[NTG-context] long tables in multicolumns / Interactive cross-referencing
Hi !
I'm currently creating a book in context - it's a tremendous project ! -
and I have a couple of questions:
Firstly, I'm interested in the "multicolumns table issue" raised in
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE. Do you have an idea of a date for a
fix ? Alternatively, it's quite a huge work to skip portions of tables
at the good size, especially when an entry is added at the beginning
Secondly, I have here a code in which several cross-links are down with
MKIV (2012.05.30). It happens for references to chapter (or
section/subsection) when \startcomponent is used (with starttext it is
just ok). When merged in the whole document, I only have the problem for
cross-links interns to a file (and each file is a component...)
Thanks in advance !

Re: [NTG-context] Node for startbuffer.
Hi André, > Anyone can suggest a category for it? > http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Commands > > Nodes? Yep. Creating [[Category:Command/Nodes]] seems like a good idea. To create the command page, navigate to the intended title (e.g. Command/boxmarker), click ‘Create’ in the top right, and copy-and-modify the command page template that you can find here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Help:Command_reference#Command_page_template Possibly add it to the category [[Category:Command/LuaTeX]], too. If you find yourself having questions about the wiki, or just wanting help, even for trivial stuff, just poke me on my talk page: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User_talk:Esteis Or send me a private e-mail, of course, that's also fine.

(X)HTML is also (used, even if not planned as) view-based, not structurally meaningful, so you'd need a limited and defined "subset" of HTML to make meaningful TeX code from it - not very different from word processor usage.

Re: [NTG-context] Typesetting LibreOffice (ODT) documents with ConTeXt
Hi Bill, I will jump in here after I have been following this thread. There is a more direct method that you can use though at first it requires some work. Then again, it might not work if the formatting used is quite complex. A long while ago I had to join several Word documents to form a book and output as a pdf for the publisher. As usual with all collaborative work in acedemica, nobody followed the guide lines. Word choked on putting such a large document together. A real mess! So, I decided to convert every thing to LaTeX. I wrote a few Word macros that converted the quotation marks to commands, converted the footnotes to LaTeX commands, translate the öäß, etc to LATeX, and the Word-formating to LaTeX- Commands environments of my own liking (names). Saved the documents as standard text file. In LaTeX I set up the environments as I needed then. This work flow work quite well. regards Keith.

[NTG-context] Showing a cutting-frame
Hi there, to precize my question about the page-edges a few days ago, I know now what the perfect solution for me would be: 1. Is it possible, that context prints on every page an frame/box, which has excactly X mm distance to each of the four borders, no matter how I change the papersize? (Too the the real layout after cutting.) 2. And in addition to this, again my last question: Is there an command like "\addpapersize[x]" which increases the papersize x mm on all four directions of the page? (Useful, because with that I would not have to add always x mm cutting-space to topspace, bottomspace, cutspace and backspace manually, if I change the layout.)

I have been able to teach some of my collaborators to exchange plain text. They mostly use MSWord as their editor. After one or two round trips in plain text format (.txt for them), they eventually learn to focus on content and forget about format. This is pretty easy with utf8 and ConTeXt as it is mostly readable text. One constraint, though, is to keep paragraphs to one very long line with no \n or \r. This is not a problem for me as I simply configure my editor to wrap its view (not the file).

Traditionally in typesetting and typography whitespace is just that white space. White space can also be inter-word spacing (horizontal). Since ConTeXt's setupwhitespace just maps to the parskip-demension I personally find the name confusing. Possible for a synonym one maybe should use then setparagraphskip.

Since, I noticed the the paragraph(s) environment, I only assume that the functioned similar to the header environments. My mistake! It would have been nice, if ConTeXt had such an environment. I do not know how ConTeXt processes things internally, but since it is a front end, ConTeXt could have the syntactic sugar of a "paragraph"-environment. That is that, while parsing the source it injects groups into the code it outputs for the paragraphs. This would give us then "paragraph"-layout. Naturally, this is not a TeX way, but could be a ConTeXt way. > > ConTeXt provides also a paragraph environment but this add only tags when you > export the document > as XML or create a tagged PDF. > > The paragraphs (note the "s") environment has a Hans already mentioned > nothing to do with paragraphs, > it just puts the content on columns where each column can con tai multiple > paragraphs.
