prevent hyphenation (flush left)

prevent hyphenation (flush left)

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

I urgently need to have my \framed texts left-justified (no
hyphenation and nothing may go over the right border)

I know that it must be trivial, but I assume that explicit
    \exhyphenpenalty=10000
    \hyphenpenalty=10000
are replaced inside \framed anyway.

Thank you,
    Mojca

Hi Mojca,

Does this do what you want?

\starttext
\framed[width=5cm,align={leftflushed,stretch,tolerant,nothyphenated}]
   {\input knuth \endgraf}
\stoptext

Hello, Aditya!

I'm replying a bit late, but this tip "saved my life" today! (I
replaced leftflushed with flushleft) I guessed that it was probably
because each box sets its own hyphenations, aliggnment and such, but I
didn't know how to control this.

It still doesn't do exactly what I wanted: some words extend beyond
the frame boundary, but I was faking a bit by setting the frame to
some smaller size and it still came out OK.

Thank you very very much again! (I spent hours trying to fix that and
some other seemingly minor issues.)

Mojca

Is there any chance that the interface would be documented in
cont-en.xml? I have no idea which options are available, but those are
not described yet.

I tested a bit and \framed seems to work OK, but I have no idea how to
prevent the name to extend outside of the frame in the next example:

\setuppapersize
	[S6][S6]

%\definetypeface [iwona] [ss] [sans] [iwona] [default] [encoding=ec]
%\setupbodyfont [iwona,12pt,ss]

\setupbackgrounds
	[page]
	[background=page]
\definelayer
	[page]
	[width=\paperwidth,
	 height=\paperheight]

\def\contestant#1#2#3{\page
	\setlayerframed
		[page]
		[voffset=3cm,
		 hoffset=3cm,
		 preset=lefttop]
		[height=6cm,
		 width=9cm,
		 align={flushleft,lohi,nothyphenated,verytolerant},
		 frame=on,
		]{{\switchtobodyfont[35pt]\bf #1
#2\crlf}\crlf\switchtobodyfont[30pt]#3}\strut}

\starttext
\contestant{Someone}{Withavery long Surname}{Country}
\stoptext

̣(All those people Withextremelylongnames are already leaving today,
so one problem less now: I had to improvise a bit to get the names
approximately OK on the slides, but I still wonder how to handle the
problem in the future if it arises again.)

Would it be possible to add those definitions somewhere to cont-en.xml?

Thank you,
    Mojca

Does adding the keyword stretch in align={...} give what you want:
		
\def\contestant#1#2#3{\page
	\setlayerframed
		[page]
		[voffset=3cm,
		 hoffset=3cm,
		 preset=lefttop]
		[height=6cm,
		 width=9cm,
		 align={flushleft,lohi,nothyphenated,stretch,verytolerant},
		 frame=on,
		]{{\switchtobodyfont[35pt]\bf #1
#2\crlf}\crlf\switchtobodyfont[30pt]#3}\strut}

Best regards: OK

No, not always (though it seems to be better than without it).

The original string was
    align={flushleft,lohi,stretch,verytolerant,nothyphenated}
which surely didn't work, but I have to do some more testing. Does the
order of parameters make any difference?

control the number of items in the startitemize environment

[batela]

Dear Sirs.

I have a large  buffer that include several items packed in a initial 
startitemize environment. Using this list, I want build a several small 
lists with five inital items in the random order.
I try to do in this way, but without success :-((


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\startsetups SmallList:make

\getbuffer[LargeList]

\stopsetups


\starttext

\startbuffer[LargeList]

\startitemize[1,random,packed][items=5] %%% -- this d'ont work. Why?
\startitem item 1 \stopitem
  \startitem item 2 \stopitem
  \startitem item 3 \stopitem
  \startitem item 4 \stopitem
  \startitem item 5 \stopitem
  \startitem item 6 \stopitem
  \startitem item 7 \stopitem
  \startitem item 9 \stopitem
  \startitem item 9 \stopitem
  \startitem item 10 \stopitem
  \stopitemize

  \stopbuffer

%\setuprandomize[1234]

\dorecurse{3} {\setups[SmallList:make]}

\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Thanks a lot

Jorge

items=... has to do with questionares, not with randomize

of course such a feature can be added but where does adding such 
one-shot extensions end ...
