Subject: Help with Long Titles
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:29:41 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <B3434C59-ED22-4562-9EE8-B3D370EA5E72@stien.de> (raw)
Hello,
I am using a the startsetups mechanism that defines a title page in my environment file. That way anyone creating a document in my organisation can create a new document and get a consistent look of the title page. There is one problem with this: On occasions I get very long document titles and then the title extends over the left-hand edge of the page. I would like to incorporate a new line into the document title; I'd even be happy to do that manually, ie. it does not have to be automatic.
There are two problems here:
1. I had not had any success with putting a newline into the title; it will need to be not where the titlepage is defined but where it is used (see below). I have tried \par and \\ and none of them work.
2. Assuming I found a way to do this, I would need to also find a way of reducing the \blank[170mm] by the amount that the second line of the title takes up to render the information down the bottom in roughly the same place. If push comes to shove, I could create a second titlepage setup for two-line titles, but I much rather not. Is there a solution to that? Is there maybe a way to position the information down the bottom absolute?
Here is minimal example (or something very close to that):
% The title page
\startsetups titlepage
\startstandardmakeup[style=sans]
\blank[50mm]
\rightaligned{\bfd\getvariable{titlepage}{project}}
\textrule
\rightaligned{\tfc\color[darkgray]{\getvariable{titlepage}{title}}}
\blank[170mm]
\starttabulate[|plf{\tfa}|prf{\tfa}|]
\NC\tfa\copyright\thinspace Pearson Pty Ltd \NC \getvariable{titlepage}{author} \NC\NR
\TB[small]
\NC \color[darkgray]{Commercial in Confidence} \NC \color[darkgray]{\getvariable{titlepage}{version}} \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\tfx Uncontrolled copy if printed.
\stopstandardmakeup
\stopsetups
% ...and this is how it is being used
\starttext
\setvariables
[titlepage]
[set=\texsetup{titlepage},
project={Pearson},
title={This document title is very long, so I'd like to \par break it into two lines},
author={Tony Mueller},
version={Version 1.0.0}]
\stoptext
Thank you very much for all the help I have received so far.
Regards,
Malte.
