setupthinrules

[Thangalin]

Hi,

From http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupthinrules :

\define\BeforeCommand{Before}
\define\AfterCommand{After}
\define\BetweenCommand{Between}

\setupthinrules[
  before=\BeforeCommand,
  after=\AfterCommand,
  inbetween=\BetweenCommand,
  color=gray,
  height=1em,
]

\starttext
  \input knuth

  \thinrule

  \input knuth
\stoptext

This does not produce the expected output; it appears as though the
before/after/inbetween commands, as documented on the wiki, have no
behaviour.

Pandoc uses "thinrule" (probably because it spans the page by default)
when generating ConTeXt documents.

Using only thinrule, how would you go about making a "totally sweet"
(ornamental) horizontal rule, such as those shown at:

Thank you!

Have a look at the fancybreak module.

Thank you.

Here is an example that changes the \thinrule to something fancier:

\usemodule[fancybreak]

\setupfancybreak[symbol=star]
\define\thinrule\fancybreak

Wikified.

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modules/fancybreak

Might need some corrections and additions.

Or

\definefancybreak[thinrule][symbol=star]

I wish there was a custom context-writer for pandoc, where markdown 
elements were mapped to semantic commands rather than visual commands 
(pandoc maps **text** to {\bf text}, which is worse).

setupthinrules

[Hans van der Meer]

Doing thinrules one can place a number of them.
However the interlinespace seems fixed to whatever has been chosen  
for "small, medium, big".
I looked into the code but could not find a more flexible mechanism,  
as for example
	interlinedistance=dimension

Trying to get the rules close to one another I tried
	\setupthinrules[height=2pt,depth=0pt,interlinespace=medium]
	\thinrule\godown[1pt]\thinrule
But the natural height of the lines then interfers. Setting \godown 
[negative amount] will work, of course, but seems unnatural to me.
At least I feel it condems me to trial and error between the rule  
dimensions and the amount of backspace.

I therefore suggest making the interlinespace accessible as a  
distance settable by the user and being the separation between the  
bottom of the upper and the top of the lowerline in the case of  
\thinrules[n=2].

By the way, doesn't that give thinrules then the same option as in  
setuptextrules[distance=dimension]?

yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer
