Hi Thomas,
I've played with your presentation module and fond it nice to see.
In order to have it working on my system, I've "adapted" t-taspresent.tex
to my system needs (ubuntu + sanjoy's texlive repository = context
version:2007.04.17) :
line 169 : commented \usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]
line 554 : changed from a = 2*NOfPages-1 ; to numeric a ; a = 2*NOfPages-1 ;
line 555 : changed from c = PaperHeight/a ; to numeric c; c =
PaperHeight/a ;

HTH. Thanks for providing us both nice model and well commented source.

Olivier,

thanks so much! This helps enormously -- I had a few reports that  
these assignments were troublesome, but couldn't reproduce them on my  
system, so I'm very grateful you provide a solution! (Note to self:  
will have to ask Taco why this works on some systems but not on  
others.) I'll upload a new and (I hope) much improved version this  
weekend!

Best

Thomas

Hi Wolfgang,

sorry, no to your questions but the following setup works:

\setupTABLE[row][odd][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray]
\setupTABLE[width=.2\textwidth]

why do you repeat the setup command for every table, the first one is
global and should work for every table in your document, unless you
make a setup local within a group or a float.

Re: [NTG-context] Several environments in a project?

2007-07-21 Thread Sanjoy Mahajan
I had the same question and came to the following solution.  The
component files begin as follows:

  \startcomponent extreme-cases
  \product book
  \project project

  \startnotmode[*product]
  \environment env_book
  \stopnotmode
  ...

Here, env_book.tex is the product-specific environment file, which is
called at the beginning of the product file book.tex.  If only a
component is being run, the \startnotmode[*product] will ensure that
env_book is read in anyway.

Let me know if that does what you want (CC me as well as the list,
since I'm highly irregular in reading list email these days, due to
having a baby, and might miss your response otherwise).

I think that \startnotmode is not needed. \environment is smart enough 
to read the file only once. So, if the file has been read in the 
product, it will not be read again when the component is processed.

[NTG-context] Combining two pages on one, in landscape mode

2007-07-21 Thread Mikael Persson
Dear list members,

the following command:

texexec --pdfcombine \
--combination=2*1 \
--paperformat=landscape \
--nobanner \
--result=twoinone.pdf \
file1.pdf file2.pdf

used to work to get file1.pdf and file2.pdf in twoinone.pdf with two
pages at one, and in landscape mode. However, since installing ConTeXt
20070403 (the minimal version), this no longer works for me. I get the
output "texexec: No match."

I also get the same error with the ConTeXt coming with texlive on ubuntu feisty.

Any ideas of how to solve this?

Thanks in advance

A shot in the dark: depending on your shell, you may need to put the  
2*1 part in quotes, so try
--combination='2*1'

Re: [NTG-context] factor=fit images don't fit

2007-07-21 Thread Brian R. Landy
Hi,

What version of ConTeXt are you using?  I just noticed a difference a  
few days ago between the version installed by TeXLive 2007 and the  
April 2007 release (tested locally & through contextgarden) placing  
an image into a natural table, using factor=max.  I'll post an  
example in a separate thread shortly.

Regards,
Brian

[NTG-context] Some minor issus

2007-07-21 Thread Steffen Fritzsche
Hi everybody,

currently I am doing the final layout of my thesis for which I used 
context. I am now struggeling with two thing, which I think might be 
minor issus for some of you, but not so for me ;)

First, some of my URLs within footnotes are wider as the textwidth. Is 
there a way to force a line break other than defining break points for 
each of it? Maybe even with a nice symbol identicating the forced break?

Second problem is the formatting of the in text references. it would be 
nice if there is a way they were not bold. I tried different things with 
\setupreferencing but the text stayed bold. I could not find something 
in regards to this topic in the manual or in the wiki.

My thrid problem is, how can I force context not to continue footnotes 
on another page?

And a similar thing ... how can I achieve that there are always at least 
two lines of a paragraph on each page if this paragraph is split between 
two pages. I tried \clubpenalty and \widowpenalty as well as 
\def\defaultwidowpenalty and \def\defaultclubpenalty. But I am not 
really sure what the numbers identicate. I guess not the lines ...

Thanks in advance for all answers, once I am finished I am going to add 
this information to the wiki. Maybe it is already there but I could not 
find it ...

[NTG-context] \setupheader: leftstyle & rightstyle not working

2007-07-21 Thread Matt Gushee
[sorry if this appears twice--I accidentally sent it from the wrong
  e-mail account]

Hi, all--

I would like to use different styles for left and right headers in a 
book: I would like to set the left side (which shows the book title) in 
small caps, and the right side (chapter title) in italics.

   \setupheader[style=\sc]

works fine. So does

   \setupheader[style=\it]

But

   \setupheader[leftstyle=\sc,rightstyle=\it]

Doesn't work. Both headers appear in the (medium-weight roman) body 
font. Any idea why this is the case?
