Re: [NTG-context] How to define your own math character (MK-IV)

Hi Hans & Aditya Please be patient as I am not a developer just someone who writes documents. I discovered the integral symbols starting at the double integral are now composed by repeating the normal integral symbol n-times. However in an earlier email I commented that they didn't look right (something to do with setting the displaystyle (I think)) Then I discovered the Asana math font which has "correct" glyphs The missing symbols for math-vfu.lua are Asana math font 0x222B normal integral \int 0x222C double integral \iint 0x222D triple integral \iiint 0x222E contour integral \oint 0x222F surface integral \oiint 0x2230 volume integral \oiiint I also need the space-time integral \iiiint (4 i's) but could not find it in the Asana font Note for the other math stuff the Asana math font does not work like vectors and such. For $\vec{r}, \vec{R}$ the vector symbol is shifted to the right and not aligned above the character (hope this make some sense otherwise forget it for the moment). Kind regards gummybears

Aligning text to bottom of page
by Tom 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Is there a command that will align the text that follows to the bottom of the page? Copyright pages are often oriented this way. Another example of this is the end of chapter page in "The TeXbook" by Knuth. Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey

marginrule does not work properly in wiki
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Hello, The following example does not work properly in wiki (the rule is missed), while in mkIV it's OK. \starttext \startmarginrule The sound of a duck is a good demonstration of how different people listen to a sound. Everywhere in Europe the sound is equal. But in every country it is described differently: kwaak||kwaak (Netherlands), couin||couin (French), gick||gack (German), rap||rap (Danish) and mech||mech (Spanish). If you speak these words aloud you will notice that in spite of the consonants the sound is really very well described. And what about a cow, does it say boe, mboe or mmmmmm? \stopmarginrule \stoptext http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Reference/en/startmarginrule Regards, Vyatcheslav
