[NTG-context] ConTeXt updater i-Package blocked
I blocked the ConTeXt-updater i-Package until the problems discussed on the ConTeXt list are solved. Normally I would not do that because unstable stuff is mostly done via beta releases, but this release does not have a beta and if I read the list I understand there are font problems. So I have blocked it to prevent an accidental update by users. G ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] framed texts for boxing stuff
Maurice Diamantini (dom) wrote:
Not sure what exactly is "vboxes" (something you can put in hbox? yes
it is) but LaTeX
raisebox, parbox, minipage can be put inside a text line.
minipage can manage its ones footnote, but this is not the question
here.
As the "LaTeX++" concurrent package designer, you should read some
page of the
LaTeX reference documentation "A document Preparation System"
It is little book (272 pages with the index !) and cover the core of
the
package.
hm, i prefer to start from user demands and personal needs; we used
latex for a very short time and i don't remember mini pages -)
Page 103 to 110 are related to boxes, and is what is missing in context.
I'm not sure that ConTeXt \framed command is able to reproduce
the parbox behavior (position a framed box relatively to its internal
top
or bottom line and the outside baseline)
i think we can safely assume that all these things are available somehow
(supp-box.tex implements a lot of box types)
normally \framed can do what's needed, so in your case, if you can make
clear what you want to achieve i'm sure that someone on this list can
provide the answer
in most cases you can use framed (make sure that you set 'align' to
something in order
to enter vmode)
framedtext is a bit more clever and handles some spacing issues
With your help, and some old reference doc and the wiki
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Vertically_Centered_Boxes)
I tested the following "one line text" which works.
(My version of TeXExec 5.2.4 doesn't seem to support \startframed and
\stopframed so I use \framed instead).
\starttext
% align:no left right middle normal high low lohi justified
% location: low depth hanging
a word and --%
\framed[width=.2\textwidth, align=flushright, location=depth]{
some stuff
}%
--%
\framed[height=3em,width=11em, align={flushleft,lohi},
location=hanging]{
other stuff
}%
--%
another word, same line
\stoptext
But more generaly, there is a frequent need about boxing stuff and it
seems that the \framed command is the way to go. But it's not always
easy to guess the various parameters to get an expected behavior.
So what is the current reference documentation about framed
- Context the manual (page 206) ?
- ConTeXt an excursion (page 45) ?
the manual as well as examples inside the core-ful.tex file
the most important properties of framed are
- offset (none,overlay, dimension)
- align (all kind of combinations)
- width/height (dimension or keyword)
- strut (yes|no)
just play a bit with it and you'll see the picture
Such a command is usefull inside some "hardcoded" slide.
And there could be a "\boxed" or "\cell" macro with default
"frame=off" parameters just to serve as special tabular cell.
I think there has to be two pairs of informations to position a
box (i.e. a "cell" text):
- how is the box is positioned relatively to its environment (the
location=
keyword I think),
no, location is limited to a few options; you can use macros like
\offset[...]{} or other box positioning macros; layers are also an option
- how to position the stuff **inside** the box (align= keyword)
What is the need for these 2 parameters :
- inside the box : everywhere. that implies two reals numbers
between 0.0 and 1.0 (perhaps wider?)
what are those numbers representing?
with some keyword for predefined values (flushleft, middle, flushright
low, high, lohi and baseline,
(vjustified, justified=hjustified serve another feature)
- outside the box : only verticaly ?
one real number [0.0..1.0] plus low depth (=base?) hanging (=top)
Here a parbox provide an option for aligning the external baseline
on the "top" ou "bottom" internal line.
How can I simply optain the "0.5 = vertical middle"
Probably the positionning parameters for outside the box are more
complicated : more than the internal reference point mention above is
to which external reference point the inetrenal point should be
aligned to ?
Generaly the baseline of the parent is the choosen one, but perhaps
one
like to use the "0.5ex hight" one as in minus sign in the "3-2,"
string
(but the TeX command \raise0.5ex could do that)
indeed, \raise and \lower and cousins can come in handy
(what do you use those mini mages for?)

actually all chars in enco-def that use funny numbers should be present

temporary introduce bugs)

Re: [NTG-context] columnsets and footnotes (minimal example)
But what can I do in order to have the main text in two columns (columnset) and the smaller footnotes in three columns (as it would be perfect for bigger document sizes)?

[NTG-context] How to break laws in physics?
Hello,
I thought it was because it was too late for learning that Maxwell
equations failed to work:
\definetypeface [maxwell] [mm] [math] [euler] [default]
\setupbodyfont[maxwell]
\starttext
$$\vec{\nabla}\vec{D}=\rho$$
\stoptext
But apparently it was something else, see math-eul.tex and please fix this:
\definemathcharacter [D] [nothing] [mr] ["44]
OK, Euler didn't work, so I tried to use Iwona.
\definetypeface [iwona] [mm] [math] [iwona] [default]
\setupbodyfont[iwona]
${\partial\rho\over\partial t}+\vec{\nabla}\vec{\jmath}=0$
(If I fail on the exam, I'll try to explain to professor that I found
a few mistakes in the Maxwell equations and lost the whole time trying
to fix them before I was able to learn further :)
I've found three "kind-of-bugs" in font itself (\jmath and \imath were
missing, \partial is mirrored, vectors placed strangely - the latter
may not be connected with the font itself).
So I tried to redefine \jmath to use dotlessj from italic version of
font and found another "bug" in ConTeXt. dotlessj is commented out in
enco-ec.tex. Well, I understand that it may not be present in every
font, but it's worse: it's already defined in the default encoding, so
\dotlessj results in double quotes, which is worse than no char at
all. enco-ec has some other faults present, I tried to fix a few of
them ([t|s]cedilla should be [t|s]commaaccent, \Eth and \eth were
commented out, while they are OK, one glyph is present twice, I

When I try ...

at the bottom of page 1 there is a lot of white space before the
footnote text of footnote 1-4 (the footnotemarkers 1 to 4 come up the
next page).
So in this example it doesn't seem to be possible to keep footnote
markers and text at the same page:
Wouldn't it be better in this case to fill page 1 also with the
footnote text of the following footnotes?
In this way the pages would look much better.
Is there a way (penalty?) to express how *urgent* footnote markers
and text need to be forced to the same page?
Or - in other words - to loosen the connection?
Thanks,
Steffen

I don't have the fonts that are used by symb-eur, so I can't test your
file, but my guess is that:
- if you only want the official euro symbol, don't even load the
package (but euro may not fit well with the font you're using)
- if you would like to keep slanted/bold version of the font and if
symb-eur satisfies your needs except that you want the sans version,
one possibility is to rewrite the package:
A long version is to change:
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerif][eurose]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifBold][euroseb]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifItalic] [eurosei]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifSlanted] [eurosei]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifBoldItalic] [eurosebi]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifBoldSlanted] [eurosebi]
into:
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerif][EuroSans]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifBold][EuroSansBold]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifItalic] [EuroSansItalic]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifSlanted] [EuroSansSlanted]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifBoldItalic] [EuroSansBoldItalic]
\definefontsynonym [EuroSerifBoldSlanted] [EuroSansBoldSlanted]
An alternative to the command you provided (but with the same
functionality and approximately just as long as yours):
% \startencoding[default] % don't know if this is needed or not
\definecharacter texteuro {{\ss\symbol[euro]}}
% \stopencoding

Re: [NTG-context] framed texts and other "minipage"
Maurice Diamantini (dom) wrote:
Le 7 janv. 06 � 13:50, Hans Hagen a �crit :

After much probing I found the culprit.
The framedtext takes the full linewidth and apparently does not
reduces it to the given size.
Therefore enclosing in a vbox seems necessary:
\vbox{\hsize=framesize\startframedtext{width=framesize ...
Question for Hans Hagen: is it an option letting framedtext set
the hsize when a specific width is given?
\hbox to \hsize \bgroup
\startframedtext[none][width=.5\textwidth]
\input tufte
\stopframedtext
\startframedtext[none][width=.5\textwidth]
\input zapf
\stopframedtext
\egroup
Why is it not possible to simply use the \framed command (with some
magic option to
put text into it) to do the obove thing?
\startframed[width=.5\textwidth, ]
\input tufte
\stopframed
\startframed[width=.5\textwidth, ]
\input zapf
\stopframed
in most cases you can use framed (make sure that you set 'align' to
something in order to enter vmode)
framedtext is a bit more clever and handles some spacing issues
If it is impossible, is there any equivalent to de minipage or
\parbox LaTeX
equivalent?
i dunno what those are, vboxes?
