[NTG-context] columns
I have some difficulties with columns inside a framedtext. The example below shows that columns does not work inside framedtext, whereas simplecolumns does. However, the latter does not show rules between the columns. Can I have both? Is columns definitely not working here or is it temporarily until something is fixed? Or will simplecolumns be extended to show the rules? % test columns within framedtext \starttext \startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth] \startcolumns[n=2,rule=on,balance=yes] \input tufte \stopcolumns \stopframedtext \startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth] \blank \startsimplecolumns[n=2,rule=on,balance=yes] \input tufte \stopsimplecolumns \stopframedtext \stoptext Hans van der Meer column-sinside.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] columns
Thanks, But I think mixedcolumns has to solve a problem width the width of the frametext. Whereas boxedcolumns honors the width of the enclosing framedtext, mixedcolumns does not.

Re: [NTG-context] columns
If I remember well, framedtext sets a localhsize for the width of its content. I guess that is why boxedcolumns stays within the width specified. But is there a specific reason why mixedcolumns in general does not?

[NTG-context] re-\place figure using the original figure number
I would like to have the same figure in multiple places in my document, but
each instance should use the same figure number.
\starttext
\placefigure[right][fig-3-36]{}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=2cm]}
Here is the first instance of a figure, \in{Figure}[fig-3-36].
\placefigure[right][fig-4-200]{}{\externalfigure[mill.png][width=2cm]}
Here is \in{Figure}[fig-4-200], just to spread things out.
\placefigure[right][fig-3-36]{}{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=2cm]}
Here is the original \in{Figure}[fig-3-36], but I would like for it to show the
same figure number as the first instance
\stoptext
But I want the figure to be associated with certain text so that the user
doesn't have to flip back to the original instance (it's a workbook of physics
problems so certain setups get re-used).
Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.

Hi Aditya, why don’t you use the version of Times New Roman which is available with the mscore fonts* package, it’s one the best ways to bet access to the fonts on a Linux machine. * http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ Wolfgang___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

I need ot have \tex and \arg colored with [option=TeX] (and I would
avoid having \type colored).
How can I do that?
