justification

[Jörg Hagmann]

Dear list members,
After months of trying to figure out what TeX, ConTeXt etc is and how 
to install everything needed I finally produced my first document. I 
was thrilled when I saw real pdf pages with footnotes and all!

However, I noticed the following problem (no doubt the first of many to 
come): justification on the right is far from perfect - there are lines 
sticking out. After going through the manual, I decided that 
"\setuptolerance[horizontal,verystrict]" in the setup area should do 
the trick, but it didn't.  Any suggestions? (I set up ConTeXt on two 
Macs, once with teTeX and once with TeXLive, and on a Mac running 
Mandrakelinux and teTeX - the result was the same (same lines sticking 
out) on all of them).

I am currently writing a textbook and I am looking forward to using 
ConTeXt.

Can you give some examples ?

Context IS the right choice.

AutoScale and AutoSize

[luigi.scarso]

I have to typeset a small paragraph inside fixed box.
I don't have much control about it's content, so sometimes
text overflow.
I try the following two macros, but they aren't good.



% AutoScaled: not what I really want, but
% sometimes works
%
\def\AutoScaled#1#2#3#4#5{%
% #1 horiz. limit
% #2 unused (maybe vert. limit)
% #3 horiz. scale
% #4 vert. scale
% #5 text
\setbox800=\hbox{\color[black]{\scale[sx=#3,sy=#4]{\bf #5}}}%
\newdimen\ScaleX \ScaleX=#3pt \newdimen\ScaleY \ScaleY=#4pt %%
\newdimen\LimitX \LimitX=#1 %
\ifdim\wd800 > \LimitX %
\edef\Ratio{\withoutpt{\the\dimexpr( (2\LimitX/(\wd800 /32768))) }}%
\edef\XSCALE{\withoutpt{\the\dimexpr( \Ratio\ScaleX ) }}%
\edef\YSCALE{\withoutpt{\the\dimexpr( \Ratio\ScaleY ) }}%
\setbox800=\hbox{\color[black]{\scale[sx=\XSCALE,sy=\YSCALE]{\bf #5}}}%
\fi%
\box800\relax%
}%%enddef \Autoscaled

%AutoSize is what I really want, but it's
%WRONG!!
\def\AutoSize#1#2#3{%
% #1=string #2=horiz.limit #3=initial font size
\newdimen\Limit \Limit=#2
\newdimen\FontSize \FontSize=#3
\doloop{%
\setbox800=\hbox{#1}%
\ifdim\wd800 <\Limit\exitloop
\else
% WARNING: eat memory , 1bp is bad step,
% force ss .... it's wrong
\advance\FontSize by -1bp\switchtobodyfont[ss,\the\FontSize]%

can you check if you have hyphenation? there have been pattern problems (changes 
in names and such)

btw, doe anyone object if i ship generic context patterns in the main zip?

See the attachment (testpage.pdf). There is a line sticking out in this 
way on 3 of 6 pages, plus a few minor protrusions of the width of about 
one character.

Hyphenation is working. I attached one pdf-page showing the result to a 
previous message which is being "hold for approval".

Great, as usually
(I lose it because if I  I visit
http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-1.htm
and from here I click on previous at bottom right,
I will go
http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-10.htm
which is  mag 0009.
It seems that from mag-0000 you jump to previous mag-0009 and not mag-0010).

I've printed and read it ; if I have understand, I 've tried to do 
something similiar with my \AutoScaled with implicit rettangular shape 
and one line of text;
maybe \AutoSize is not the right way.

Yes, I know (mag-0000 is a meta-magazine... :) )


When I try http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-1.htm
I see
mag-0000, page 1 of 10  and link previous and next (on bottom right)
Click on next:
I am at  http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-2.htm
mag-0001, pag 1 of 10


So on until PAGE 7 OF 10, and click next
I am are at  http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-8.htm
and I see PAGE 8 OF 11. (why?)

Again from start  http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-1.htm
click  on previous:
I am at  http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-10.htm
it's mag-0009, and I see PAGE 10 OF 11.
So previous of first is last -1 .

click on next:
mag-0010, which I had missed last night., which is last.

Maybe a broken link on site ?

Re: justification

[Jörg Hagmann]

Since the attachment showing one pdf-page doesn't seem to pass through, 
let me describe the outcome:
On 6 pages with mostly default settings, there are 3 lines sticking out 
on the right side by 2- 3 characters ("igt", "mt" and "ng"). In 
addition, there are about 3 smaller defects (ca. 1 character 
protrusions). I am using "il1", and "de" as mainlanguage. 
Interestingly, on 2 pages the defects occur at exactly the same 
distance from the upper edge.

Re: justification

[Willi Egger]

Guata obat!

This is nice, another swiss user! (sorry gang for this bit of patriotism)

In fact if you use \setuptolerance[verystrict] will cause TeX to use as 
few glue as possible, so the possibilities to stretch a line to have a 
better breakpoint is lowered. Instead you might use 
\setuptolerance[tolerant, stretch] or even 
\setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch]

Kind regards
Willi

I'd suggest
\setuptolerance[{horizontal,verytolerant,stretch},{vertical,strict}]

German has that many long words that I never get nice columns without 
"stretch".

Strange link on pragma site ?

[luigi.scarso]

Dear users,
it seems that I have some problems with
links to magazines.
If I go to mag-0000 at
http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-1.htm

on bottom right there are
PAGE 1 OF 10
and link
'previous'


If I click on 'previous'
I will go to
http://www.pragma-ade.com/show-mag-10.htm
(mag-0009) and on bottom right appears
PAGE 10 of 11
mag-0009 is not last magazine, so from first I jump to last-1 .

Is it right ?
Does anybody have this 'problems' ?

thanks
luigi

Re: justification

[Jörg Hagmann]

Thank you for the welcome and the suggestions - they worked. I 
misinterpreted the term "strict", thinking it would apply to 
justification. In the future, I'll try a little harder myself before 
asking the next question!
