[NTG-context] set headings in the margins
Hello all,
I'm a total newbie Context user trying to do something that is apparently
way beyond me. I'm trying to set up a conceptual three-column design grid.
The idea was to use the two columns on the right for body text, the column
on the left for margin paragraphs, and the full three-column spread for
headings. The easiest way I could find to set such a thing up was this:
\setuplayout[backspace=3.083in,
leftmargin=2.083in,
leftmargindistance=.25in,
width=4.417in,
rightmargin=1in]
where leftmargin represents the leftmost column and width represents the
other two columns (plus gutter). So far so good.
To get my heading to stretch across all three conceptual columns, I thought
I'd use something along the lines of:
\start
\startlocal
\setuplayout[...]
\stoplocal
\section{This heading was supposed to start at the left edge of the left
margin and wrap at the right edge of the text area}
\stop
where [...] would eliminate the left margin and margindistance and
re-allocate that space to the text width.
However, I haven't yet found any [...] that does the trick.
Whether my approach is basically right or totally wrong, I'd love to get
guidance on the best way to typeset a heading across both the margin and the
text area. I'm aware that it's trivial to make section numbers appear in
the margin; this is not the solution I'm looking for, though.
Thanks for your help,
Aric

[NTG-context] Hiding PDF-Layer
Hi,
I want to include PDF layers in document and the should be hidden by default,
the current behaviour is to show all layers I defined in my document and this
should be later by the user and not when I open the file.
The following shortened example from the modules show what I mean,
the text Text can be seen when you open the document but it should
appear only if you press the VIDE button.
\starttext
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\defineproperty[L1][layer][title=layer 1]
\button{HIDE L1}[HideLayer{L1}]
\button{VIDE L1}[VideLayer{L1}]
\midaligned
{\definedfont[Mono at 150pt]%
\startproperty[L1]
TEST
\stopproperty}
\stoptext

Hi Aric,
you can start with my solution, sorry but I have at the moment no time
for a better one.
\setuplayout[backspace=6cm,width=fit]
\def\myheader#1#2%
{\hbox to\makeupwidth
{\hss\hbox
to\dimexpr\leftmarginwidth+\leftmargindistance+\makeupwidth\relax
{\vbox{\hsize=\dimexpr\leftmarginwidth+\leftmargindistance+\makeupwidth\relax#1#2
\setuphead[section][command=\myheader]
\starttext
\dorecurse{5}
{\section{\dorecurse{100}{text }}
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth\par}}
\stoptext

[NTG-context] Problem with chemistry in display mode
Hi all,
The following example with the chemical module complains that ! Argument of
\mtharrowfill has an extra }..

\usemodule[chemic]
\starttext
$$ \chemical{2H_2,PLUS,O_2,GIVES,2H_2O} $$

The result pdf looks fine, though. The annoying problem only occurs when
there's an arrow GIVES, and only in display mode.
I am using ConTeXt 2007.08.24, and the complete warning message is

This error is due to a change that I suggested in math-ext (for over
and under arrows). I did not check that it breaks ppchtex. Here is a
fix. Add this somewhere in your style file:
\def\chemicalsingleouterarrow
{\dochemicalouterarrow
{\hbox to \dimen2{\rightarrowfill\textstyle}}}
\def\chemicaldoubleouterarrow
{\dochemicalouterarrow
{\lower.5\ht0\vbox
{\offinterlineskip
\hbox to \dimen2{\rightarrowfill\textstyle}
\hbox to \dimen2{\leftarrowfill\textstyle
\def\chemicaltwintipouterarrow
{\dochemicalouterarrow
{\hbox
{\hbox to \dimen2{\rightarrowfill\textstyle}%
\hskip-\dimen2
\hbox to \dimen2{\leftarrowfill\textstyle
Hans, this should be corrected in ppchtex. There are a few other
chemistry modules that use arrowfills, which now needs an argument
specifying the math mode in which arrow should be drawn.
I will look into it, but I have examples of working chemical
formulas.

Perhaps someone could offer help here? Thanks.

Perhaps I ought to tell what I'm expecting :-) ... Hope to create a regular (1cm spacing) grid on page, of bullets. Ultimately over the whole page.
