Wow, that was quick, thanks!

Now the remaining problem is: when and where is this beta going to be
available?  (I don't need it very soon, but am just curious-last
release notes on contextgarden are from May, I guess.)

Best,

Hello,

now that the ConTeXt meetting is over, I hope that someone looks into
this issue (note: I don't want to be rude or ironic or anything-I really
do appreciate you all helping us, poor users, on this list; but this
seems to be a bug in MkIV, so I hope it gets resolved somehow!)

Best,
Marcin

PS. As I wrote earlier, it works in MkII; in MkIV, instead of the span,
I get "cs:title][none] Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer
of a new system must not only be the..." in a frame, in one line (with
most of it disappearing to the right), spanning the columns.

[NTG-context] Problem with \columnsetspan

2011-09-20 Thread Marcin Borkowski
Hello,

I tried columnsets today, and the following minimal example shows that
something is wrong with columnsetspans (which I wanted to use to make a
title).

\definecolumnset[main][n=2]
\definecolumnsetspan[title][n=2]

\starttext
\startcolumnset[main]

\startcolumnsetspan[title]
  \input knuth
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}

\stopcolumnset

\stoptext

Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

BTW: is there a better way to have a title centered on the top of the
page and then text in columnsets?

Regards,

[NTG-context] problem with columnsetspan

2011-07-22 Thread Gordon Parrott


Hi All,

I wonder if you can help:

I have been having a problem with \startcolumnsetspan when I was trying to 
create a magazine layout for a Uk psychodrama organisation.

Out of curiosity ( and in the hope i might learn something) i turned on tracing 
for a short example that gives the problem





here is the source of the test.

\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\definecolumnset[columntest][n=3]%
\definecolumnsetspan[wide][n=2]%
\starttext
\startcolumnset[columntest]
\input knuth
\tracingall
\startcolumnsetspan[wide]
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext


of course it spewed out a huge log file but when looking at it i found this:



\dostartcolumnsetspan [#1][#2][#3]->\endgraf \vskip \zeropoint \bgroup 
\forgetall \ifnum \columnsetlevel >\zerocount \else \columnsetspanhsize \hsize 
\nofcolumns \plusone \mofcolumns \plusone \fi \setupframedtexts [cs:#1] 
[\c!width =\columnsetspanhsize , \c!linecorrection =\v!off , \c!depthcorrection 
=\v!off , #2]\!!countc \namedframedtextparameter {cs:#1}\c!n \!!countd 
\nofcolumns \ifnum \!!countc >\!!countd \!!countc \!!countd \fi \advance 
\!!countd -\mofcolumns \advance \!!countd \plusone \doif 
{\namedframedtextparameter {cs:#1}\c!alternative }\v!a {\ifnum \!!countc 
>\!!countd \!!countc \!!countd \fi }\setcolumnsetspanhsize \mofcolumns 
\!!countc \hsize \columnsetspanhsize \setbox \scratchbox \vbox \bgroup 
\dostartframedtext [cs:#1][\v!none ]\ifnum \columnsetlevel >\zerocount 
\namedframedtextparameter {cs:#1}\c!before \fi \unexpanded \def 
\stopcolumnsetspan {\dostopcolumnsetspan {#1}}
#1<-wide
#2<-
#3<-
{\par}
Lua linebreak_filter failed, reverting to default on line 9


Any ideas? my actual document exhibits the same sort of fault. It used to work 
before I had to update the minimals ( some time ago) when I moved to another 
computer and it failed then.


I must say I really like context and appreciate all the hard work that must 
have gone into it. I know that it is a large system and will take me some time 
to get to grips with. 


Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Gordon

[NTG-context] problem with columnsetspan

2011-05-21 Thread Gordon Parrott

Hi
I am fairly new to Context and as a way to learn I am working on a magazine 
layout for a an organisation to which I belong.

I was getting along well ( with information I got from the web site and the 
mail lists).

 I am having a problem with \starcolumsetspan. Until a week or two ago it 
appeared to be working but I have just installed the minimals on a new machine 
and it no longer works with the latest version.

I found this example on the mailing list which give the same results:

\definecolumnset[columntest][n=2,balance=yes]
\definecolumnsetspan[wide][n=2]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[columntest]
\startcolumnsetspan[wide]
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext


I'm just wondering if there is anything I might need to do to the above to get 
it to work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated but I am in no hurry for this and could 
wait until it gets fixed in the normal round of releases.


Cheers
Gordon
