Epigraphs are the pithy quotations often found at the start (or end) of a chapter. Both single epigraphs and lists of epigraphs are catered for. Various aspects are easily configurable. Visit CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/supported/epigraph Download from somewhere nearby (Search) Download from Dante Included in TeXLive distribution in latex3 License: lppl Version: 1.3 Catalogued: 1999/11/01 ---- ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/epigraph.tar.gz ---- >From the manual: 2.2 The epigraphs environment The epigraphs environment typesets a list of epigraphs, and by default places epigraphs them at the right hand side of the textblock. Each epigraph in the list is specified by a \qitem{ <text> }{ <source> } command \qitem (analagous to the \item command in ordinary list environments). By default, the <source> is typeset at the bottom right of the <text> . 2.4 Epigraphs before chapter headings The \epigraph command and the epigraphs environment typeset an epigraph at the point in the text where they are placed. The first thing that a \chapter command does is to start off a new page, so another mechanism is provided for placing an epigraph just before a chapter heading. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

A context version would be nice (perhaps by >making this package not dependent on latex but only on tex??) This looks rather trivial to implement. So, what is needed is a mechanism to typeset those 'quotes from famous books probably not read by the author but derived from one of those 10K famous quotes books' -) \startepigraph [tag] [author={Hans Hagen},note=2000} The fact that some installation programs ask you if you want to install the help info as {\em compiled html} or {\em pure html} makes me wonder if a next version of those programs will be distributed as pure c++ code. \stopepigraph \placeepigraph[tag] \setupepigraph[...] Now, what are the degrees of freedom needed?

It sounds like something you wouldn't need in ConTeXt, because a few lines of "setupparagraphs" or something would do the trick. (I mean, latex is plagued by a proliferation of too-specific features, while context has features that are very strong and more general.)

Perhaps i misunderstand, what Giuseppe meant with epigraphs, but perhaps it's something like that what you made for me: --- \useexternalfigure[hintergrund][partpic][width=15cm] \def\EPart#1#2% {\tfd\it #1: #2} \def\StartPart#1% {\page \defineoverlay[titelbild][{\externalfigure[hintergrund]}] \setupbackgrounds[rightpage][background=titelbild] \startstandardmakeup \part{#1} \vfill\tfb} \def\StopPart% {\vfill\vfill\stopstandardmakeup \setupbackgrounds[rightpage][background=]} \setupheads [align=right,tolerance=verytolerant]%, % before={\startlinecorrection\vbox\bgroup}, after={\egroup\stoplinecorrection}] \setuphead [part] [command=\EPart, style=\tfd\it, placehead=yes,frame=off, number=yes] ---- Guiseppe: This lets you not only write a sentence to the part page, but uses a background picture (here called "partpic"), too. \StartPart{How to become a ConTeXt freak} Not every knight lives in the Ridderstraat. \StopPart Hans, could you tell me how to enlarge the linespacing within this motto, if I use grid=yes ? -- Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://angerweit.tikon.ch/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
