Simple Newbie Question.

Simple Newbie Question.

[Stirling Westrup]

I'm hoping the answer to this question should be obvious, but I'm
having no luck with it.

I'm trying to do a layout for a 1-page datasheet. At the very bottom
of the page, in some tiny font, I need to put a copyright notice and
datasheet ID number.

Ideally I'd like to define some fixed text block containing the text
(as its exact size and font have not yet been finalized), and then
somehow define the height of the footer to be exactly equal to the
height of the text block. Once I've done that, I need to place the
text in the footer.

I've been going back and forth through the scattered bits of ConTeXt
manual and the wiki, but I'm having no luck in figuring out how one
might do this.

Prefixes in labels

[Albrecht Kauffmann]

Hi all,

I want to give the references in the appendix of my work a prefix "A",
e.g. eq. (\in[eq:A-somewhat]) referencing to \placeformula[eq:A-somewhat]
should produce "eq. (A-1)" if this is the first equation in the appendix.

Does ConTeXt have this feature?

Thanks for any hint,
Albrecht

If you don't mind using a slighty different command:

\definereferenceformat [inAeq] [left={eq.~(A-},right={)}]

\starttext

\placeformula[eq:A-somewhat]
\startformula a=b
\stopformula

See \inAeq[eq:A-somewhat]

\stoptext

Best wishes,
Taco

Hi

is this what you want?

\setuplayout
	[topspace=2.5cm,
	backspace=1.5cm,
	header=0pt,
	margin=0pt,
	footer=1.5\bodyfontsize,
	height=middle,
	width=middle]
\mainlanguage[nl]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupframed
\startbuffer[Footer]
	\framedtext[align=right,frame=on, width= 
\textwidth,offset=3pt,framecolor=red]{\tfxx Datasheet:}
\stopbuffer
\setupfootertexts[{\getbuffer[Footer]}]
%\showframe

\starttext
Here is a Datasheet
\stoptext

Kind regards
