framed-vtop

framed-vtop

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear knights,

How do I get \framed to behave like \vtop? For example

\startext

\framed{\framed[width=1in]{1992} \vtop{Instructor, Physics, Upward Bound  
Math/Science Regional Center \crlf University at Buffalo, State University  
of New York}}

\framed{\framed[width=1in]{1992} \framed{Instructor, Physics, Upward Bound  
Math/Science Regional Center \crlf University at Buffalo, State University  
of New York}}

\stoptext

I can't seem to find the right options for \framed so that the year is  
flush with the top line of its argument.

Best
Idris

That worked, thank you. I actually had tried location=bottom, following a  
different logic of looking at it (viz, bring the box down), did not occur  
to me to try top...

How to make copyable Chinese documents ?

[fdu.xiaojf]

Hi,

My friends can use LaTeX+CJK or LaTeX+CCT to generate Chinese documents
the Chinese characters in which can be selected and copied. The 
procedure is using
 LaTeX to convert .tex file to .dvi, then using gs to convert .dvi to .pdf.

I can use ConTeXt to generate .pdf file directly from .tex. and the Chinese
characters can be selected, but when I try to paste it to another text 
editor, it
looks like this "üèÃËÂæúïÅ«§ÍÔ".

I am using chinese module in ConTeXt version before 2005.12.19. Will the 
new
version of ConTeXt fix this.

Regards,

Xiao Jianfeng

Cut and paste are not TeX functions. Your operating system and
GUI may be set up differently from your friend. If you exchange
PDF files with him I think you will find that he can cut and paste
successfully from your pdf and you will still have a problem with
cut and paste from his.  

I cannot help you further without having some clue as to the
Operating System in use on each computer. Also, what text editor
are you using? Is it the same as his text editor?

i've forgotten if there was a trick to do it using pdftex and context -) 

you can try the dvipdfmx route since dvipdfmx is more clever with those huge fonts 

future versions (next year) of pdftex will definitely support this unicode map trickery

It might be that a similar appreach to pdfr-ec.tex would do (you have
to tell to Acrobat which character code represents which letter of the
Unicode and is probably implemented in LaTeX), but esp. because of the
reason mentioned below I don't think that it would be worth the effort
to implement it now.
