Natural tables: how to adjust row height/vertical spacing?
by Mari Voipio 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

This may almost be a FAQ question, but I just cannot find the answer in the wiki nor in mailing list archives: How do I adjust row height/vertical spacing in natural tables? In my old tables (\starttable etc.) the trick was \noalign{\vskip-6pt} but this one doesn't work with my natural tables. In Word I'd just adjust linespacing and paragraph spacing in the table, but that obviously isn't the soluction in ConTeXt - or at least I don't seem to understand enough to get it to work. Any ideas of what to do? I like natural tables, but if vertical spacing isn't adjustable, I'll have to stick to my old alternatives, tables and tabulate. If somebody gives me a working solution (that's simple enough that I manage to implement it), I promise to wikify it for future use... Mari (with lots of specifications and parts lists to fit into tables in small print...) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Inconsistent behaviour of placefigure[left] for math and text
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

Hi, When I use \placefigure[left] with some test, the text wraps around the figure. But if the paragraph, contains some formula, it does not wrap even after the figure is complete. How can I prevent such a behaviour. Example \startbuffer[figure] \placefigure [left] {}{} \stopbuffer \startbuffer[test] \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth} \stopbuffer \startbuffer[mathtest] \dorecurse{3}{ This is a dummy paragraph to support a little bit of math to show the trouble with placefigure \startformula a = b \stopformula This is a dummy paragraph to support a little bit of math to show the trouble with placefigure This is a dummy paragraph to support a little bit of math to show the trouble with placefigure} \stopbuffer \starttext \getbuffer[figure] \getbuffer[test] \page \getbuffer[figure] \getbuffer[mathtest] \stoptext Thanks, Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008

Hi, How would I use \setuphead[chapter] to have consecutive letters rather than numbers assigned to chapters (in my appendix)? Thanks for any hint, Joh

\bigr bracket missing in antykwa
by Aditya Mahajan 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

Hi, \bigr\} does not give me anything while using antykwa fonts. \big\} also does not work. \right\} works correctly. Is there something missing in the typescripts? I have no idea on how fonts work, so can not debug the problem. \usetypescript [antykwa-torunska][ec] \setupbodyfont[antykwa, 11pt] \starttext $\bigl\{ a \bigr\}$ \blank $\big\{ a \big\}$ \blank $\left\{ a \right\}$ \blank \stoptext ConTeXt ver: 2006.04.07 11:24 fmt: 2006.4.9 int: english mes: english No warning message is generated in the log file.

Fieldstack Walk
by Michal Kvasnička 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

Good morning. I use a fieldstack in my presentation. I'd like to go to the next frame when I click on the figure. I tried this: \definefieldstack[fgolds3] [sgolds1,sgolds3a,sgolds3b,sgolds3c,sgolds3] [frame=off,clickin=JS(Walk_Field{fgolds3})] \definesymbol[sgolds1][{\externalfigure[golds1]}] \definesymbol[sgolds3a][{\externalfigure[golds3a]}] \definesymbol[sgolds3b][{\externalfigure[golds3b]}] \definesymbol[sgolds3c][{\externalfigure[golds3c]}] \definesymbol[sgolds3][{\externalfigure[golds3]}] \placefigure[here]{none}{\fieldstack[fgolds3]} I thought that `clickin=JS(Walk_Field{fgolds3})' makes precisely what I need, but it does not. How can I make it work? With many thanks yours Michal Kvasnicka

Hello, On the previous thread I sent to the list the subject was "Two Problems: Colored Chapter and Footnote positioning". It should be: "Two Problems: Colored Chapter and FOOTER positioning" , and not footnote... soory about that. Miguel Queirós

Table column width on spanned cells
by nico 17 Apr '06

17 Apr '06

Hello, In the following example using the "nc" option, the 3 middle columns don't fit the width option. It seems that the table tries to fit to the page width instead. \starttext \bTABLE[frame=on,width=3em] \bTR \bTD[nc=2] A \eTD \bTD x \eTD \bTD[nc=2] B \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD X \eTD \bTD[nc=3] C \eTD \bTD x \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nc=2] D \eTD \bTD x \eTD \bTD[nc=2] E \eTD \eTR \eTABLE \stoptext Regards, BG
