[NTG-context] xml - handling of figures

2011-03-06 Thread R. Ermers, Midden Oosten Perspectief 
Dear all,

I converted a latex file to xml docbook by means of pandoc. In intend to 
process the file with context. The first results are very promising.

I have some questions on processing graphics.

The source file looks like this:



  

  



  

 caption to this wonderful cow
 




  

  

(see also http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/imageobject.html)

I defined the setups as follows:

\startxmlsetups xml:inlinemediaobject:imageobject:imagedata
\placeedgefigure{}{\framed[frame=off]{\setlayer[graphics]{\externalfigure[\xmlatt{#1}{fileref}]}}}
\stopxmlsetups

Context places the figures nicely in the file. So far so good!

Now I would like to use:

1. the scaling information in the scale attribute
2. in some instances the image is not scaled, but needs to be enlarged 
according to a fixed height and width.

3. I would like to print the caption.

I looked into Hans' documents on xml, but the examples are different from those 
that I have. At least, I seem not to understand them.

Does anyone have an advice?

[NTG-context] Arabic typesetting with ConTeXt: 'hello world'

2011-03-05 Thread R. Ermers, Midden Oosten Perspectief 
Dear all,

I read Jon's, Khalid's, and Idriss' exchange of mails on typesetting Arabic a 
while ago.

Problems with typesetting Arabic in context thusfar have been my only reason 
left for not switching over to ConteXt altogether.

Idriss adviced to forget the mirroring thing as suggested on contextgarden, and 
use \setupdirections instead.

Could anyone - perhaps Jon - please tell me in more detail how the working 
'hello world' example looks like, including the references to the font 
ScheherazadeRegOT.ttf?

Thanks in advance!

Robert

[NTG-context] serial letters with letter module

2011-02-10 Thread R. Ermers, Midden Oosten Perspectief 
Dear All,

I have been using Hans' old correspondence module with an xml - rng database as 
documented for a number of years.

I now want to switch to Wolfgang's letter module, but do not know how to 
connect it to the xml database. For example, commands like:

\XMLprocesscontacts[./../../adressen-xml/adressen.xml]

\setvariables
[letter:data]
[address=\XMLflush{address},
prefix=\XMLflush{prefix}
]

do not work anymore.

Could anyone (Wolfgang?) help me out in this ? I have installed both mkiv and 
mkii.

Thanks on beforehand,

Robert
