user sees the familiar Open, Save, … dialogue. But the dispatcher pattern is very useful, and I like it very much. In another area, I use it to monitor a directory for forms input, which are done off-line on W10 tablets using a browser and the Mongoose lightweight httpd, and then uploaded using sftp (under Cygwin).

Re: [NTG-context] Invoking ConTeXt from inside php web appliction
I believe that public in this case refers to public assets such as CSS, js, etc., where one puts custom files rather than publicly accessible, e.g., wp-uploads for WordPress. In the case of most frameworks, URL access is limited to specified routes only which point to controller methods. ConTeXt, when installed in this manner, can only be run as www-data:www-data, i.e., by httpd. I wasn’t able to get it work using any of the other suggestions.

Re: [NTG-context] Orphans and widows for specific paragraph groups
I tried to use Aditya's suggestion (which was for Natural Tables) to
keep paragraphs on the same page:
\noindent{\blank[samepage]}
but I don't seem to have much success with the MWE I posted earlier.
Try as a might, I cannot seem to keep the paragraph head "{\ss\tfc
English (Grade 12)}" and the hairline together. I can, however, keep
the hairline and the following lorem text together, but I need all three
elements to float as a group: the paragraph header, hairline, and
paragraph body.
Would anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

[NTG-context] Specifying font style variant with \definefontfamily
I'm still a bit at a loss on how one goes about correctly specifying the variants in \definefontfamily using the default form given in the wiki.

[NTG-context] Orphans and widows for specific paragraph groups
I have a couple of questions about preventing orphans for specific
document blocks.
These all relate to a web-based report card application I have written
for a study abroad school client of mine. The ConTeXt file is being
generated and processed out of a PHP Laravel framework app.
I have stripped away most of the details as well as the application
fonts, but the issue that I am facing is related to keeping the course
header (done as a paragraph environment), \hairline, and the teacher's
comment for that course together as a unit.
At a minimum, I would like the three elements as a grouped and pushed to
the following page. Ideally, and this is more for my own learning, I'd
like to be able to have finer control---say the header, \hairline, and a
set number of comment lines would be acceptable at the bottom of a page.
What would be the best practices for this?

[NTG-context] \setupwhitespace and Natural Table paragraphs
I am trying to find the most effective way of changing paragraph spacing
for paragraphs inside table cells, without resorting to explicit \blank
directives.
Here is a MWE to show what I mean. Outside of the table, the paragraph
spacing seems to honour the \setupwhitespace directive. Not so inside
the table. Curiously, though, the default enumeration inside the table
*does* seem to honour \setupwhitespace, which you can affect using the
before, after and inbetween options, as shown in the commented
\startitemize line.

Re: [NTG-context] Template for handling editorial content in a large book project
Perfect. I think that modes will work nicely. To further explain my use case: I have a manuscript, which I would like to continue to evolve with editorial comments, suggestions, ideas for further development (some generated by the author, others by reviewers). At any given time the text of the document is lagging the editorial input. Revisions of the project are under mercurial source code control. The primary view of the document is to be a publication ready version, but in its draft form, the author's version should include the work-in-progress. Eventually, the editorial comments may diminish or be left for another day, and the work-in-progress will get incorporated into the main text. The publication view is useful if you have multiple people reviewing the book, and you don't want to proliferate the union of all editorial comments into the review copy. I wanted to capture this author-editor workflow under ConTeXt. I think modes will be just what I need. Thanks.

[NTG-context] Making \setupinterlinespace work with \switchtobodyfont
Hello,
I am trying to have inter-line space change according to the current
size of the body font, which I modify with \switchtobodyfont, but I
cannot seem to affect the desired change as per the MWE below.
\setupinterlinespace seems to take its lead from the original
\setupbodyfont directive in the document, and does not revise it even
when font size is changed.
Is there a prescribed method to properly use \setupinterlinespace (or
for that matter \setupwhitespace when switching font sizes?
Many thanks.

Re: [NTG-context] RAL colours
Again, thank you for educating me on these principles. This really is great stuff! Just the type of insight that I need. I am sure that many of us struggle with production issues and it would be good to develop design patterns on how to overcome them. In response to Luigi's follow up post, let me describe what I have done, and ask your opinions (and indulgence) as to its usefulness. Let me preface all this by pointing you to an old video from ATT archives, now to be found on YouTube where Brian Kernighan describes some of the distinctions of Unix. Although the entire video is worthwhile even at 27m+ long if you just want to skip to his part, that starts at the 4m09s mark. It is a nostalgic (but still valid) look at the elegance of pipes and redirection. Okay, what I have done is create two 'bash' scripts which rely heavily on 'sed' to massage the text data retrieved using 'w3m' to create suitable colo-imp-ral.mkiv (RAL Classic colours; 223 colours) and colo-imp-pantone.mkiv (Pantone Coated colours; 1341 colours) files on demand using the values found on Carlos Cabo's rgb.to website. The generated file for the RAL colours includes both the RAL number and the *English* name of the colour; one can easily modify the script to use a different language version of the name if so desired. So, for example: \definecolor[ral1000] [h=cdba88] \definecolor[greenbeige][h=cdba88] The script for the Pantone colours will only use the published name, whether it have a name or number or both. So Pantone Coated Orange 021 C will be found in the file as: \definecolor[pantoneorange-021-c] [h=fe5000] and Pantone Coated 801 C \definecolor[pantone801-c] [h=009ace] I won't, for the time being at least, publish the colour files in case there is any issue about the proprietary nature of colours, but offer up these two shell scripts. With these scripts one can generate the colour files as needed for personal use. If Hans feels that these scripts are appropriate to be published on the list, then I am happy to do so. I will wait to hear back. Best wishes. PS: I can already see some inconsistency in the sed processing as there is no dash prefix before 801...*sigh*. Will have to work on that ;).

Of course it’s possible to define a system of (anyhow) matching colors. But that’s so much a matter of taste and application that I wouldn’t start with such an enterprise. There are some good online tools that help you finding matching design colors, at least for (s)RGB, e.g. Adobe Kuler or paletton.com.

[NTG-context] RAL colours
Of and on, I have struggled to find a colour space that is expressive enough for printing, but convenient to access through ConTeXt for day-to-day usage. I find with X11 that the emphasis on screen skews the colours to be brighter than what is desired, especially if one is dealing with coloured stock---say beige kraft---as I am doing with my current bit of typesetting. In this process I have come across the RAL colour space: http://www.ral-farben.de/content/application-help/all-ral-colours-names/overview-ral-classic-colours.html whose values can be conveniently (sort of) accessed at: http://rgb.to/ral/page/1 For my immediate needs, I have simply created a set of: \definecolor[colourName][h=HH] However, I am wondering if it might make sense to have a colo-imp-ral.mkiv? So my questions would be: 1. Is the RAL colour space a decent one for printing purposes? What would be disadvantages, if not? 2. Does colo-imp-ral.mkiv exist already? 3. If not, would others find it useful to have a colo-imp-ral.mkiv? If it doesn't then I would be happy to prepare one and submit it.

Re: [NTG-context] RAL colours
Many thanks Hraban! This is great insight into the printing world. Of course, Pantone has a dominant position on this continent at least, but as you stated, its proprietary nature keeps the palette from being distributed easily. So the question remains: if the X11 colourspace is found inadequate, is there another one that we might look for inspiration to create decent spot colours for document processing? Even if RAL colours are used for varnish, does that mitigate the use of their RGB values for other paints? Note, that I am not seeking exact calibration of colours, say for branding across different media; just a more expressive palette for print applications. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the Adobe products that you mention, and in any case would just want a convenient set of colours inside ConTeXt to create documents on the fly. For this type of work, are there any other open source palettes that we might look towards? Warm regards.

A parallel to RAL in printing colors would be Pantone (or HKS in Germany, Toyo in Japan). But these are copyrighted, so we would be most probably not allowed to ship a library of these.

[NTG-context] Selecting fonts using the built-in simplefonts module
Hello everyone,
After a long time I have some typesetting work in front of me...yippeee!
I am struggling with adapting my templates to the new integrated
simplefonts module, and hope that someone can help.
The three issues I am having are:
1. How does one find the proper expanded long name of the desired font.
For this project, I am using some fonts from The League of Moveable
Type (https://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/).
I have reloaded the fonts, and can list them, in the traditional
manner. What I don't know is how to find the proper name for---say
Junction Light---to use as the third argument in
'\definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Junction Light]'
The use of 'Junction Light' doesn't work, and neither does
'Junction-Light', nor 'junctionlight', nor even 'Junction, Light'
which I retrieve from Font Viewer under Linux. MWE follows at the
end of this email. I reference Wolfgang's response stating that the
expanded name must be used
(http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2014/077321.html).

2. How does one switch fonts in-line for small snippets of text? I
used to use '{\simplefont[heydingsicons] q}123.345.67890', but this
now results in an error.
tex errorerror on line 7 in file virtual://buffer.noname.1: !
Undefined control sequence
l.7 {\simplefont [heydingsicons] q}~123.456.7890
{\simplefont[heydingsicons..
3. This may be a more generic typescript mapping issue, but I still
struggle with understanding font mappings. I don't quite get how
the default mappings are done.
Look, for example, at Junction above. 'junction' is mapped to
'junctionbold' rather than 'junctionregular'. Is this just done by
taking the first in the list in alphabetic order?
Or how the League Gothic font is processed below. How is it that
leaguegothic is mapped to leaguegothiccondenseditalic by default?
What is the recommended way in this new simplefont scheme to set the
mappings for a document?

When you use a symbol font define a command for it with \definesymbol and
access it with \symbol.
The example below uses the Font Awesome [1] font for the symbols (the symbols

Re: [NTG-context] Selecting fonts using the built-in simplefonts module
Dear Joerg, Thanks for your response. I am just going through the full thread, but in response to your question, I am using Ubuntu with Unity. I was using the GUI Font Viewer to inspect the font, but otfinfo is more to my liking. Having said that, here is its output with the '-a' option (-a, --family Report font’s family name.): $ otfinfo -a Junction-light.otf Junction Light So, it would seem that Junction Light is a valid 'expanded name' in the Junction Master series, although, of course, not the true family name. I am still digesting further the responses by Pablo and Wolfgang. Warm regards. On 29Mar15, Jörg Weger wrote: Your mistake was that you did not use the correct font family name in the third pair of square brackets. It is simply “Junction”. I have yet to find out if ConTeXt itself can show a font’s true family name. On Linux I am either using a command line tool called otfinfo (that also shows me what opentype features are there) or I open the font with fontforge (if I want to find out more about the details of opentype features) or I open it with mate-font-viewer (fork of gnome-font-viewer). In the latter the family name is shown in the first line on the right. Name: Junction What desktop environment are you using? As far as I have understood by default the built in font-selection module uses the “family members” named “Regular” and “Bold” of a selected font family, e.g. in \definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Junction] \ss gives Junction Regular and \ss \bf gives Junction Bold If you want to use different font weights you have to define them yourself in a fourth pair of square brackets. The League of Movable Type’s Junction font family offers three weights: Light, Regular and Bold. Assuming that you want to use Junction Light as your “regular sans serif” font and Junction Regular as your “bold sans serif” you define for sans serif: \definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Junction] [regularfont=Junction Light, boldfont=Junction Regular] Now \ss should give Junction Light and \ss \bf should give Junction Regular. You can define italics as well, as the following definition for Google’s Roboto shows where I am using light and black instead of regular and bold. (Junction does not offer italic or slanted, that is why I use Roboto as an example of a family with many weights and styles. https://developer.android.com/design/style/typography.html should have the reworked 2014 version for download.) \definefontfamily[mainface][ss][Roboto] [regularfont=Roboto Light, italicfont=Roboto Light Italic, boldfont=Roboto Black, bolditalicfont=Roboto Black Italic] (You could even mix weights and styles from different font families.) Hope that helps.

[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] OT: Putting a context to the 2013 ConTeXt Meeting location
I am so disappointed that I cannot attend the upcoming ConTeXt meeting in Brejlov, but as I type this I am remembering vividly the hospitality and affection shown by all at the 2010 meeting, especially Pavel's father, to this tee-totalling vegetarian---not something that lands up at the Brejlov Inn too often, I imagine! The reason for my absence this year is that I will be heading to India shortly to conduct what is known as antim yatra (final journey) in Hindi for my mother; I'll leave the details of what that implies to those who wish to search on DuckDuckGo ;). Anyway that is strictly an aside to this post. You'll have to forgive me if I am feeling sentimental, but Prague does, as it has throughout its history, enter one's soul. To walk through its streets is to be smitten by it for life. Recently I picked up a book that I would like to share as it may help provide a context to those travelling through Prague on their way to Brejlov. Prague: Capital of the Twentieth Century A Surrealist History by Derek Sayer All the best to those who are attending. I am envious!

Re: [NTG-context] columns vs. paragraphs, and a question about fillinrule
Sorry, I should have been more clear about the intended output.
In the most common case, I simply wanted side by side output: witnesses
in the left column, and testator in the right column. Rarely, is it
expected to traverse a page. The paragraph method does this; \paragraph
goes to the top of the next column. The columns method does not:
\column, at least for this combination of input, does not go to the top
of the next column, but rather pushes the subsequent input to the top of
the next page, which is not the intention.
So, the paragraph method produces the expected two-column layour
output while the columns method does not.
However, your tabulate method is perfect fine especially if one needs
the output to cross page boundaries.
Any idea to make fillinrules behave like a list, i.e., with the indices
hanging to the left of equal sized rules?
Thanks for your help.

Re: [NTG-context] Using \setupinterlinespace with \setuparranging[XY], and more
By chance I found a possible, but not very satisfying, solution to the
\setupinterlinspace issue when trying to print labels using
\setuparranging[XY]. That is to explicitly set
\setupbodyfont[rm,18pt]\setupinterlinespace
once again outside the \framed directive for the specific label as in the
following MWE.
I haven't seen any answers on my other two questions from the original
post (included down below), so if anyone has any ideas, I would be most
grateful.
MWE:
\definepapersize
[Label]
[width=4in,height=3.33in]
\setuppapersize[Label][letter,portrait]

\setupframedtexts

1. A difference between MAPS 37 and wiki entry for \setuppaper is the
inclusion of the following line in the later:

[NTG-context] Portrait vs. landscape orientation for Tabloid paper
I believe that the definitions for portrait and landscape orientation
for Tabloid/Ledger paper are flipped.
In the following MWE using Hans' clue to using \scaling directive, I am
having to specify landscape in order for the page to be set in portrait.
This observation is confirmed when I retrieve the document properties
using evince under Bodhi Linux and under Ubuntu 12.04 (ALTENTER
brings up the document properties). With this MWE, the properties under
both systems is shown as Tabloid, Portrait (11.00 x 17.00 inches)

[NTG-context] [***SPAM***] Scaling large (annotated) MetaFun drawing
[Sorry about the previous null message.]
Background:
Typically I use MetaPost to create small figures, which I then can scale
as needed in larger documents. These figures contain no text so I can
simply use the .eps output of mpost as an inclusion.
Recently, I have embarked on a large illustration replete with lots of
text labels. It is a distilled architectural drawing intended for
diagnostic and maintenance purposes. In it plumbing details are
overlaid over a layout. For simplicity, I standardized on unit size of
1cm so that co-ordinates can easily map from physical dimensions with
the unusual hybrid scale of 1cm=1ft ;)..
Status:
With this set unit size, my drawing has grown very large. My intent is
to get it printed on one of the (U.S.) based architectural paper sizes,
or if it can be made legible on U.S. Tabloid size paper (17 x 11)..
My first successful approach (and where I stand right now) is to simply
use \startMPpage and \stopMPpage to scale to the page.
Thera are a couple of issues, though, with this approach. First, I want
to add additional information to the page, other than what would be
handled by MetaPost, e.g., some tables, etc. Even without this
additional information, having the drawing scale to page size does not
give adequate margin buffering and if there are some labels right at the
edge, I have seen some clipping of the text.
Objective:
I would like to create a scalable drawing with all of its text
labels so that I can scale appropriately to different page sizes, and
also incorporate the illustration with other document elements.
From what I have read at:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MetaPost_in_ConTeXt
I think what I need is something akin to \startuseMPgraphic with a
scaling option if I want to include the code inline. Otherwise, the
drawing is clipped on the page.
Or perhaps I simply try to convert the existing PDF output to PS, and
then include it?
What I am hoping is to get a best practises workflow from the list so
that I can simply adopt it.
advTHANKSance.
Sample:
A MWE is found below:
\setuppapersize[tabloid,landscape][tabloid,landscape]
\starttext
\setupMPinstance
[metafun]
[extensions=yes,
initializations=yes,
textstyle=bold]
\startMPpage
u:=1cm;
pickup pencircle scaled 1pt;
draw (5u,0u) {dir 90}..(0u,5u) {dir 180};
draw (0u,5u) .. (-1.5u,10.5u) {dir 90} .. (0u,16u);
draw (0u,16u) {dir 0} .. (5u,21u) {dir 90};

Schultz keithjschu...@web.de: I am kind of confused about the relationship between luatex and ConTeXt. http://www.tug.org/levels.html ConTeXt MkIV needs LuaTeX. That's a somewhat confusing description. (1) Context is just a format, so it should be mentioned as format. (2) We call all instances context, i.e. we don't combine engine names with 'context' so there is no 'pdfcontext', although one could do that. (3) As there are language dependent user interfaces, we have more formats (cont-en, cont-nl, ...). (4) We use a management script to run the engine with the context format. Reasons for this are: we need to manage multiple runs, we might need to call intermediate programs (in mkii for instance we need to sort indices). (5) This also permits us to present to user with an engine independent call to context. In mkii we had 'texexec' (on top of a more generic script manager called texmfstart), in mkiv we have 'context' (and again a script manager called mtxrun). Now, to come to luatex: this project is quite related to context as it all started in the context community. We also use context for testing and exploring new functionality. For this we use mkiv/mkvi which is a rewrite of context using the full potential of luatex so that we can go beyond what traditional tex engines can do. We explicitly have chosen for a lua + tex combination so that we don't have to hardcode solutions in the engine (macro packages have too many conflicting demands anyway) and are more future proof. Given that mkii is frozen, and given that type1 fonts are sort of obsolete (context has always been an early adopter of lm and gyre fonts), and given that utf is the way to go (so no messing with input and font encodings any more), and given some more reasons, in practice users will no longer use pdftex and/or xetex but luatex. In that sense context depends on luatex and also keep the development of that engine going. The philosophy of context is that by having most functionality in the core, users can rather easy create their own styles (the average style has not that many lines anyway). I'm always sort of puzzled when I see remarks that context is close to plain, as I cannot see where that conclusion comes from. The whole reason that context exists is that I didn't want to hack around in low level style files and deal with funny commands having @ in their names.

I have a simple sign that I need to put together with a good title font. Since,
I have been looking for a project to try out LoMT's Gothic

be a perfect opportunity.
Unfortunately, I am getting some errors from LuaTeX that I am unable to
decipher. The context file compiles successfully with other fonts such as Museo
via the simplefonts mechanism. Note that the errors come after the message:
otf loading font loaded okay and seems related to the adobe glyph list,
which I am unfamiliar with.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [NTG-context] simpleslides help needed
Ah, I got it now!
\quotation is quite different from \{start|stop}quotation. I was attempting to
affect the changes using just \quotation{}, which has no (or in my case
asymmetrical and strange) effects on the margins, at least within simpleslides.
Now, I don't know whether there should be a difference in behaviour, but there
definitely is. When I simply integrated your \setupdelimitedtext and
\{start|stop}narrower into my existing slide presentation, there was no change.
As I kept reducing the presentation there still was no change in behaviour

Re: [NTG-context] simpleslides help needed
Yes, indeed the information is there. What makes the wiki sometime impenetrable is that doing a search, even a Google search, with keyword based or topic based queries rather than command based queries leads to varying results. You know what you want to do; you just don't know which commands will lead you to the result. Also just to clarify, as is my habit, I did search the wiki, and in this case I had even looked repeatedly at the hints. I just didn't catch the distinction in my own coding. I guess the trick is to know what commands one should hone in on ;). Regards.

Re: [NTG-context] simpleslides help needed
Dear Wolfgang,
I have tried what I believe to be the two approaches you suggested for
controlling the margins of a quotation:
1. Using the switches offered via \setupdelimitedtext in the \setupquotation
command:
\setupquotation[leftmargin=1.5in]
\quotation{Pito Salas, a developer at ATG, decided to attack this problem.
After a few months of studying existing real-world examples, it became clear
that the data, views of that data, and the formulas that acted on that data were
very separate concepts. Yet in every case, the existing spreadsheet programs
required the user to type all of these items into the same (typically single)
sheet's cells.}
The result in this case is that neither margin is affected with any combination
of leftmargin= and rightmargin=, either alone or in combination.
2. Creating an environment file env-myquotation.tex, which has as its contents:
\startenvironment myquotation
\setuplayout[leftmargin=1.5in,backspace=1.5in,rightmargin=1.5in]
\stopenvironment
...and then the slide:
\SlideTitle{An exception: Lotus Improv, an exceptional spreadsheet}
\blank
%\setupquotation[leftmargin=1.5in]
{\environment env-myquotation.tex
\quotation{Pito Salas, a developer at ATG, decided to attack this problem.

that the data, views of that data, and the formulas that acted on that data were
very separate concepts. Yet in every case, the existing spreadsheet programs

sheet's cells.}
}
\par
\startalignment[flushright]
\blank[2*big]
{\em Source: Wikipedia/Lotus Improv}
\stopalignment
In this case, the margins seem to work for the quotation, but, unfortunately,
the title is also shifted by the leftmargin (but not the right margin as title
width appears to remain the same; this title is longer than a single line), and
the credit which I did not need brought in was also shifted in to the right
margin of the environment.
So am I limited in my control over margins within a slide do you think? Or is
there another approach?
Thanks.

You can’t use a customized layout to change the margins of a part of the page
only,
use the quotation environment or put the quotation in a narrower environment.

Re: [NTG-context] simpleslides help needed
Hans and Wolfgang, Thanks, as always, for the prompt replies. Does this mean that I need to focus on the typescript mechanism rather than simplefonts? Wolfgang, that was also the point I wanted to clarify since from my earlier reading of the manual's section on Choosing on your own fonts, the example pointed to using typescripts. However, from the Aditya's posting I was encouraged that I could use (my) default method of relying on simplefonts. One last question stemming from the Jean-Luc Dumont's article on effective communications: is there a way to turn off the interaction bar in the slides. I am using the simple 'Shaded' style where the interaction bars are displayed as small circles along the bottom. Regards.

[NTG-context] simpleslides help needed
Hello all,
I am here at TUG 2012 updating the presentation that I am to give in the
morning.
I have had a couple of lingering questions regarding simpleslides that I
thought I would put out there. They are not show stoppers, and I have
lived with them in my other presentations. It is just that with my
brain on TeX (and ConTeXt) for the past few days, I thought that I would
try to resolve them once and for all.
1. Fonts
I would like to specify separate mainfont and bodyfont using the
simplefonts module (or some other consistent mechanism).
I have read the thread from:
http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/056495.html
and have tried to split up Wolfgang's suggestion into the two parts. I
have tried:
\usemodule[simplefonts][size=18pt]
\setmainfont[grandesignneueserif]
\setupbodyfont[dejavuserif]
which gets me the title font, but not the body font.
The other approach:
\definetypeface[mainface][rm][serif][DejaVu Serif][default]
\definetypeface[mainface][ss][sans][DejaVu Sans][default]
\definetypeface[mainface][tt][mono][Inconsolata][default]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
also doesn't seem to work at all. I get what I believe to be Latin
Modern Sans across the board.
I have resorted to using one of the default fonts via the module switch
for now, but would like to customize the font selection to my taste.
2. Margins
I have the following slide, where only the right margin is affected. I
have tried variations on backspace, width and margin but haven't gotten
the left margin to move.
\definelayout[quotation][leftmargin=1.5in,rightmargin=1.5in]
\SlideTitle{An exception: Lotus Improv, an exceptional spreadsheet}
\blank
\setuplayout[quotation]
\quotation{Pito Salas, a developer at ATG, decided to attack this problem.
After a few months of studying existing real-world examples, it became clear
that the data, views of that data, and the formulas that acted on that data were
very separate concepts. Yet in every case, the existing spreadsheet programs

BTW, I am using evince under Ubuntu and haven't noticed too many inconsistencies, but then I don't normally use transitions, but do use incremental slides a lot, which I understand are also only pertinent with PDFs: from p. 4 of the prosper manual in the section for Overlays, ``All those macros are only really meaningful in pdf mode; in ps mode, they do nothing or interpret their argument, depending on the option no/accumulate.''

[NTG-context] Migrating from prosper to simpleslides in creating presentations
Hello, I am trying to put aside doing my presentations using prosper, and migrating to using ConTeXt+simpleslides. I ask this knowing full well that many would consider these features as simply adding visual noise to presentations, and normally I too eschew them, but as I am reading Jean-Luc Doumont's book on effective communications I am reminded that the primary purpose of presentations is to affect change in the audience. I am to give a presentation in a few days to a group of designers/interior decorators, and for this audience presentations using these features are both appropriate and often expected. I am looking for the equivalent of transition effects in the prosper class---the simple Wipe transition would suffice; no need for Glitter ;). The other feature that I would like is the incremental displaying of a slide, i.e., the \overlays feature. Is there an easy way to incorporate these into a ConTeXt based presentation, even if it means not necessarily using simpleslides? advTHANKSance. -- - - Pavneet Arora Waroc Fine Audio + Custom Home Cinema www.waroc.com 416.937.WAROC (9276) ___ 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 ___

Re: [NTG-context] Why does the oldstyle numerals switch, \os, also switch off m-dashes?
Just for the sake of completeness, in case someone else stumbles upon this
thread, it should be noted that \definefontfeature needs to be set before
\setupbodyfont, i.e.,
\definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes]
\definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][onum=yes]
\setupbodyfont[schola,11pt]
rather than:
\setupbodyfont[schola,11pt]
\definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes]
\definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][onum=yes]
I made the mistake of using the latter form in one of my tests and was
left wondering why things weren't working.

In a manuscript length project, I wouldn't want to get {\os } for each local
instance. Now, what I have noticed was that the small caps switch, \sc, seems
to disable old-style numerals. Is this a typographic convention, i.e., that in
a run of small caps one should not revert to old-style numerals? Is there a
way of avoiding this assumption for a larger project? I sometimes have text
set in small caps that as part of a project ID would have some numbers in it.
In that case, I would like the old-style numerals to be used.
No, the answer is that smallcaps are activated with the “smcp” feature and this
is applied to the regular style with the “smallcaps” set. To get now old style
figures when you use smallcaps letters you need also this setup:
\definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][onum=yes]

Re: [NTG-context] Double height rows using natural tables?
Yes, I get that part. Perhaps, a larger example will illustrate .
Enclosed is a simple electrical panel. Many are 40 or 60 circuits large. Note
that you have an assortment of cells spanning rows depending on breaker size.
It is only by chance that in a particular case adjacent breaker might utilize
the full slot. Hence the [nr=2] approach. So in the given panel, if circuits
15 and 16 were both double-pole, it would be incorrect to label them as 15A/15B
and 16A/16B. Then for that particular 'row' I would need double height.
On 11-11-24 06:07 PM, Christian wrote:
If you want all rows double height except the first, just do it the other way
around.
\setupTABLE[r][each][height=0.7in]
and then for the first row:
\bTR[height=0.35in]
Then it's only 2 digits to change :)
[nr=X] is for a cell spanning X rows. Hint: nr=number rows. So you'll get a
single cell that reaches down X rows. it's not meant to be used to adjust the
height of a row.
Check this out, lots of examples:

Re: [NTG-context] Double height rows using natural tables?
From an earlier version using `unnatural' tables, I have enclosed the output PDF. This situation can arise anywhere in the panel/table where you have adjacent rows allow of which should be spanning a double row. In this case circuits 15 and 16 occupy a double slot on the panel with a single breaker; hence the layout should reflect this. How would this be best achieved in the natural table model? Shouldn't we just be dealing with spans independently of worrying about whether other adjacent columns will also require a row span?

Re: [NTG-context] Natural Tables---Including a bit of cell
Hans,
This didn't quite achieve what I was looking for. I was hoping for the
formatting of circuit 4 in the output file test.pdf, rather than what was
produced for circuit 8. I modified the definition of \spare so that by default
a 15A breaker is assumed unless otherwise specified.
However, a more pressing problem is this:
If I remove the comments from the row previous, i.e., I have two rows for which
I want nr=2, I get the strange artifact in test+.pdf where the second row gets
wrapped up a row. Even with the comments in place, the last row is single
height. What I really want are two double height rows similar to circuits 2 and
4 but for the entire row.

[NTG-context] Natural Tables---Including a bit of cell style in a \define
I am creating documentation labeling the circuits of electrical and network
panels for a project of mine.
Enclosed is a minimal example.
What I would like is to define two macros: \unused and \spare (\unused
referring to a circuit with no breaker installed, while \spare referring to a
circuit with a breaker, but no load). I wish these definitions to not only
include the represented text and font directives, i.e., {\tt [Unused]}, but also
shade the cell in a background color. However, I cannot seem to figure out how
to do that. Including the `[background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]' in the
\define seems to be expanded back simply as text.
Any suggestions?
advTHANKSance.

[NTG-context] What is the prescribed way to add attachments to a list posting?
In my last posting, I had included the source and .pdf output as attachments, but it seems that the source was included in-line and the .pdf was discarded. Is there a prescribed way to include attachments?

Re: [NTG-context] What is the prescribed way to add attachments to a list posting?
Thanks, Mojca. I was looking at the web-interface of the archives. It seems that the attachments *were* including in the mailing list message, but were converted/stripped in the archives. Regards. -- Sent from my Nokia N900. Please excuse my brevity. - Original message - On Tue, Nov 22, 2011 at 14:17, Pavneet Arora wrote: In my last posting, I had included the source and .pdf output as attachments, but it seems that the source was included in-line and the .pdf was discarded. Is there a prescribed way to include attachments? Attachments usually survive, but they may not exceed a certain size limit. Usually that is problematic - PDF documents may get very large, even the most simple ones usually exceed size limit (it depends on what engine and what fonts you use). I don't know why text attachment was converted into an inline one (gmail often displays simple text documents inline, but that doesn't mean that they were converted by mailman). Usually that doesn't happen unless a moderator did that or something weird happened :). Many people upload PDFs to their own servers and post a link if PDFs are large. Sometimes you can attach PNG with a screenshot of problematic part. You could also make an attachment in bug reporting software (http://tracker.luatex.org/) if you are reporting a bug.

[NTG-context] Is it possible to have \showlayout also display dimensions in inches?
Either in a separate column or in lieu of `cm'. For us those of us on the left hand side of the Atlantic, and who struggle with decimal numbers ;)? advTHANKSance. -- - - Pavneet Arora ___ 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 ___
