[NTG-context] margin kerning problem

2005-10-22 Thread Alan C. Bowen
Sorry for the flurry of questions. But here’s one about margin  
kerning now.


I see that by using
\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono,mm][hanging][normal]
\setupalign[hz,hanging]
I can get margin kerning in the body text, but not in any footnotes/ 
endnotes. What else is needed to get margin kerning throughout the  
notes too?


As ever, any advice will be gratefully received.

[NTG-context] \naarbox

2005-06-29 Thread Alan C. Bowen
I have been reading through some of the source files (still working  
on that \note problem) and decided that I had better stop guessing  
what the English equivalent of \naarbox is. Is there a Dutch speaker  
who can tell me what I should replace this command with ?


Many thanks.

Re: [NTG-context] starting on an even page

Willi—

Many thanks indeed. \setuphead is the key. (Thus far I have read the 
short manual, but plainly I need to work through the general one as 
well, if I am to understand how ConTeXt defines/addresses basic 
typesetting issues. So there’s some of my summer reading!)

Cheers, Alan

Hi Alan,

you might want to study the general manual on ConTeXt pp 136 ...

there is a command \setuphead:

\setuphead[chapter][page=yes]

AFAIK \setuphead[chapter] is set to [page=right] in normal setup.

This is undoubtedly a simple-minded question. So, with apologies, let 
me say that I wish to produce a chapter in doublesided mode that 
begins on an even (left hand) page, say page 54. What I currently 
produce is a blank page 54 (with correct header) followed by the 
chapter itself starting on page 55 and looking exactly it should /if/ 
page 55 were the first page. In effect, ConTeXt is inserting a blank 
page so that the first page of the chapter proper is odd. How do I 
stop it from doing this? (There is no blank page if the first page 
number is in fact odd.)
Any suggestions or even pointers to some manual would be much 
appreciated.

\setupoutput[pdftex]

\setupcolors[state=start,textcolor=red]

\definetext[chapterstart][footer][\pagenumber]

\setupheadertexts[\pagenumber]

\setuphead[chapter][header=high,footer=chapterstart]

\starttext

\chapter{Zapf}

\dorecurse{20}{\input zapf\relax}

\stoptext

Along these lines ...
