[NTG-context] How can I reset the height of a row in \bTABLE..\eTABLE?
Hello All, The example below shows two tables. The first table has the height of its 1st row explicitly set, which then carries over to the second table causing the content to overflow the boundaries of the table. My question: Is there a way to either a) reset the row height for the second table using something like \setupTABLE[r][1][height=auto] or b) set the minimum height of a row e.g. \setupTABLE[r][1][minheight=3ex] so that the height is able to expand if necessary? I found a macro named \resetallTABLEparameters but it doesn't seem to have the desired effect. Thanks in advance, Mark Pearson \starttext \setupTABLE[r][1][height=1.5\lineheight] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD Cell 1 \eTD \bTD Cell 2 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \blank[2*big] \bTABLE \bTR \bTD This is a table cell with a long section of text in it which I sincerely hope is going to force the table to resize accordingly \eTD \bTD This is another table cell with some text in it too \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may be subject to legal privilege, and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

[NTG-context] Placing a scaled symbol within the flow of text
Hi all,
I am attempting to insert a symbol at a reduced size within the
text flow but I'm not sure how to achieve this.
I've included my test script below.
\starttext
\definefontsynonym[Dingbats][uzdr]
\definesymbol[filledSq][\getglyph{Dingbats}{\char110}]
\def\FilledSq{\symbol[filledSq]}
\def\FilledSquare{\scale[height=0.5ex]{\symbol[filledSq]}}
\switchtobodyfont[20pt]
\startlines
\FilledSq Here is a line
This is one line
and this should be another
\FilledSq Hello again
\FilledSquare and again!!
and here are some more lines
this is the last one
\stoplines
\stoptext
When a \FilledSq is inserted, the text which follows appears
on the same line but when a \FilledSquare is inserted the text
which follows appears on the line below. I'm probably using
\scale in an inappropriate way and I'm sure don't know my
\vbox's from my \hbox's!
Any examples of how to reduce the size of a glyph whilst
still being able to insert it as a normal character in the
text flow would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark Pearson

[NTG-context] Paper size, MediaBox, CropBox and cropping
Hi all, Does anyone know if it is possible to force the PDF output from ConTeXt to contain both a /MediaBox and /CropBox, having set up a document in the following manner: \definepapersize [BusinessCard] [width=85mm,height=54mm] \setuppapersize [BusinessCard] [A5,landscape] \setuplayout [location=middle, marking=on, header=0mm, footer=3mm, topspace=0mm, leftmargin=0mm, rightmargin=0mm, width=85mm, height=54mm, backspace=0mm] When I look at the PDF output I can only find the following box definition: /MediaBox [0 0 595.2756 419.5276] which works out to the size of the A5 sheet (595pt ~= 210mm, 419 ~= 148mm). However what I want to be able to encode in the PDF file is the size/position of the 'BusinessCard', or to put it another way, the positions of the crop marks, so that I can act upon that information using an external tool (specifically to generate a PNG image preview of the business card PDF with correct cropping) Many thanks, Mark. --- Mark Pearson BSc (hons) MSc DPhil IT Consultant Capita Symonds The Capita Building, Kingmoor Business Park Carlisle.

[NTG-context] Color Separation with external figures and spot colors
Hi All, Does anyone know if/how I can take a grayscale JPG external figure and assign it to a spot colour channel. The Color Separation manual gives the following example: \externalfigure[graphic][split=c] for assigning such an image to the Cyan channel but I want to say something like: \definecolor [Spot1] [c=1,m=.05,y=0,k=.47,e=PANTONE 308 CV] \definecolor [Spot2] [c=.69,m=.07,y=0,k=0,e=PANTONE 298 CV] . . \externalfigure[graphic][split=Spot1] Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer :) Mark Pearson. ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may be subject to legal privilege, and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

RE: [NTG-context] Mini-survey: What do you do with ConTeXt?
Hi All, I'm currently working in a team which is building a system for the automatic production of office stationery (business cards, letterheads and compliment slips) with ConTeXt at its heart. The system provides a web-application front end for selected users to create stationery orders. These orders are then processed to produce .tex files, which are processed by ConTeXt to produce press-ready PDFs. The PDFs are sent with order details straight to our in-house printing department. I was tasked with creating the PDF engine and chose ConTeXt because (a) I have a lot of experience with LaTeX and hence a great deal of respect for TeX's capabilities but (b) knew that controlling the layouts in LaTeX would be a pain. The following features of ConTeXt are used in this project: * Native support for OpenType fonts * Support for creation of high quality press-ready PDFs * Fine control over document layout, page design etc. * Support for embedding JPG, TIFF, PNG amd PDF images * Support for the use of named (PANTONE) spot colours The choice of ConTeXt was not an easy one having never used it before but my gut feeling was that it is a very powerful and flexible piece of software. It has met all my requirements so far but not without a fight, as the documentation can be very sparse! I will certainly contribute what documentation I can when I have more time.

[NTG-context] Installation of ConTeXt within TeTeX 3.0
I've been trying to install ConTeXt (ver 2005.08.31) within teTeX 3.0, installed from source exactly as described in http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation but have run into problems. Everything goes smoothly until I get to the section entitled 'Install the zip archive'. When I type 'texexec -make -all' I get the following error (after much other output): language: patterns da for da loaded (n=6) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/tex/context/patterns/lang-da.pat ! Nonletter. l.24 .s[ aring]3 ? I tried simply responding 'R' to continue running silently but when I come to the next step: cp -a /root/.texmf-var/web2c/* /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c The .texmf-var/web2c folder is empty, so nothing useful gets copied. Currently, typing 'texexec --version' gives me the following: TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997- 2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992- 2004 kpathsea: Running mktexfmt cont-en.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `cont-en'. kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt fmtutil: no info for format `context'. tex : unknown context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : unknown which indicates to me that I should start again from scratch. I have followed the instructions in the above-mentioned Wiki page to the letter (although I wouldn't necessarily know if something had gone astray along the way given the complexity of TeX/ConTeXt etc.) This includes: * removing the default TeTeX installation in Fedora Core 4 * installing TeTeX from the latest source package * installing pdfetex update * installing MetaPost update * installing Latin Modern Font update Could anyone point me in the right direction please?
