[NTG-context] Migrations: exactly LaTeX margins -- ConTeXt margins
Hi,
I want to migrate one LaTeX document to ConTeXt document. I only want to
put the _exact_ margins LaTeX use for \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}.
Anyone could say me the exact values I have to put in **layout**?

[NTG-context] startenumerate in romans a la LaTeX
Hi,
I just want to simulate the behaviour of

LaTeX is the item text itself who starts at the same point, not the romans.

You first have to figure out what the exact latex values are. I suppose
that they are documented somewhere or can be deduced from the document
class (maybe make a list for more popular document classes).
At some point there can be a module doing things like

[NTG-context] section conversion gets lost in MKIV
Dear list,
Here's a minimal example that work correct in MKII, but wrong in MKIV:
\setupsection
[chapter]
[conversion=Characters]
\setupsection
[section]
[conversion=]
\starttext
\chapter{first}
\section{subfirst}
\stoptext
It results in
A first
1.1 subfirst
while it should keep A.1 instead of 1.1 for the section numbering.

[NTG-context] problem with the removing of glue node in scrp-cjk.lua

What you observe is 'conversion' being inherited and makins both the

I think that I will remove the 'conversion' key completely in favor of
the set. Keep in mind that we now keep more status info around and more
or less local conversion settings (after all then can be changed each

So, a next release will drop 'conversion' ... better not that

[NTG-context] fixed columns height
Hello,
looking for the multicolums of fixed height I've found the solution from
Wolfgang [1], which doesn't work with latest beta (mkiv):
\usemodule[streams]
\definestreamlayer[test][method=overlay]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=test]
\starttext
\startstreamlayer[test]
\startcolumns
\input knuth
\stopcolumns
\stopstreamlayer
\setlayer[test][x=5cm,y=10cm]{\placestreamlayer[test]}
\stoptext
Here is the scenario: tree columns of fixed height should be placed at
the precise place (end of the page, so they can also float there).
It is necessary to measure their natural height, also, to check if all
the material fits in the the specified height or find some other way to
check if the material is lost or not.
Do you have any hints?
Thanks,
Jano

Re: [NTG-context] Making a feedback form
Op zondag 29 aug 2010 13:43 CEST schreef Hans Hagen:
there is the widgets manual on the website .. still valid
Thanks. This is for interactive feedback forms and I need paper ones,
but I think I can use it.
ok, paper is easier, mostly itemize (which has some features for that) and
framed and so then
I'll look into that. I also need checkboxes, but htere was something
like that in widgets.
yes, but using pdf fill in forms for that is overkill, better define a
symbol for that
I think I'll use '[ ]' for that. That is what I use in my current
OpenOffice document.
aren't there users out there who have made forms already who can provide
examples?
It looks like not. Well it is for me to take up the gauntlet then.
I'll try to make a set off macros and when successful, I'll put them
on the WiKi.
I am thinking about the following:
A macro to input several fields. The input's the same length and
starting at the same character every time position. Like (looks only
correct with a mono-spaced font):
Contact Details:
Company:
Name:
Address:
ZIP City:
E-mail:
Phone:
GSM:
Which would be called with something like:
\multiple-input{
Contact Details
40
Company
Name
Address
ZIP City
E-mail
Phone
GSM
}
And properly make a macro for this one also, because this will be info
that is requested often.
Next will be creating check (or radio) buttons. Would it be a good
idea to use different 'boxes' for those? I was thinking about:
Did you find this workshop useful?
[ ] Yes
[ ] No
[ ] A little bit
This would be generated with:
\radio-buttons{
Did you find this workshop useful?
Yes
No
A little bit
}
Next would be a construction like (always using the complete line):
What did you find the most useful?
This would be generated with:
\multiline-input{
what did you find the most useful?
10
}
Is this an useful way to tackle this?
Are there other input elements I should define?
Elements should always be on one page. How can I make sure this will
be the case?
Any tips about how to write those macros?
