This page intentionally left blank
by Giuseppe Bilotta 22 Oct '02

22 Oct '02

Hello, I just read a post on comp.text.tex asking how to make "This page intentionally left blank" in LaTeX. There, it's a matter of redefining the \cleardoublepage comman; I assumed that ConTeXt had some kind of built-in hook to do that, but I found that it is not so; the command that ejects a blank page when needed is \ejectdummypage, but there is no way to configure it to put something on that page. Could the page ejecting mechanism be slightly improved, with a \setupdummypage[...] command that defines what has to be done with the dummy pages? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Hi, Is there someone with a complete clean context archive that can be used as an import in Gmane (mine is messed up bu maintainers messages and bounced stuff)? If you have such a copy, can you discuss this with Hannu?

\page[blank] not working
by Rob van Swol 22 Oct '02

Hi, I tried hard but \page[blank] does nothing. \page[empty] works fine, but in that case the headers are printed, which is not what I want. What to do?

Frames (collection of)
by Giuseppe Bilotta 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

Hello, I'm working on an extension of tooltips (see attached file) whose primary goal is for use "instead of" footnotes in interactive documents. While I managed to write the core of the stuff in a rather short time, I need some changes in the core to make sure they work fully as designed. In particular, I need two things: (1) a way to disable counter increments during trial typesetting (2) a way to define "classes" of frames, with specific options to be set (once and for all, but configurable by the user) independently of the frame settings. (Just like for itemgroups). Could these be implemented in the ConTeXt core? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta P.S. A short notice on how I use them: \usemodule[xtips] \long\def\footnote#1{% \long\def\fncontent{% \tf\switchtobodyfont[xx]\setupinterlinespace#1\par}% \xtooltip{\blue\high{*}}{\fncontent}% } Suggestions for improvements are more than welcome

DocbookInContext: new version uploaded
by Simon Pepping 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

I have uploaded a new version of DocbookInContext. This version features improved support for tables. It handles align, colsep and rowsep attributes, multiple tgroups and tfoot elements. While writing this mapping for tables required some careful programming, the task was relatively easy due to Context's natural tables. They provide an excellent basis because they are powerful and flexible, and their design is close to that of the CALS table model.

itemize indent
by Bruce D'Arcus 21 Oct '02

21 Oct '02

This might be a dumb question, but I can't figure it out from the manual: How do I do a \setupitemize so that they -- the items, as well as the bullet that precedes it -- are indented? Bruce
