[NTG-context] Draft vertical text in margins

[NTG-context] Draft vertical text in margins

[Kip Warner]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 514 bytes --]

Hello list,

I'd like to place the text "DRAFT" in the left and right side margins
of every page, rotated 90 degrees so that the text runs vertically. It
would be nice if the text was 180 degrees rotated on the right side in
comparison to the left margin. I've tried with overlays and I can't
seem to get them to work correctly.

This should be simple, but as with so many things with ConTeXt it's a
bit enigmatic.

* repeated layers
* \rotate

Please make a M(n)WE that we can enhance.

you can try 'setuptext' and '\setuptexttexts' to put "draft" in margin.and use 'orientation' to change direction.

%%%%
\defineframed    [marginframe]
                         [width=max,     height=max,       style=\ss,
                          corner=08,     location=lohi,    frame=off]
\setuptext         [style={\ss}]
\setuptexttexts  [margin] []
                        [\marginframe{\hbox orientation 1 {DRAFT}}]
                        [\marginframe{\hbox orientation 1 {DRAFT}}]
                       []

\starttext
\chapter{C:Some Word}

There is no need for low level option when you use \rotate, e.g.

     [\marginframe{\rotate[rotation=270]{DRAFT}}]

\framed has a orientation key but it's not so easy to use in this case 
because you have to set length for width and height, e.g.

     \defineframed
       [marginframe]
       [width=\textheight,
        height=\rightmarginwidth,
        orientation=270]

[NTG-context] Letter module broken?

[Kip Warner]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3320 bytes --]

Hello Wolfgang,

I've been using your letter module for many years, but I noticed since
upgrading to ConTeXt 2024.06.21 23:32 it seems to have stopped working.

I tried your sample here:

   https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Letter#Hraban.E2.80.99s_complicated_logo_and_address_setup

When I try to typeset it, I see the following:

   $ context minimal.tex

   The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never
   \def'ed. You can just continue as I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Is the letter module no longer supported? If so, how do users
transition from \setuplettertext, \setuplettersection,
\setupletterlayer, \setupletterframe, \setupletteroptions,
\setupletter, and \setupletterdescription?

Hi Kip,
as the title says it’s my sample.

I’ve no problems with the module in LMTX 2024.06.18 or 2024.06.21, 
neither with my usual letters nor with the example.

Usually, there should be some log lines that tell you about the loading 
of the module:

modules         > 'letter' is loaded
open source     > level 2, order 3, name 
'/Users/hraban/context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/letter/base/s-cor-01.mkvi'

Please check if the module is there and re-generate the file database.

Hraban

It looks like it is not. I followed these instructions for installation
of ConTeXt on a 64-bit GNU/Linux system:

   https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation#GNU.2FLinux_2

I notice that the context/tex/texmf-modules directory exists, but there
is nothing in it, after the installation completes. Is there an
argument that needs to be passed to ./install.sh perhaps?

Thank you greatly, Wolfgang. That worked!

Will the modules automatically update when I run ./install.sh, or do I
need to periodically run the following?

   $ mtxrun --script install-modules --install --all

Hi Kip,

you need the second option.

Thanks Pablo. I wonder if it might be helpful if the modules were
installed by default since they're not that numerous or large in size?
