[NTG-context] Re: proportional column widths in natural tables?
Hi Hans,
thanks for the tip regarding the stretch option. I tried the option and
had the impression that the table is streched if the sum of the widths
of the columns is less then the available width.
Yet, if the sum of the widths exceeds the available width then the table
is NOT shrunk! I tried other values for the option key (e.g. 'fit' or
'{stretch, shrink}') but the table remained too broad.
Is there a possibility to make the table width fit the available width
in any case? My temporary solution now converts the CALS proportional
width weights into absolute widths with small units (e.g. 'pt'), hoping
that the sum of these widths does not exceed the available width.
\setupTABLE[option=stretch]
\setupTABLE[column][1][width=10pt]
\setupTABLE[column][2][width=20pt]
\setupTABLE[column][3][width=30pt]
Best regards,
--Stefan

Hi Willi,
thanks for your reply. Can you please tell me, what the makeupwidth is?
It seems that I have to do some calculations for the widths by myself:
I have a CALS table model where the widths are specified by
proportional weights. - I have to sum the weigths of all columns and
divide each of the weights by this sum in order to get the necessary
stretch factors for each column.
I hoped the ConTeXt has already a mechanism for this kind of
specifiying the widths.
\setupTABLE[option=stretch]

[NTG-context] How to setup german documents?
Hi all!
I have a very basic question which occupies me for more than a week now:
How to setup documents for german language properly, such that:
1. the used input encoding is ISO-8859-1,
2. german special character are available, and
3. german hyphenation patterns are used.
The setup shown below does not work: TeX is not able to hyphenate
Änderungsabnahme and the \quotedblbase symbol is broader than its
counterpart the \quotedblleft symbol.
Thanks for your attention and help,
--Stefan

[NTG-context] t-nath difficulty
I'm taking a look at nath (via t-nath). Here's the very first thing I
tried:
In the following code, the first formula typesets as I want, and the
second doesn't. But the syntax in the second looks correct.
Bug or feature? or setup problem?
\usemodule[nath]
\starttext
$ y = (1 + \frac{}{a}{b}) $
$ y = (1 + \frac{a}{b}) $
\stoptext

Furthermore: I tried the LaTeX version of nath. It works as expected
(i.e. the second line produces a fraction)
So, ... it's looking like a bug in t-nath, I think.

What problem are you having? I tried this example and got the following
output (only typset nicely, of course):
y = (1 + (/a)b)
y = (1 + a/b)
Which appears to be the correct output. Are you using the current
t-nath/t-amsl (from december 2003, I believe)?
